On Your 9th Birthday

I had a LOT planned!

Everything Outside

It would be your very first SleepOver

I was nervous, excited, ready for my impending night of non-sleeping.

You could hardly STAND to wait for Saturday to come.

The boys were to come at 3pm for WATER WARS

Capture the flag watergun style

Then we'd play

badmitton

basketball

ladderball

maybe even slip-N-slide

HOWEVER

weather had a different opinion of how the day would go.

Serious threats of tornodos surrounded us

Everyone was nervous considering what happened last year.

The boys eventually came but, not til 5:30

We DID manage a few games of Capture The Flag (minus the water guns)

You guys LOVED it

You Strategized

And made Secret Sneak Attacks

And took your Flag Guarding

VERY seriously

But it got dark quick and we had to retreat.

Ohhhh Mother Nature

Why do you test me so!?

Many MANY video games were played

You wrestled and fought and made faces on silly stinky boys make

Cake & Pizza were consumed

and so was

HELIUM!

Yep, and I think I actualy started that one.

WHOOPS sorry parents.

They all began busting the balloons and talking like cartoon versions of themselves.

I made an attempt to corral the boys for a fun game of

CHARADES

But it didn't go so well.

I think you guys finally drifted off around

2 AM

We gave out water guns, blow pops and

SILLY BANDZ

For party favors

Wake time was somewhere between 5 & 7.

I can't be too sure exactly

I was a tad tired.

BUT YOU

had a blast!

And so did your friends!

Can I jus say how awesome these kids are!

Yes, they're rowdy at times

But they're also kind and respectful and encouraging to others

We Survived! Your First Sleepover!!

Love you Buddy

Happy Nine Years of Life
