Would you believe that this sweet young thing is now five years old/young !!!! Well not really until 6 more days, but her birthday party will be today at her favorite jumping, bouncing sliding place. Her papa said there will be 18 giggling, screaming little girls at the party, but thankfully they supervise all the activities and provide the pizza and cake. When my youngest was little, Chuck E Cheeses was the place where so many celebrated, though I have to admit that I really didn't like it there and always had his party here at home. Course it was in June, the weather was usually nice and they could be outside. January is a whole different story.
Finding another gift so soon after Christmas hasn't been easy as she has a mountainous supply of multicolored plastic. And to think how as kids we treasured the "key" from a sardine can or the endless pleasure we got from the old oyster crates that washed up on the beach. You have no idea what can be done with a bunch of old wooden boxes once they've been taken apart and the nails pounded straight with just the right rock. Many a beach house was built by my sisters, cousins and me and all for free !!! I think we were the lucky ones.
