Okay here's a great shot to do with kids of all ages, even babies, peek-a-boo in the curtains. There's something cute about the height of the curtains and the smiles you get from the game of it that works well. The natural light of the window is lovely. I have a ton of peek-a-boo curtain photos of my kids and it always works well. I think this is a great photo for an older child too. Just let them play and snap away. Give it a try.
The garbage can on the head shot? As long as it's relatively clean. This one was not my idea. Little S likes to bang on her head and face with a stick when she puts this on and she loves it,-- my chic, little garbage can not so much.
We finally made Little S's invitations for his fifth birthday party next week. Am I stressed about having ten kids over with the house so disorganized. Nahhhh.
Hey does anyone have any party games ideas for five year olds besides the usual,--pin the tail, musical chairs etc. ? I'm looking for something a little different or forgotten and I'm too lazy to dig through Martha Stewart archives.

quelle adorable petite fille...on dirait une poupee!
I have good memories of a birthday party "game" for kids that involved hanging a sheet across a door, and then letting each child "go fish" for a party favor. You need the help of someone who crouches behind the sheet and puts the gift on the big cardboard hook each time.
Another is "spider web", a first game, in which you wrap yarn all over and around the furniture in a room like a big tangled spider web, and the children wind the yarn up in a ball, finally reaching their prize at the end. This is a good way to occupy children while they wait for all of the other guests to arrive, you can make some strings shorter for kids that arrive late.
I think the main thing is to make sure to have games where everybody gets at least a consolation prize.
yveline - oui et c'est une poupee qui sais faire des betises ;)
Lucy - cute ideas. I like the spider web one. I was trying to think of how to keep it pc and make sure they all got a prize!
