We had Noah's birthday party this afternoon. Since he doesn't go to school and he's not best of friends with his primary class, he's low on buddies, so we just had a little family gathering. Noah was thrilled just knowing his cousins were coming and Uncle Nate, the all-knowing Zelda champ. Anyway, we had a little craft party and a silly little treasure hunt. The whoopie cushions were the favorite of the day, especially Ben's. Then we had cake, which Noah designed completely on his own (pink, yellow and green flowers because those are his favorite colors, and a flower on each slice because he LOVES frosting!) Uncle Nate let him fire up the chocolate fountain (which was filled with white chocolate--another favorite of Noah's) and everyone enjoyed dipping their fruit in the extra fat. Then Noah opened up his presents and received Madagascar, Jumanji and Wallace and Grommit on DVD, all the spy gear you could ever imagine, a "real" doctor kit from Aunt Kak and cash from the grandparents. Everything ran relatively smooth, except for the part where Mark and Denver spent 45 minutes at Party City waiting for them to find the whoopie cushions and came home empty-handed and I sent Mark back to the store because we just HAD to have a prize for that leg of the treasure hunt and when he returned to Party City, there were the whoopie cushions, right there! I'm sure Mark wanted to punch a few faces in, including mine, but he managed to deal with it all and stay in a good mood. Noah had a wonderful time and I think we got him to five, happy and satisfied, which is no small feat.
