Cal's Monster Party

Here are a few follow-up pictures of Cal's friend party on Thursday night. It was a lot of fun, and we were glad to have the excuse to have the Larsons, and Lintons, and the Hoovers over. The kids started out making little monster bag puppets:
Then we went downstairs to read a book about monsters and set a monster trap, which happened to be on top of a huge lawn-mower box with a hole in the top...

Then we came upstairs for pizza and while we were eating we heard our monster trap go off. We went downstairs to find Vincent the Friendly Monster caught inside. (I'm kicking myself for not catching any video of Jeff's performance, but it was a success...the looks on the kids' faces were hilarious!) He said thanks for the cupcake we'd put in the trap, had heard it was someone's birthday, and suggested that we all sing happy birthday to Cal. Then we went upstairs, opened presents and had monster cupcakes. Over all, a very fun evening.

What a clever (and hilarious) idea. I wish I could have seen the looks on the kids' faces. You really know just how to make things fun!

That's adorable! Happy birthday (a little late, I'm sorry) to that darling 3 year old from all of us!
