Saturday Party

Saturday was a crazy but fun day! Believe it or not, we made it though our 5 year old's birthday party. The sun came out and it warmed up outside and all 9 kiddos (ranging from 9 weeks to 5 years old) all enjoyed themselves.

Friday night, my husband's brother, sister-in-law, niece, mom, and dad all spent the night. We had fun going our separate ways and all ended back at our place for the night.

Saturday morning, I woke up early and started baking. Made 2 cakes, the imfomous chocolate with chocolate frosting and m&ms on top and a crumb cake (for those who couldn't handle that much chocolate). Then, off to the store (forgot a few things). I did get home before more family arrived. We invited them and a few friends for lunch of grilled hamburgers and hotdogs, etc. So, when I got home, I went straight to work making potato salad. I remembered the hamburger and after 45 minutes of trying to thaw out the very frozen hamburger, I found out that the hamburger was not going to thaw, so off to the store again. Soon as we had the hamburger patties made and my husband took them to the grill, he came in and said that he was out of gas for the grill. So, off to the store he went. We finally ate and all finished about the time the party started. So, kiddos headed outside and played.

They played on the swingset.

And rode in the wagon.

And fell over laughing.

Played in the sandbox. Then into the house, for a bit of birthday cake fun.
