it was so hot mommy was melting, but the kids played soccer for 3 hours. A little hosing off every now and again and they were good to go. Amazing that I sent the invitations out 9 days before the party and didn't do a stitch of planning until the day before the party and it all turned out ok. I've done enough of these to have the logistics all set and Dave is the consummate kid entertainer. He played soccer and dragged kids under the hoses for hours and hours. After, he retreated to the basement to watch World Cup, I took the kids to Toy Story 3 and Natasha fell asleep at 7:20pm. Alex stayed up until almost 10. Alex is really lucky that his cousins come to most of his birthday parties, making the day extra special.
Adorable Eric. The only kid who seemed to really respond to the heat poorly. I'm surprised it wasn't more of them.
Here come the cakes! One cake Natasha and mommy made and the other was brought in for reinforcement...both quickly demolished.
Whose birthday is this anyway???
Cake with beets in it...not bad...
