Feuwf. Kate's 6th birthday art party - it wasn't easy but we did it! And by we, I mean my awesome team of unwitting volunteers: Donna, Candace and Cody. this afternoon we played host to thirteen little people full of personality, energy and creativity. For two and a half hours, we, sort of lead them through our six art stations, and we, sort of made some beautiful pieces. Kate was thrilled with the activity and having all her friends with her. The 13 kids jumped off every one of our walls so I think they had a great time too.
Kate I love you and I want you to remember this birthday bash because it just might be our last. With that said Aunty Candace reminded me that I've said that before. Perhaps birthday parties are like pregnancies, you need a full year to recover and you then you really do forget the pain.
I've included a pile of pictures today because there was a pile of activity. Enjoy!

Kate and I re-doing the Picasso a little more to our liking.
You know when people go to galleries and remark "My five year old could do that." Well, Jackson Pollock move over (in your grave), these kids really are giving you a run for your money.
Can you spot the real Pollock?
Thanks again Grammie and Aunty and of course Papa! I really and truly could not have done this without you and with that said, promise I never will!
XO Aimee
