Happy Birthday, Strong Bear!!

Recipe for Birthday Brownies:

1-mix brownies as on package (the ones with chocolate chips in the mix work  best)
2-after you pour it in the pan, Add Teddy Grahams (about one per brownie once they're cut into squares.  It doesn't have to be perfect.  Lay the bears on top but DO NOT stir them into the mix)(you could do graham crackers, but the Teddy Grahams are funner!)
3-bake brownies
4-as soon as you pull the brownies out of the oven, dump 1-2 packages of tiny colored marshmellows on top.

The marshmellows will melt into the brownies.
OR
you can stick the brownies back in the oven for 2 minutes if you want the brownies to be toasted

I was into sword fighting before it was cool.  My brother and I used to sword fight with the pool cues from grandma's pool table.  We've been getting the dollar-store swords for ages.  Sexy Haqon picked up this set from ToysRUs.  He said there were toy swords you could get there for $30!!  Oh my!!

Strong Bear loved sword fighting with his friends and cousins.  There was a balloon-jail that you were trapped in if you lost:

We almost had enough balloons to lift the "jail" entirely - it would relocate with each puff of wind.

We moved the jungle gym outside for the party (it's been in the basement all winter).  The jungle gym was so fun that we had a couple of random kids show up and it was a while before we realized no one knew them.  It was a fun way to meet more neighbors ;)

During the party, Seraph chilled inside with her Auntie and Auntie's sun glasses!
