Dinosaur Party

So this isn't the official "Luke's 6th Birthday" post. I'll do that one this evening when I've got some more time. These are just the pathetic few shots I got at Luke's Dinosaur Party yesterday. My friend Ali took more, so hopefully, I'll be able to post them soon. Luke invited every boy in his class, a couple of boys from the other class, two girls from his class, some neighbors and a couple of EBC friends. Popular kid. We ended up with about 20 kids at the party. Add to that a very needy 4-year-old and a very clingy 1-year-old and there wasn't much time for pictures.

I thought the party went really well, though. The weather was perfect. The kids were mostly good. And Matt and I got crafty and created this awesome dino dig activity. We embedded plastic dinosaur skeletons in a mixture of sand and plaster and let the kids chisel and dig them out. It took most of the party for them to do it.

 Michael and his friend Jeremy were very serious, but the craft was pretty challenging for 4-year-olds. Much thanks to Jeremy's parents for basically excavating the dinosaurs for them!

 These are the two girls he invited, Josie and Evie. They were so cute and added some much needed spunk to the party.



Here is Luke with his special hat and birthday ribbon, washing skeletons.
