Simon's chameleon festivities




"Fling the chameleon's tongue on the dragonfly"



I'm a little bit proud of these sculpey guys.
Lesson learned: A chameleon is easier to form than say, a horse, which would have to be sleek.
Just a mottled lump with a curly tail.
But they can hang on a necklace.



Happy Birthday Simon!!!
Great-grandma Boone's lemon chiffon cake with blue layers.



The inspiration for the blue and yellow stripes.
And the whole party, really. Stripey, himself.
Look for him again at Halloween.



And thanks Grandmas, Nanas and Great-Grandmas--the cards all made it here in time!

Thanks to all the great friends who made it a great day, if you're out there somewhere reading this!

Best part of the party? Simon.

And his idea to park his 13 friends in front of the BBC Life segment on chameleons during his party. Providing ten people their first exposure to David Attenborough? Priceless.
His dad thinks it was so cool that Darwin himself would have come.

Having been exposed to your artistic skills in the past, I was still astonished at their true genius! Way to go Mom!

Madam, does this mean that Simon's on Webkinz now? What's his screen name? He and Nathan can be Webkinz friends... :)

You are a master, truly. And what gets me JUST as much as your artistic genius is that you have the energy... the WILLPOWER to make it happen. You be awesome.

We totally understand... we think of David Attenborough as a personal friend in our home as well. Very cool Simon.
