Marcus's 5th birthday party

Organized chaos. That's pretty much what this party was about. We decided to have Marcus's birthday party early because everyone seems to be pretty busy in July (although now he swears up and down that he's 5 years old already). The theme: Power Rangers with some Transformers mixed in. The guests: 14 children with a mix of ages from 6mos to 10 years old-although the majority were between 3-5. The location: we had the party at the YMCA and did some swimming before dinner, presents and cake. I'm glad we had the party, although I totally stressed out about the details before hand. I had to remind myself that 5 year olds aren't too picky when it comes to party particulars.

Clicking on the cake will reveal all the wonderful fun that the children had. Marcus asked for a white cake and white frosting. He also wanted Transformers to decorate the top of it. Here's the birthday song:

One more cute thing-the girl standing next to Marcus in the black dress is one of his little friends from preschool and her mom babysat my kids while I was in school. Anyway, this little girl dressed up special for Marcus's party and even put on some perfume! We asked Marcus if she was his girlfriend-well, yes, she's not his girlfriend, but his girl friend.
