Wow, I have 3 words, WHAT A DAY!!! Saturday, o rainy, muddy Saturday, the one day my kids wanted to sleep late, and I was up by 6. At 9:30 I finally woke Tara up. Me + Mandi + two 1 year olds + a "quick" trip to Abilene for the cake and groceries + pouring down rain = torture great fun! :) The only thing that would have made it better was if we had taken all 5 boys too!
Fast forward about 3 hours - party starts in an hour and a half, 40 minutes to get home, load stuff up, stop at the dollar store and grocery store for everything we forgot, 15 minutes to the party place, now it's 1:45. Party starts at 2.....WE ARE ON TOP OF THINGS!!! Now to get "decorating". Or as much decorating as you can do in a really old barn. 236 pictures to hang from clothespins, yeah, we'll pretend those all got hung up.
People started showing up, so enough with the pictures. The rest of them can go on the table to be looked through if anyone is interested.
Now for the cakes. Aren't they lovely? Yeah, they didn't quite turn out the way they were supposed to, but o well, everyone still ate some!
"What is going on?"
"Sure, we'll take some of that!"
"Really Mom???"
"Mmmmm"
Look at all those boys, these girls don't have a chance!
She would have eaten the whole thing if I would have let her!
Now for presents.
Now the fun begins. Remember all those little boys? Remember all that rain? Now we have mud! Fun!! Yes, we gave up on the cute dresses and trying to keep them clean.
I guess it tastes pretty good too. Tara wouldn't stop trying to eat it.
Ty and Sam trying out the hula hoops
Nasty, nasty kids! And we had to let them in our cars to get them home.....Let's just say there were lots of trash bags involved in getting my 4 (including their dad) home!
Now for a little break to repair Ira's pants...
Guess he called in for reinforcements
And a quick trip up the pole to catch a football.....
And now we have 2 very sleep little girls!
Kamryn sure does love her Tara!
I'm not sure Tara feels the same way.
This is only a few of them.
Overall it was a great day, but I am so glad it's over!!! I guess it's not a bad thing to get a little muddy every now and then, but next year, I'd prefer it without the mud and nasty children!
