We began the birthday extravaganza on Friday at Slade's school. He was "Star of the Week", which is code for your birthday is this week. He was the leader and got to do some special things throughout the week and wrapped it up with cupcakes and favors on Friday afternoon.
He wanted frogs for his school party. I found a picture of these cupcakes online and decided to try them out. The eyes are marshmallows and chocolate chips. They were really cute. I started decorating them on Friday morning around 7:15 and finished just before 8, so they didn't take too long. Finley helped eat chocolate chips before the sun came up.
The finished two batches.
Slade got to point to all his photos on his star board and tell about them. His teacher does a great job at making them feel really special when they are the Star!
The party continued on Saturday at Ready,Set,Go. We asked some classmates and soccer friends mostly to come play at the gym for his party. They played for an hour and ate pizza and cake the last thirty minutes.
Nana holding a girl that jumped about 500 calories off during the party!
Make a wish!
The other birthday girl is getting a little sleepy-it was right during her nap time.
The silence in the room was when all the pizza was passed out. You could hear a pin drop!
Only the very brave attempted this! Tucker is still trying to decide if he likes this or not.
He had lots and fun and was really sweaty.
They would swing from the rings into the foam blocks. These blocks will ruin all socks-we've learned the hard way. Finley loves swinging on the rings during her gymnastics class. This is the same place she attends class on Wednesdays.
The Ocean cake. It was so cool and very large! It looked like a wedding cake because it was so tall! Slade saw a picture of one and he wanted it "tall". I think we achieved that! We are still passing it out to neighbors! It was yummy, though.
We can't believe he's six!
The birthday group minus Finley and Emma.
So much fun in the big rolling circle!

Wow!! What fun. I can remember that day. Yelling down the hall. He's here. Where does the time go. Glad you guys had a good weekend. Ours was awful. Sarah is down again. The kidney isn't working right. We will be at the hospital for tests tomorrow.
Keep us in your prayers.
