A Hula, A Hula, A Hula, A Hula

See ya 7...Hello there 8!!

We celebrated Heaven's 8th Birthday today with Hula Party at Nana's house. A wonderful time was had by all. While the ladies mastered the hula, the gentlemen preferred to skip this activity and stick with the pool & slip-n-slide.

We had Hula Cake, Beach Cupcakes, Sundaes & Shark Fin Punch to snack on. While on a sugar high, the kiddos went on treasure hunt to locate the hidden pinata stolen by the evil pirate...AKA Papa. I was concerned the kids would have a hard time finding the clues, but it actually turned out to be the highlight of the party and when we were done several kids ask if we could hide something else so they could find it.When the pinata would not give the goods to the kiddos, we resulted to just ripping it apart. This method did not result in any complaints from the candy seekers.

Heaven got some awesome gifts and is going to start learning to ride WITHOUT training wheels next weekend!! No respectable 8 year old rides around on training wheels. Everyone knows that.

Blow'n out the candles!

We have found the treasure. I repeat, we have FOUND THE TREASURE.

Forget it. Just rip it open.

Survival.

5 Boys > 2 Parents Sanity I'm not sure how it happened exactly...but after several days of recuperation, it appears we have survived the boy filled weekend. It was loud, it was messy at times, and it was most definitely chaotic...but overall...I'd say it was a fairly successful weekend for Gavin's big 1-1. Friday night he had 4 friends spend the night & though I had a mini stroke over a legitimate offer to spray paint part of our outside storage area, the boys had a blast. Gavin is really hung up on Guthrie's right now so we started the evening out with Guthrie's for dinner & then John, begin the brave (insane) loaded all the boys up and took them to see Ice Age. They returned home with plenty of energy to burn & spent the rest of the evening playing outside and having video game battles. Thanks to my saint of sister who kept the girls, it was a boys only zone, and was undoubtably outnumbered. The next morning, though they were up VERY late,...

The girls had their church Christmas Program this weekend. They performed at both morning services and were equally amazing each time around! They've been practicing for the mast few months, and all their hard work most definitely paid off.
