Never Again!

 I will never, ever throw a party like this again, and I am very glad that it is over.  So enjoy the pictures from the one time in my life as a mother that I put some massive energy into a birthday party :)
 This "cake" is supposed to be two light sabers...we had three trials (relays) for them to become true jedi's...
 These are the 500 boys that took every opportunity to fight with their light sabers possible, there was more than a little crying going on!
 That is me, without my hair done and having had an earring fall out :), Oh and the adorable and 6! year old birthday boy.  He was pretty stoked.
 I made the boys and token girl, (she's a twin kind of a package deal) these "Jedi" robes and the oversized light sabers out of pool noodles...thank you internet for being more creative than I could ever hope to be.
I realized that although I should love all of God's children, a LOT of the 6 year old ones are violent little whiner babies.  I will still try to love them.  Maybe.
I'm so glad that Brody had fun and that for a millisecond I was a really cool mom.  I think I'll go yell at my kids now, just to make sure things are back to normal.

 Avery really is allergic to EVERYTHING green and oats, as weird as that is.  This test was miserable, I do not recommend it for 7 year olds!
 Another random 7:30 in the morning, Brody picture.  He is special :)
 The kids did skiing lessons this season at the Canyons and LOVED it...I was so excited for them.  (Except Gracie who's mind has been corrupted by her father and did boarding)
 Little timid Avery did the very best and even skipped a level, maybe I've found something for her to enjoy!
I have been frantic trying to create a cool Jedi Training Camp for Brody's birthday party this week, it is pressure!
That's the haps, with the Wattersons!

Anyone?

Does anyone want this thing?  I HATE it!  I always thought I was an animal person...Nope.
