Hi – YA!

Happy 5th birthday to Patrick and Luke!  We celebrated with a Ka-wah-tee Potty (or Karate Party in adult pronunciation).  We invited all of the kids from the twins’ class and a few others.  Everyone had a kickin’ good time!  Sitting very still at attention…  What’s that guy’s secret?

They played lots of games.  This one was jumping over the swinging belt.  Make sure it doesn’t hit you, Luke!  He was the last one standing in that game, and was so excited to ‘win.’

 

The obstacle course was a favorite with everyone

 

Patrick and Luke got to pound away with the instructor and his padded blocks.

The boys were presented with the great samurai sword…

with which to cut the cake!

 

They were delighted!  (apparently, so was the overly-excited instructor!)

A pre-sworded shot of the cake. 

Opening gifts went fine except that Scott and I forgot to go over present-receiving etiquette with them.  The first toy was something they already had, and they loudly announced that fact.  A few presents later, they got a book they already owned.  Patrick kept trying to give it back to his little friend that had given it to him.

Happy Birthday, Patrick and Luke!!
