the 27 hour party



If you count licking the frosting off of a whisk as the start of the celebration then the party was much longer than that.

Day 1 :: There was fire, food and a rare picture of me...



No, no, they were not dancing the Y-M-C-A.

Most of the nighttime photos didn't come out clear so I'll move on to the next day...

That is Snow on the pink bike with no more training wheels
and that is Maku in the pink shoes trying to keep up -- which was what he did all day.

Just look at him here.

It rained and no one seemed to notice but me. My sister was back in the house preparing lunch while the children went about the business of styling their wet hair like that of George Washington. Maku tried to style his short curly hair too; keeping up with the bigger kids was hard work...

...and this little boy was so determined he didnt give up until he bled. He had cuts on his little fingers too.

Oh, apart from the cut toes and fingers! Not so much fun to be covered in cuts!
