Noah's 5th birthday

for noah's birthday we went bowling

and had a blast

this is noah's just-got-a-strike pose

 proud mommy of a 5 year old

 after bowling we offered to do whatever he wanted

but he just wanted to go home

i'm glad he likes home so much

so we picked up lunch and a few things for his party

and went home to get things ready

here are some pics of the decor

 noah wanted a thomas the train party

so i played off the fact that thomas is his middle name

and the theme was Noah Thomas (the train)  is 5

 here are hazel and olive sporting the hats i made

 and little thomas appliques on their shirts

 we cleared everything except the dresser out of olive's room

and made a train room

so kids could play with trains and watch thomas

we're really glad we set this up, it really helped

having a separate place for kids to be 

in our small apartment

 we had some pizza

 a pinata, opened presents

and sang to the birthday boy

it was such a fun day

and i was glad we went all out

 to celebrate noah's 5th birthday
