And if Dirk ends up wearing a faceful of marshmallow...well, not too much giggling at that.

Filled with giggles and sugar, Connor makes sure that everyone gets marshmallows (whether they asked for them or not) .

Sylvi accepts her marshmallow with gratitude, and in fact waxes briefly poetic about the mastery involved in producing a marshmallow of such precise deliciousness.

"Truly... " Gerd nods trying to keep a straight face

Songs are sung (The dogs join in)

But eventually, as the sky gets darker, Kerri does remind everybody that even Connors need a good night's sleep. Also, it's a school night for everybody else.

After the party closes up and Connor is getting ready for bed, he taps at Sylvi's door, teeth brushed and jammies on.

Sylvi answers. "Hey. Did you have a good Connor Day?"

He beams sleepily up at her, and reaches in to give her a quick hug. "It was the best Connor day I've had all year. And that's saying a lot because every day is Connor Day when you're a Connor, just not everyone is that lucky most of the time." He's still wearing that necklace. "I wanted to let you know that I'll talk to Gerd, and let her know that your bedroom is a No Man's Land for hide and seek. And If I ever decide to grow up then I might be a man, so that means I should probably ask before coming it. I can't promise, because Gerd is stubborn, but we'll try to remember."

"I'm sure you'll both do your best." She gives him another squeeze hug. "Have good Dreams, Connor."

"Oh, I will. You too. And I hope that your party is as good as mine." He yawns hugely. "Night!" And pads off to bed.

"Ahhhh...she almost stops him, but then just waves him off to bed....and hopes for the best.
