After lunch, we had cupcakes. Joshua really enjoyed his. And look at the table near Tabitha. Yes, she decided to decorate all by herself. Blue sugar everywhere! (Friends Grace and Jaedyn in the photo.)
The party wouldn't be complete without a mystery to solve. The Scooby pinata went missing. The plan was that Papa would take the pinata and hide in the garage. Uncle Dustin laid out the clues while the kids decorated the cupcakes. There was pinata fringe, footprints, and empty candy wrappers. The kids each got a magnifying glass. Joshua is at the bottom of the photo.
Joshua is off finding the clues. We had to slow him down so his friends could catch up. It was funny because I never told him what to do. He knew all those things were clues to a mystery.
Our house was so full that I wasn't able to see him find the pinata. But I did hear Papa. He said the classic line from Scooby-Doo, "I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids." Well, he was pretty close.
After the party I asked Joshua what his favorite part was, and he said it was the mystery. Yea! I'm glad he had a great time.
In between his party and birthday, Joshua would switch his age on us. When it was convenient, he was three. Such as having to change his own clothes or put on his own shoes. And when it was convenient , he was four. Such as doing arts and crafts whenever he chose. Smart creature!
On his actual birthday, Josue had to go to work so I took Joshua to Jumpy Gym. He really had a great time. It's hard to take pictures in mid-air.
Gigi caught up with us, so we went to lunch.
When Daddy came home, we went to Dairy Queen. It was 30 degrees out but Joshua still wanted the ice cream. Daddy is having to warm him up.
I can't believe he is now 4! He knows he is 5 next year, and he'll tell you he is going to school.
