Jackson's Birthday party


Jackson is growing up faster than a speeding bullet. He's a bird..he's a plane...he's TURNING FIVE.

Here's what we've got lined up for Jacksons 5th birthday:
a backyard water slide ride
grilled cheese, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, carrots, raisins, & other healthy snacks
a superhero cake which will not be healthy in any way
popsicles

Here's what you need to bring:
yourselves with cape and or bathing suit (cape and bathing suit are optional)
towels (i think most of ours might be in use laying in pathways throughout the house)
no gifts, please

and we can almost guarantee:
a grossly muddy backyard,
a certain little girl in pigtails screaming her head off for any amount of time that she is NOT going down the water slide on her Daddy's lap,
Jackson speaking excitedly in his high-pitched squeal voice, which he assumes for moments of great excitement,
the birthday boy parents (I) will not have to think up or orchestrate any clever games, imaginative craft ideas and thereby avoid doing anything that would require effort
at some point you will be getting splashed in the face by people much shorter than you

All together...a superfun time that's sure to be the high light of your summer (or at least your weekend)!

Happy Birthday to the coolest, super boy! Sounds like tons of fun and we wish we could be there (the water slide sounds especially exciting!). Have fun!

I was there, just inside the door on skype listening to all the squeals and conversation for over 2 hours!!!! Ya gotta love this technology, when Nanna can be part of the party all the way from Paris. Kisses and hugs--I had a blast being there!

Happy FIFTH birthday my little superhero! Have a slide down the bonzai slide for me & mine, gobble tons of so not healthy, but oh so good, cake, take flight with your magic cape & splash lots of water on all the tall people! We miss you and wish we could celebrate with you, but we'll see you soon.
Love & Happy Day!

can't you see that is CLEARLY the symbol for the Flash, Superman, Green Lantern, and Martian manhunter. Duh. made with no frosting accessories whatsoever, just a spoon and a toothpick. Sheesh, i thought a cake expert like you would be able to tell!

Hey, are you in labor? If not, visit my blog because I "tagged" you. If you are in labor, I am sending you easy labor vibes! Love you and can't wait to hear happy baby news SOON :)

Clan Mac Mama said...

OKAY, I know Lucia tagged you and I am waiting with bated breath for your post. you better be in labor if you're not tagging others. cuz, you can tag from the comfort of the couch with the laptop. unless of course it's across the room and then you need to have billie fetch it for ya. don't forget to have her make you a quick snack while she's at it. :-)
MISS YA!! Happy baby/labor thoughts. I vote for tate.
love,
tiff +1
