Noah's birthday party in "The Ring of Fire"

Noah turns 6 tomorrow! I can't hardly believe he's a third of the way to 18.  When I talk about him, I still have a picture of a toddler in my mind.  Then when I look at him he looks so much...bigger than a 6 year old.  His momma is having a tough time this week with his birthday on Tuesday and his kindergarten graduation on Thursday.

Last Friday night we had his birthday party.  He had his 5 best buds over for a sleep over.  The party was a 'black belt' party with the kids completing 6 'Trials of the Animal Spirits' in the 'Ring of Fire.' By ring of fire, we mean the trampoline surrounded by tiki torches. The boys were into it and solemn when they were given their Warrior Headband.

The boys slept well but who wouldn't after 5 hours of hard playing.  Donuts were on the menu the next morning and all I can say is I'm glad we don't have 6 boys.  I'm not sure we could afford to feed them.
