Happy 6th Birthday Thomas!

Thomas had a delightfully simple 6th Birthday party.  He invited 5 friends, all of whom were much lower key than our 3 children.  It was a Hawaiian themed party, and though we didn't go all out by making Pina Colada with tiny umbrellas, or fill the house with little Tiki Men, we DID make a "Pin the Lava on the Volcano" game, which was enhanced with two large black lights and florescent orange lava cut-outs.  Parker did most of the work - great job Parker.  Funny thing, I was bored to death by the "Lava Joe Says" game, but as soon as we turned out the lights and lit up the lava, I was a 6-year-old again at a party.  It was 'totally cool!'  I took the picture of myself with the kids in the background soon after that game.  Can you see how happy I was feeling?  Maybe even a little too happy?  Can you see Parker trying to give me the bunny ears?  I DID take video of the kids at the party, but I doubt I will take the time to upload any of them - so take a look at the background of the picture that I'm in if you want to see any of them.  They are there!  You just can't tell who the heck they are!  You can also tell that I don't have much Irish spirit for a McDermott, as I seem to be the only one not wearing green!
