Paul went through emotional highs and lows in the planning of this year's birthday party. Coker tried to convince Paul he should invite two or three friends to a fun activity. My older son loves his friends and loves to be surrounded by his friends. Two or three would not cut it.
What can we do for this monster party? Paul is indecisive. He may get that from me, or maybe from someone else. He could not choose an acceptable venue. Playing Skylanders with 20 kids upstairs at our house is not a good plan.
Finally, I sent out an evite to my choice of 8 friends from his list for a pool party. Of course he talked me into inviting more, but the girls couldn't make it, which was good for the girls.
His friends were asked to "bomb the birthday boy" with water grenades.
Once in the pool, it reminded me of a scene from Titanic.
TJ tells Reese to save himself while Colby climbs up on a wooden door.
Paul sprays Alec in the face. Not in the face! How many times did I say that?
Paul and Noah fight over the sprayer while Zachariah stays out of the way.
For snack time, Coker brought out the popcorn!
Cake time!
Does his wish come true?
No one died at the party, which was my biggest fear. We did have two injuries, but they were minor. It was a tough two hours for me, but I think Paul enjoyed it!
