CowFolks of The Bird House

This is the cake,
that Maria designed and
her Tutu made
for the Cowgirl and Cowboy party
that Maria has been planning, and anticipating, for two years!
These are the wranglers, rustlers, cowpokes and wee folks
who came to bounce and play
for Maria's eighth birthday celebration!
This is our full house...
our happy, ample, busy,
and bustling Bird House.

Wames Wamsen... he's a wansome man.
A real Western shootout... ten paces, turn and shoot.
How long is a pace, anyway?

Even the chicas were in on the fiesta.
Delia
We laughed and ran, and jumped, and bounced,
some of us even flipped!
It was a lively and lovely shindig.

BIG KIDS' turn...
the wee folks are locked out for a spell.
Maria wants everyone to know that she had a hoot of a good time!
And she is mighty grateful and obligin'.
We hope everyone had as much fun as we did.
Geoff and I thank our friends and family, too.
We love these times, when we can share a day with laughter,
celebrating special occasions, with an extra measure of fun.
¡Ooopa-le!
