The PARTY!!

Jordan's 10th birthday party started out with all eight boys playing football out in front of the yard until it finally got dark enough and cold enough to come in for some pizza.

He had two cousins, Alex and Campbell,one friend from our old house Jaden, and 4 friends from our neighborhood here, Geovani, Brennan, Brady, and Stephen. They all came for games movies and a sleep over...(Ya, I don't know what I was thinkin')

They LOVED the whoopi cushions and flarp and the rest of night was filled with obscene noises and laughing! (Some of the noises unfortunately were real).


I planned for a few games but Jordan kept telling me he just wanted me to let them do what they want... I did get them to play blindfold pictionary...

And they had a bowling tournament on the Wii...

And they had cake and ice cream and opened presents...
I was very careful to add the right amount of candles to Jordan's homemade (very plain) birthday cake and after he blew them out one of his friends said, "Hey Jordan, I didn't know you were only 8!" I can't believe I thought he was only 8! Ooops!
Well the over load of sugar lead to massive wrestling matches...

Which lead to sock wars, which the boys absolutely LOVED!!!



Alex was the ultimate sock champion!!

The 'THREE AMIGOS' I couldn't get them to behave...


The wrestling lead to other macho boy things...

They ended up going to bed around 11 and put on a movie. I has just starting falling asleep at about 12:30 when Jordan came running in my room and yelling, "Mom Brady has a bead stuck up his nose!" Now Brady has NEVER had a sleep over before and his mom entrusted him to us so I was very nervous! I ran downstairs and after a lot of pushing and blowing, he got the bead out... Oh man! I just envisioned calling his mom in the middle of the night and a visit to the emergency room! Whew! We were lucky! So after scolding the boys and making sure all beads were out of reach... I made them go to bed. Needless to say at 2:30am it was finally quite. In the morning we had a delicious breakfast and they boys played. They all had a blast!!
