It was really hot and humid here on Friday.  But then, on Saturday morning as Tim and I chatted up the folks setting up the party bounce house, I realized how nice it was out.  The Outdoor Party Gods (meaning the big man Himself) smiled down on us and granted us THE. PERFECT. weather for a mid-May shin-dig.  Or dino-dig.  Whichever.  

There was a last minute homemade birthday banner for the back porch. (these ideas come to me LATE at night or EARLY in the morning. It’s the only time I have to think!)
As well as the aforementioned bounce house.
And yes, a dino-dig…. or in this case a “grab out of the sand”.  Hey, the kids were happy so it was all good.

And there was made from scratch, no substitutions 6 sticks of butter total Dinosaur cake.  Yeah, it was GOOOOOOD.  (I could have totally used more Os in that “Good.”)


Oh and Tim made some rockin’ barbeque ribs and chicken.  No pics.  We ate it too fast. 😉


G was most exited about the cake and blew out his candle like a champ but in the end, all he wanted was his ice cream cup.  Go fig.

And thanks to everyone for the awesome pressies – he had to play with every single one before he went to bed Saturday night and…

…wear this wonderfully cute shirt that one of my sweet friends made for him, all day today, on his actual birthday.

Today we took the birthday boy our for lunch and then an ice cream cone.  I’d say he had a pretty good weekend of celebrating.  As it should be.


Here’s to hoping four is a great year for our Little G! (who’s not so little anymore…)

Linking up to Mommy and Me Monday at Krystyn’s place.
