Congrats!! The first one is the hardest, but don't slack off!

Alrighty then... so while we picture g'nad running and throwing up, I think I will go get gussied up. Maybe there will be a good redneck at the tavern (with good shoulder blades) who has the truck I need to pull the horse trailer and likes hobbits.

That's OK, us sweltering Floridians need to give each other a hand, so we can stay cool in the August heat.

Well, the party was a roaring Roaring success! One of the ladies showed up with three siblings that I didn't know about and didn't invite, but since I expected 11 and prepared for 16, I had more than enough for everyone!

Each mom stayed and my dad and my husband monitored the children while they were in the play area. We moms sat around visiting while the kids played. After an hour of play, we ate the hotdogs. Then more play. Then cake and presents opened. Then more play!

We had enough for everyone to have 2 hotdogs each with chili and cheese and other condiments, baked beans, chips, a piece of cake, and each kid got a goody bag.

Matthew got lots of Star Wars stuff and an Aragorn action figure! His cake was chocolate with a stenciled Star Wars logo on it. Very nice and I believe he's the happiest child in the world right now.

I, on the other hand...am exhausted.

Well, put your feet up and read a book or watch a movie...that is if you can think of anything you'd want to read/see...

Check this out!! One of the moms at the party made this for Matthew. She took the invitation I sent them and superimposed Matthew's face (remember, from the picture with the dog?) onto where Anakin Skywalker's face was! That was his birthday card from her kids! Pretty neat, huh?

Let me know if this isn't visible...

That is a great card!

My son read "The Hobbit" at the end of school (5th grade) and had to do a "basket report" - that is where they take a basket and fill it with things that are related to the story......try finding things that are related to The Hobbit........lol

Well after he had done his project, we started seeing some Hobbit related items...... NOW they come out......lol

Happy birthday to your son!

Hi there Texasgirl, haven't seen you in these parts before. Would you like to be on either the Hobbit Hole, or the master Tokien ping lists, or both?

It'd be nice to have her! She's here because I not only pinged you guys to see Matthew's birthday card, but my homeschool ping list as well! May see a couple or three new faces around for this reason.
