We had Elijah’s birthday party today. It was supposed to be at the park, but as of 3 am, when the rain and thunder woke me up, we decided to have it at the house instead. After rushing around to board Beau for the day, hanging up signs at the park letting people know where to go, and suddenly having to decorate the house…the fun began. Kids who were here last year somehow remembered the play room and headed straight there. Ethan and Luca (with just a little help from their dad) built E’s “Krusty Krab” lego building, which is pretty impressive.
After lunch, they headed outside, where it was dry enough for them to give our play set a good safety test (yes, it can handle 4 kids swinging, one on the slide, and another in the “house”). The only scary part was when Ella got a bit too close to Evil Knievel on the swing (a.k.a. Alex). The sting piñata wasn’t as fun as we hoped, as it was opened on the second pull. Actually, none of the kids complained, but then they were the ones showered with candy.
After the kiddies left, Cristina and Ronnie stayed to play the Wii. E beat the both of them at tennis (yeah, that’s right, one on two and he won) and then Carole and Cristina kept their streak unbroken by soundly beating Han and Ronnie at the Wii version of Cranium...twice.
Finally, E would like to give special thanks to Cristina for her “Gator” finger, as it’s proven a very useful tool around the house.
