celebrating four

thank you for all the happy birthday wishes the other day. we had a wonderful day, just the family and will be continuing the celebration over the weekend with family and friends. or maybe next weekend, as we are expecting heavy rain and thunderstorms this weekend, and we really want to have the party in the garden.

four years. amazing. everybody says it the fun age. so i am looking forward to a double-up happy hour (or year, who's counting?) in this house.

i decorated our living room with garlands made out of their old paintings. not all, of course, but i have a bunch of paintings, very colorful. honestly, with the speed they produce paintings i must admit i don't feel a need to save them all. at all. especially since they usually seem indifferent to the finished product - it's the process that matters to them, the having fun. so, i cut them up and folded triangles, attached them to green cotton yarn, and voila! pretty and colorful garlands filled our living room. they are still there - we still have some celebration to do - but i am not sure if i will take them down just yet anyway. i really like them. and this is anyway our fun year, right?
