Andy's 5th Birthday

Today is Andy's 5th birthday! He started the day early this morning with a chocolate sprinkle birthday donut and his first birthday gift...a Bumblebee Transformer!



After his normal Tuesday morning music class, we surprised the little guy with a redecorated room. Star Wars themed, of course. He was pretty excited to sleep on his new sheets under the glow-in-the-dark stars that now cover his ceiling (something I will probably regret someday).



The highlight of the day for Andy was definitely his Star Wars party tonight. Andy and 9 of his friends became Jedi Knights and battled themselves (and us) to the point of exhaustion with their dollar store foam light sabers. Every birthday party is a learning experience for me. This year I learned that planned activities with 5 year olds take half the time expected. It was a crazy 2 hours with lots of improvising for some short attention spans! Thankfully, Andy's dad was willing to wage battle with the little Jedi's and killed a lot of time.

Reminds me of when Scott was about Andy's age. Mex, Linda and Scott came over to our house for a meal and Scott and I passed the time playing Star Wars with a Dagaba System and various Star Wars characters. He was a fun kid!
