The Big Party

So...today was Connor's big birthday party. It is best described as slighly organized chaos. Not quite what I had planned, but exactly what you get with a yard full of 5 year old boys and girls. Connor enjoyed it...and that's all that matters. (I, on the other hand, was a bit overwhelmed). I'd like to say that I have great pictures to remember the day...but....there was too much going on to remember to take pictures. Hopefully some kind friends will share theres.

The best part of the day was being with all the people who cared enough to come and share some fun. Two of Connor's teachers even came. He was thrilled. I especially appreciated all the other moms and dads who helped us. (note to self....next time, make sure someone is there whose sole job is chasing Saywer!).

A few cute Connor-isms. Before the party is was a bit breezy and the balloons were blowing everywhere and getting tangled. So, Connor told us he was going to talk to God and ask him to stop the wind. He prayed out loud...then paused and waited. He fully expected the wind to stop...yet, he was disappointed that it didn't.

Also, at one point Lindsey asked Connor to sit with him or be on the same team as him....at which point Connor looked at her and said...thank you Lindsey, that was so sweet of you to ask! Too much....
