So my son just turned 7 years old this last Friday. We are not the family who gives their kids a bigger-and-better birthday party each year. We try to do something different each year, but every 3-4 years, we’ll do the big party thing. This was that year. We began with a list of 7 kids and ended up with 14, six and seven year olds. Insane, I know. But between the water guns, the inflatable punching bag, our tree fort, a pirate ship craft, hot dogs, cake, games, a pin’ata, the hurt feelings, grass stains, random shouts of anger, dog piles (yes, both kinds), tears (both the male and female variety), presents, tons of laughter, and more energy than a small thermonuclear device, we managed to fill an entire two hours. Our house and backyard were destroyed, but our son has a memory…and he BETTER remember it for a long, long time.
P.S. Does anyone have a good remedy for blazing headaches? I am hoping mine goes away before our next party in 2011.
