FIVE

Dophin turned FIVE today.

I L O V E this kid soooooo much it hurts!

We had a water party in our backyard and played games like:

Pin the Fin on the Shark

Over and Under Water Balloon Race

Musical Beach Towels

(Dolphin rrrrreally wanted a pinata so....)

we did a Pinata

Fish, Fish, Shark

etc. etc.

I got my craft on and made him this birthday crown.

(Shhh, don't tell. It was super easy to make!)

He originally wanted me to make him a praying mantis birthday cake.

I talked him into a beach/water themed birthday cake.

Hello! I couldn't find a praying mantis cake anywhere on the internet, besides, I think this cake turned out waaaay too cute for words. ;)

I used this cake recipe - Dolphin's favorite! and this frosting.

YUM!

Happy Birthday!

I love you to pieces.

I'm glad you had a fun day.

Will You Be Mine?

My son had his preschool Valentine party today. I saw these robots here and thought they would be fun to make. Dolphin signed his name on the back and drew all of the mouths on. He also made sure that I didn't burn my fingers with the glue gun.

We were pretty pleased with how they turned out.
