Calin wanted the theme for his birthday party to be "Play-doh". I was nervous about that- I mean who has ever heard of a Play-doh party before? The invitations were cute and were attached to a little personal sized playdoh container, and they invited the whole family to come. (we ended up with 35 people at the party!) A week before the party the kids and I made something like 20 batches of playdoh (made with kool-aid for color and to make it smell good, and we mixed massive amounts of glitter in them to make them special) We had playdoh up the wahzoo!!!! Ash and CJ loved helping make the playdoh- it is a surprisingly messy thing to do. We made enough for the kids and the adults to play with. And the adults had just as much fun as the kids did! When the kids -and adults- made something "so special- they wanted to keep it forever" they got placed on a drying rack to dry and later get a clear coat. It was the funnest party ever!
CJ made a bowl full of gumballs
Ashley made a beautiful rose- all of the petals were individually sculpted and placed. I have know idea how she knew how to make it so nice, i sure as heck didn't teach her that!

Opening presents It was a wonderful party with many people who love him there: all the Stones, Brian's Family, G&G Smith, Mike and Kristine, Dave, and friends galore! The party was so much fun that most people stayed more than an hour after the party ended sitting at the table talking, the adults making a game out of a box of eating See's candy, and playing with some of CJ's new toys. It was the best birthday party ever!
I am now a little homesick! I wish we could have been there too.
