Here is (I think) the entire crew in attendance for KC's birthday party. They are gathered at the table to eat mouse shaped cupcakes - it was VERY difficult to get all these kids in one place, even with food as a bribe. This was the first party (and last for a while) where we mixed five year olds (Eva's friends) and 7+ year olds (Will's friends). There is a huge developmental difference. Five year olds are still interested in listening to stories and playing in something resembling control. The older kids (boys) quickly turned the party into an indoor/outdoor pine needle battle.
