I'm a bit late with this post, but it is an important one as my youngest babe turned 6 last week. And what a week of celebrations it was! Having just started a new job I felt busier than usual and we had a massive lead up to Quinn's special day. I was fortunate enough to do classroom help with him after a morning of opening presents and exclamations of how much bigger he definitely is (and a couple of tears from me in private, lamenting the end of the preschool years and the passing of what was a wonderful time in my life. Though the freedom of having children who are less reliant on us for everything and mostly require more conversation with us than supervision is a pleasure).
So we out for dinner on his actual birthday (Thursday) with just family. All 23 of us, not including a couple who couldn't make it. Then on Saturday he had his party. Can you guess what the theme was?
Star Wars. Even though he decided to dress as a pirate (hey, its his perogative). He invited 8 friends from school, all of whom came. It was FABULOUS weather and we were able to be outside for most of it. Matt arranged workshops from droid making to make your own light sabers. I did food, decorations and pass the parcel, pin the asteroid on the space ship. It was a success, the boys were all exceptionally well behaved and Quinn soaked up every minute of his birthday week.
A day after his birthday Quinn lost his second tooth. The tooth fairy was so exhausted that she forgot to come that night, visiting instead on the second night and leaving a bit extra for interest!! We are all looking forward to a quieter couple of weeks of catching up with friends in the holidays!
