Today we attended our neighbor, Elizabeth's 4th birthday party. This wasn't your average birthday party- it was a concert party! Bobs and LoLo were the musical guests and they also provided crafty fun too. The kids started out making star fish name tags as well as jellyfish/octopus shakers. After that they danced, sang and twirled their little butts off while Bobs and LoLo sang all the songs the kids love so much. I have to admit, i was probably singing louder than they were most of the time ::blush::. It will be a party that is impossible to top. As Laurie (my other neighbor) and i discussed, we may as well give up throwing birthday parties all-together, there will never be a show like this one on Creekside drive.
Thanks to Suzanne for organizing such a fun time for the kids (and all of us adults too!!) I can't wait to see what you come up with next year!
If you haven't read about Bobs and Lolo on my blog before- you really should check them out their website is full of crafts and music and fun things. They have a single CD at the moment and it is the ONLY children's music i will allow in my vehicle. I have even listened to it with no children in my vehicle! Seriously, they are great.
Anyway- i took many pictures but my battery was dieing so they are mostly out of focus. Poo. I can guarantee that Suz will have many pictures posted on her blog if not her flickr site. I didn't even get one of the birthday girl, how bad is that???
I should hit the sack, I drank too much coffee today and I'm completely not ready to sleep yet. But I must try. I'll catch up with you later,

Hi Jen - we're not stalking you! I noticed all the hits on our website that originated from your blog (we get a weekly stat report on mondays), and I thought I'd see where all the interest was coming from! You must have a few friends around the world - I think your posting tripled our international 'hits'!

Thanks Bobs and Lolo!!
I don't know how you found my blog but I'm glad you did. You are too welcome. I don't know who was more excited about your visit, Paige or myself :0) I nearly rushed the stage and grabbed a mic during your performance!!
It was great.

Thanks for the kind comments about our music! We had a great time with all the kids. It was definitely our most energetic & enthusiastic "dance party" to date...due in large part to Paige & Elizabeth;)
