Steven finally had his "friend" birthday party this weekend. April was way too busy, and with him not 100% and having the surgery, we all thought it best to just wait a few weeks.
Steven wanted a simple sleepover, which is EXACTLY what he got. It was weird as I am so used to doing themed parties with matching everything including games, craft, etc., but I was so not into it for some reason. His theme was space, so I did have some games in my back pocket should the need arise, but really, they just enjoyed playing together. Party was 5:30p - 10a and they played the whole time (ok, there was some sleep). They played outside in the muddy yard for about 2 hours just enjoying the trampoline, rope swing, tire swing and trails. All of the 2nd graders were pretty muddy (and some wet) by about 7:30 so we decided to just bring them in to dress in pj's and chill the rest of the night (campfire cancelled). They played air hockey and fooseball in the basement for awhile. Then we had cake and ice cream on the deck, gifts, then they all settled in for a movie. We had some DVD troubles and they decided to just play (one kid had already fallen asleep). They played until 10:30, then we called lights out. They all slept in the dining room and playroom. No problems except talking until about 12:15 when we heard noise and Tim snuck down to see one kid (LOL - him Mom reads the blog!) jumping over the sleeping kids, chasing the cats. Too funny! They were quiet until 7 am when Kendyl woke up, as did the boys.
Andrew wanted to give tractor rides!
Hanging out, waiting for the movie in the playroom.
After a pancake breakfast (red pancakes!) they got dressed and headed outside for a silly string fight. I got some great action shots.
Happy Birthday Steven - for the last time this year!
