Zachary is 6!

Zachary's 6th birthday bash was a Lego party.
Very fitting for the boy who wakes up 1.5 hours before school in order to play with Legos.
We had fun gathering ideas for the party. (so much inspiration here)
Zach was able to help assemble the invitations, and deliver them.
More than once I overheard him tell the invitee to please share the jellybeans with their siblings.
He's always been a thoughtful kid.
At the party, we played a Lego-drop game, and pin-the-lego game.
But the big hit was a homemade Lego piñata that David created.
It was a pull-string piñata he rigged up out of a cardboard box, swimming noodle and spray paint.
And it certainly was my favorite part.
Worked like a CHARM, and the kids giggled with anticipation at each string pulled.
We sang and ate cake, opened presents and admired Zachary's new toys.
Although our little home was stuffed to the brim with party people,
I'd say it was a success.
Happy, Happy Birthday to Zachary!

lots of birthdays in your house! how fun. stephmodo does have a fun blog. i liked the paris themed party she had up a few days ago. i was glad to see i'm not the only sucker to have gotten those little 10 for 1 euro/dollar eiffel keychains you get suckered into buying from vendors around the tower. makes for a good party favor though. those little cherry pops she sells in her etsy store i found a few months ago at homegoods for like 14 for 3.00. score. they will make cute cupcake toppers. wouldn't it be fun to just have partys everyday??!!??? one could only dream :)

Happy Birthday Zach!!Gosh I remember soooo well when you were just pregnant with him! Crazy how fast time flies. I hope all is well with you and your cute family. Thanks for always leaving cute comments on my posts! Sure miss you guys!

ohhh i was going to ask/comment esp. since you had mentioned stephmodo's blog. are you a little disheartened lately by the more popular design/creative blogs just being posts linking to a bunch of stuff or other sites?. as cool as it may all be, i go to their blogs for creativity not to link up to a million other things. anywho, just wondering. it has kinda turned me off to bloggyland lately. i'll have to say that stephmodo is one of the few that dosen't do too many posts with a slew of links.
