Party Rockers in the House

Frankie is (almost) 6! 

We celebrated Phineas and Ferb style. Which was what he wanted because of the Mylar balloon that he saw at the grocery store a few months ago. I don't think I ever got a decent picture of the balloon. It was cute, I promise.

We had a low-key party by Frankie standards, the week before his birthday. Because on his actual birthday we are going to be in Disneyland! Can't beat that. Kennadi and Connor wanted a picture with the cake and balloons too.

Frankie asked for Phineas and Ferb characters on his cake, and he wanted them to be building something. Jeremy had to visit not one but two Disney stores when he was in Northern Utah the weekend before to find the figures. What a Dad. Then it was my turn, and it wasn't going too well. I had made the smaller layer but it was so misshapen all I could do was laugh at it. And I had no idea what I was going to have them build. Sometimes when creating stuff for my kid I have happy little moments of inspiration, and luckily that happened. I thought of Frankie's Trio blocks, and the misshapen layer became a rocket. Frankie liked it, and that's all that matters.

Partying away:

Frankie was so obediently cheesing it with his gifts for Tayden. It was great.

A "Bug Guide" has been Frankie's heartfelt wish for months now. I'm not positive I ended up getting him the best one, but it's identified a few bugs already.

General Revelry. Oh, check out the newish ottoman that I scored at Kohls for $38. And it has storage. 

Singing the song:

Sending wishes to wish land:

I had a mis-communication with Laurie about the time of the party, so they missed the main events but we still partied with them after they got there.

Laurie gave Frankie binoculars. He is in love with them. And he told Laurie they're going to have to go do some bird watching together.

Putting together his new lego ambulance with Daddy after everyone had left. I'm so glad we could have such a fun birthday party day with loved ones for our great kid.
