I Wish for Fish


J's 6th birthday party was a very fishy event.

First, the kids went "fishing." I had planned for everyone to catch Swedish Fish on a clothespin; however, John had other big ideas. They also caught pine cones, ski goggles, the bad pig mask...

Then they made fish prints. Luckily, neighbor Brian, an elementary school teacher, was hanging out with his daughter. He saw me struggling to maintain order around the fish print table, and he went into teacher mode and got everyone lined up and organized. If it hadn't been for the help of neighbors Caryn and Brian, we would STILL be making fish prints. Thank goodness for good neighbors!

After the fish prints came the shark cake and opening lots of presents.

I think everyone had a good time.
