Ogre Pinata. Finally!

Bryan (and Oscar) worked super hard on this Ogre pinata for Oscar's birthday. It was a lot of work, and took a lot of time. BUT it was really inexpensive to do, and they had so much fun creating it, painting it, and then destroying it. This may just become a birthday tradition...maybe.

I love this shot of Oscar the artist.
Such a typical concentrated face for him.

My family and Bryan's Mom joined us in our front yard for the pinata smashing, and ogre cake devouring. Then as dusk hit we lit off some fireworks in the street. It was one of those extremely pleasant, verging on magical summer evenings. Not many things in life beat a warm and soft sunny eve, having fun with people you love. We must do this again.

Before the boys went to bed that night, we did our annual birthday height measuring on the pantry door. 5 years old and just over 44 inches tall.

We love you our Oscar-bot.
