Roustabouts are roustabout'n

Any excuse to use Elvis, here you see one of my favorite roustabouts helping to get the party started - Harry taking gifts into Griffin's bouncing party

Somehow I didn't get many pix that weren't complete blurs, a sure sign that
It was a lot of fun!
Thanx for the great goodies :-)
Happy Birthday, Griffin! Welcome to the 4's!

And it was another two-a-day for our guys, not a bad problem to have, eh? Their girl, Caroline (of the naming HarryJack fame!), celebrated her 6th birthday with a Carnival-themed party. Her mom knocked herself out coming up with fun games and deco - here are some highlights:
Jack pins-the-nose-on-the-clown
Harry and Jack walking the 'tight rope'

There were three stages: simply walking, walking while balancing a beanbag on their head, and then doing it after 'the spin'

Caroline and her cheering squad playing the penny toss game

(basically an excuse for lots and lots of candy!)

Jack, Tim, and Harry waiting their turns

Dean and Harry cheering on the festivities

Harry loves him some popcorn, and watching this old-fashioned machine work its magic was a great science-y time!

And if you remember the cookie cutter gender post, here's an 'official' shield...you were all right!

And the roustabout'n continues as Jack helps round up all the bags and paper and bows after the big unwrapping fest - great job, helpful boy!

It was such a joy for me to watch them picking special gifts for Caroline -

they spent quite a while picking out just the perfect bear, puzzle, heart globe, game and craft for her, and it was fun to see how excited they were (tho Harry got shy at the actual giving). Thanx so much for letting us celebrate with you, Caroline!

Welcome to the 6's!
