August Birthdays

Luke and Dylan had a sleep over party for their 7 year birthday with 15 of their friends and had such a good time. I over invited thinking that not all would show and they all came! It was a bit crazy but so fun to see the lids have such a good time together. We did an army cake, shot the bow and arrow, hit a football pinata, made pictures and ironed them onto shirts, and slept in the tents in the backyard. We had a girl tent and a boy tent. I didn't realize the boy/girl thing would be such a big deal. They were at each other all night. And between a bloody nose at midnight and a couple coming in and out to the bathroom and deciding to sleep inside, I think we had them all out by 1:30AM. We enjoyed chocolate chip pancakes together in the morning and we shipped them out. Thanks Gramma and Dadddy Joe for all your help. They got to witness all the chaos of 15 kids at our house for the night. I think they got alot of laughs out of the whole thing.
