This 'N That

Building a tower, runway model-style

Photo caption contest! My submission: "...And that was the last day his mother ever touched him."

This petting zoo birthday party was a lot like Hell Week at Tep, only with less Papa John's.  Here, Henry lets a chicken go for a ride on a goat's back.  It was a short ride.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Courtside with Grandpa.  With Carolina blue ice cream, natch.

The girl does have a sense of humor...

Doodle!

Henry's fifth birthday party was a blast, thanks in large part to Doodle the Clown.  She wowed the crowd with her magic, face-painting, balloon animal-making, water-squirting, rabbit-out-of-a-box-pulling, and very loud background music...

Are you not entertained?!

Doodle really takes face painting to a whole new level.

Ethan and Henry as Batman and Spiderman

Our neighbors, Jacqueline and Dianna

Nat...

...Two-Face (Luigi)...

...Emmy...

 ...and the rest!

Will the real Spiderman please stand up?

Not every face got painted. (Note to self: locate checkbook.)

The old snake-out-of-a-can-of-peanuts trick gets 'em every time.

Capping the party off with ice cream cake! (It was actually capped off with a search for the seemingly thousands of foil chocolate wrappers left in every corner of our house, but for purposes of this blog entry...ice cream cake!)
