Party!

carson had his seventh birthday party today. it was just a bunch of sweet little boys from the neighborhood and school, playing quietly and eating cake and ice cream. pleasant and peaceful.
see below - two minutes after drop off.


after gathering in the living room, we headed downstairs to make some "gloop". its a little creation of borax, water, white glue and food coloring. not messy at all with all those sweet little boys mixing so nice and neat. i of course did not end up taking the whole mess and throwing it in the trash can after they left the room. and when they asked for their "gloop" before going home, i did not lie to them and tell them it didn't turn out right after all.

we then came upstairs and using our manners sat down for some seven pound chocolate cake and ice cream.

after washing our hands and throwing away our trash, we opened up presents.


the highlight was a giant rocket from mom and dad which we promptly went outside to launch.
great fun was had by all.


until of course...



well its all fun until somebody puts the rocket on the roof.
