I saw the idea to use chalk and make it look like dinosaur footprints leading up to the door, and Greg helped the kids make templates to trace and color on the sidewalk. I had envisioned one set of footprints, but when you have four kids who all want to do it, you end up with a herd. The kids loved doing it. They made big dinosaur feet and little dinosaur feet. They really enjoy birthday party prep (well, not the cleaning part but the decorating and planning parts). Kari and Joel helped me a lot with Grant's party preparations. They drew and painted the pin-the-tail on the Grantosaurus and helped me fill and make room in the freezer for all the containers of fossils in ice. I made a to-do list, and they completed a lot of the tasks themselves.
He went to breakfast with Grandpa on his actual birthday. I had to take Kari to camp that morning, so Grant got an extended birthday breakfast. Here's a link to the video Grandpa put together of their outing.
Grant is a cute little bundle of 4-year-old energy. He keeps us on our toes and keeps us laughing. He gives good hugs and loves kisses. Keeping up with his big brother and sisters is one of his main goals in life. He wears me out, and he even wears himself out. We put together a slideshow to have running on our TV during his party, and I found so many photos of him asleep in odd places. He goes until he just can't go anymore, then conks out. Sure do love our littlest man.
