I've been finding it pretty tough to properly celebrate Lizzy's birthday over the years. August is always such a busy time. I think we moved the day before her birthday last year. Anyhow... we took her birthday party along to the cabin this past weekend and celebrated a week early. I don't think she minded.
Some ideas I was saving.
Did not all happen. I was finishing up the pinata the day we left for the cabin. The owl never got wings or feet. The cake never got polka dots. I don't think she minded. I said that before.

It was a rainy afternoon. So we made our bubble wands and blew bubbles on the porch.

| Hoping it holds up for a few swings. The homemade ones are always stronger than you think they will be. |
If you hate to watch children grabbing for candy... divvy it out before you put it in the pinata.
Now that we gave all of your children bags of candy, we will hype them up with cake and red dye number 9.
