Below are some photos from Matthew;s 5th Star Wars birthday last Saturday.  

In between lots of free play we did some painting and made bouncy balls at the party. 

Lunch time.

Chips and pizza for lunch - very organic. 

Various groups of party kids taking a break from playing to eat some lunch. 

Some friends lounging at lunch.

Cake time!

The wacking of a pinata. 

The blowing out of the candles. Surrounded by friends and Lily of course. 

The liberals would love this one. Boys and weapons! 

Matthew showing off the Darth Vader costume his Grandpa sent him. 

Laura was in top form at the party. Here she is in Welly boots and beads. 

Saturday. Another wonderful day spent at Wildwood Ranch. Laura goes exploring barefoot. 

It is cooler today, high 80's. Perfect for being outdoors... so we got some planting in the yard done (well... Mark and Matthew did some work, I watched, Lily talked and Laura played).

The boys working in the dirt together! 

The girls playing with the water hose. 

Matthew giving Blue Bear and Lily a hug.
