Bubble wand

 Birthday today.  Theo got to practice his new vocabulary word.  Spectacular location... mountain top overlooking acres of beautiful forest overshadowed by a cloud hidden Mt. Meru.  Best bouncy castle experience ever!!  They also had a cool 'mountain' climbing rope for the kids that most did barefoot after taking off their shoes for the bouncy castle.  After that poor Kaia went running through a patch of thorns.  A cupcake did wonders and she has recovered just fine.

 Speaking of cupcakes.  They made a cute Lego cake accompanied by a pile of primary colored cupcakes.  Theo chose blue.  Incidentally with all the birthdays recently Theo can also say 'cake'.  This is the before shot. 

And after :) 

Kaia-ism:

Kaia had a bottle of bubbles at the party and a mother told her that it was so windy that she could probably  hold out the bubble wand in the breeze and the wind would make the bubbles blow.  She misunderstood and went out to the open area and threw out all the bubble soap from the jar into the air.  She was very disappointed to see it all fall to the ground in a big puddle.

She then got in a fight with Pray because he accused her of wasting the bubbles and did not understand when she explained what she was trying to do.  20 minutes of tears later (whilst noticing that I was far from the only parent in the same situation) I decided that after school on a Friday is an awful time for a 4 year old's birthday party.
