birthdays galore

jack was invited to another b-day party today and was pretty funny. it was at a beautiful park so the kids had a great time running around on the grass (a rare commodity in vegas) and playing on the playground. then came time for the "organized" games. keep in mind there were about 10 kids between the ages of 2 and 4.

so "red rover" was first. jack couldn't handle it. no matter which side was doing the calling and who was actually called, jack would run every time. once he got to the other side he said "tickle, tickle!" and tickled everyone's arms...like their forearms. are your forearms ticklish? don't know where that came from.

"red light, green light" was next. i tried to explain that when geoff said "red light!", he had to stop running. not possible. every time, jack was sent back to the line because he just ran all the way. who cares? he was having so much fun.

then we played "duck, duck, goose". so everyone sat in a circle (which looked more like a figure 8 by the time everyone sat) and the first goose was selected. once again, jack couldn't sit still. no matter who was the goose, he'd follow them and pat everyone's head and say "jack, jack, jack..." "jack" sounds like "duck", right? then when the real "goose" was patted, he'd run around like crazy, screaming his girl scream.

THEN it was time for the pinata. they had a bat to swing at the pinata...don't need to say anymore.

it was a great time. thanks, aleena and aria!
