What a beautiful day! We celebrated JediBoy’s 5th birthday with a big party at the park. His friends came and waged battles with him, using the inflatable swords and morning stars and attacking and defending the playground climber as a castle. They dug in the sand pit, rode on the carousel, splashed in the wading pool. We had pizza and cake and presents, and his two main groups of friends - his playgroup buddies from way back when (the moms met in LLL in the summer and fall of 2002) and his newer homeschooling friends - got to meet & play together, and Grandma and Grandpa were there to watch. Uncle Jer made a splendid suit of chain mail - shiny fabric stitched onto a large grey t-shirt with the center of a white t-shirt as a tabard surcote. He suffered a few painful blows, enough to make him declare “This party’s over!” but not enough to make him actually want to go home. As we settled into the van for the drive home, he sighed This was a beautiful day.
