My sweet Caleb boy turned four yesterday. Since this is likely the last birthday in Kansas City, and his golden birthday, we wanted to make it special. We decided on a Noah's Ark themed party. The following captions will explain the party.
We had a thunderstorm CD playing and the boys got excited pre-party and were looking in their Bibles at the story of Noah.
We picked up some moving boxes and there was a giant one we wouldn't have used, but that box, plus a few flat pieces came in handy for the creation of an Ark.
I am sporting the baby and explaining the game. They had to all find the 'food' aka peanuts-in-shell for the Ark. Whoever found the most peanuts won a prize.
Levi, Isaiah, and Ayanna hunting for food.
Birthday boy found a few.
Lewis found a dinosaur. That doesn't count.
Counting peanuts. Levi won with 20.
"Wow, this many little kids at your house is loud and crazy!"
They had a craft - making animal ear headbands. You know, because it's a Noah's Ark party and the ark needs some animals.
A "donkey". Perhaps he's grazing.
Then it was story time - of course the story of Noah.
All animals into the Ark, almost. I think everyone is showing - it's the best one of the bunch.

Dan drew a dragonfly (for the boys) and a butterfly (for the girls) for the kids to lay down and get pictures. It worked okay.

They had brownies!
Just for some cutie too. Smile!
