Brant celebrated his BIG 10th birthday with a sleepover party!! Boy was that an
experience!! We seriously didn't get
much sleep, but it really was a lot of
fun!! This was a bit different for me I must say! At girl sleep over's we'd...I don't know...do our hair, make-up and outfits all
funky and run around the neighborhood or something...
freeze each others bra's during the night and maybe call cute
boys and laugh and giggle. BOYS?! Well, let's just make a
Top 5 List out of it!!:
#5--They turn your hallway into a "
Pitching Practice" strip (orig founded by Marty & Brant who decided to share this with all party goers)
#4--They are unable to resist the
attraction they have with your trampoline that has springs
missing due to it's age (and from 4 years of our summer sun)! Since it's "in the
plans to be taken down anyway, Brant, Tyler & Jacob
show them how they discovered they could "help" in the cause. Three of them sit on the part of the tramp that
droops down b/c of lack of springs (kind of like a cozy little swing), while the others jump and on count of three plop to their butts and POP! There goes yet
another spring!! I know this sounds like a
dangerous and irresponsible thing for me, the mother, to let them do...but #1--I was watching them do it! and #2--I made them stop after two springs
flung into neighbors yards & the one flung completely over our house,
hitting the roof just above the bay window in the front, rolling down and falling into the
flower bed!!..I really should've gotten a picture!darn! and in all
seriousness, I am glad a window didn't break or a
kid get hit by a flying spring!
#3--The bathroom toilet!!..well, if you have experienced how bad it gets with one or two boys..just imagine six!! Nothing more to say.
#2--They Fart!!...everywhere they go, they
Fart!! I even gave one
party goer, (who shall remain annonymous for sake of
embarrassment to his mother)..uuhhhhmmmmm...ty..ler...a brand new can of air
freshener to carry around with him so the
rest of us didn't have to suffer anymore!
#1--Instead of Freezing Bra's they get
deoderant and smear it across the victims (any poor soul who might have given in to his body's need to sleep and
dozed off for any amount of time!) upper
lip!!
The kids
loved getting in the pool...all three or four
times (including around 7:30Sat morning)!! It was quite entertaining to
watch them play the contests and
games they came up with!
We ordered our
favorite pizza's with
Ranch Crust for dinner!!!
So
Zack decided to hit the
pinata so hard that he
broke the hanger off the top. That was just a little road block for these baseball players!!
They decided they wanted Marty to "
pitch" it to them...and so that's
what they did!! It actually worked so well that we
might just make that
tradition!!
While some boys practiced
Guitar Hero these three decided to make a pyramid...and yes, those two pictures that 'look like they're going to fall',
FELL!..No broken glass or frames though so it's all good!
Rissa Loved being "center of attention"!...or so she thought she was!!
Brant was so excited about all of his
gifts that he received!! He ended up with a TON of cash!..sports cards, trick balls...(baseballs) and few other things from
friends-and we got him a Ripstick...which was all he wanted from us for his
bday!! It's similar to a skate board except that each end of the board
flexes and twists with movement of your foot so it's
crazy to try and balance on! Nontheless, within a day of practice,
practice, practice! Brant had it mastered!! Now he's giving
Marty lessons!
Our thanks go out to all six boys who so earnestly contributed their creative energies in to coming up with new and inventive ways to take a trampoline apart, finish off a broken pinata and who thought of funny, sneeky things to do to those who "dared to fall asleep"!! til next time, boys, Peace Out!!
