One last thing!

We realized after everyone had left that we forgot to smash the pinata! So Jason hung it on the back deck and let a dog-tired little Noah go for it. He hit it for about 5 minutes with his bat, and nothing! Luckily, it was also a pull-string pinata, so Noah started pulling ribbons. He pulled the ribbons, one by one, and wouldn't ya know it---the very last ribbon was the one that opened the trap door! It was hilarious! We let Noah eat candy until he couldn't eat candy anymore. He was laying in the kitchen floor, playing with his new firetruck, in a sugar daze when we were finally done cleaning. It was 11:30pm and he swore he wasn't sleepy, but somehow he fell asleep 30 seconds after his head hit the pillow anyway!
