Eric's Birthday weekend was last weekend and it was full filled and packed full of adventures!! His b-day was on Friday, he took treats to school for his class. In the evening, he opened his presents from us and we went out to eat at Z-Place. Saturday, both boys had a football game in the a.m.. In the p.m., he had a slumber party. We started out with 7 boys staying the night, by the middle of the party we had about 17 kids here, including our kids. Luckily it was nice out, so most of the party they played outside. We had cake,they broke a pinata, we ordered pizza for supper. Yes, sugar, sugar, & more sugar!! Thank goodness one of our friends stayed and helped. Once night fell, we went out tee peeing about 9p.m. We asked parents if they minded and all of them said "no". I was kind of shocked, because these kids are 8-10 yr. old.
We explained we were hitting only people we knew. One of the houses was one of the boys who was at the party. We are friends with his mom and we knew she wouldn't care. The neighbor let us borrow her van. We took 2 vans & an SUV . By the time we went tee peeing, we had 13 kids ranging from 6-10 yrs old and 6 teenagers with 4 adults. It was hilarious, the first stop we parked at the park, because the Paytons live across the street from the park. We get everyone out of the cars and there are a couple of cars coming down the street. Ray tells the kids to hit the deck, it's the cops and all these kids with rolls of toilet paper fall to the ground. They get across the street in another parking lot and another car comes by, the kids hit the ground in the parking lot. It was so funny, like nobody was going to see 20 people lying on the ground. The bottom picture was taken at the parking lot with the boys lying on the ground. When I first saw that picture in my Kodak gallery, I about lost it, I couldn't stop laughing!!
After we left the Paytons house, we went to buy more toilet paper and headed out to the country to do Lane's house. We all know him and knew he wouldn't be mad. It was nice because he was at work and it was in the country with lots of trees!!The group picture is at Lane's house, we hit him hard. There were cars coming past his house, so the kids would hit the ground out there. Yes, and Ray had the kids put toilet paper around their heads, so they could be tee pee warriors. Nothing like warping kids at an early age!! We were all laughing hard during Lanes house. After all the excitement, the boys didn't go to sleep in till about 1 a.m. Only 8 boys spent the night, which wasn't bad.
I had to take this picture of Trevor because he is trying to watch Eric open presents and the only way he could watch is by standing on the couch. It was crowded otherwise. We had one little girl at the party, her and her brother came over and we invited them to stay for the slumber party. She's Trevor age and they get along. By the end of the night, she decided to go home. Luckily they live right across the street. She was exhausted after all the adventures and it was past her usual bedtime. Her mom said she didn't think she would stay, she was surprised she made it through tee peeing.
Sunday was an adventure in its own. The best part is I had to go to work at 8a.m., so I got to leave before all the boys woke up. Honestly, overall all the kids did good, no major fights or problems erupted. They were all very good and well-behaved for their ages. Sunday night Eric, Trev, and I went on a bike ride. We got 2 streets away from the house and Eric fall onto landscaping brick. Trevor & I was lagging behind, so when I seen Eric fall, I hurried up to help him. He turned around to come toward me and as soon as he did I knew instantly we were going to the Hospital. It didn't really gush blood, it was dripping so I had Trevor take off his shirt to give to Eric to stop the bleeding. I didn't know what to do since we were on bikes. We ended up leaving Erics bike at the house were he fall (the guy was nice enough to let us) because I couldn't get ahold of Ray. We walked down to Grandpas house, so he could drive us to our house. He was such a sport, he didn't really cry. Only when he fall and then when they numb the area. We were at the hospital for 4 hrs. Over an hour was spent in the lobby waiting for a room to open up. I felt so bad for Eric, we kept a paper towel on his cut, but you could tell he was hurting. He just sat and waited. he tried laying on me a while. The doctor decided to X-ray his chin, because it was bruising up and Eric complained it hurt, after they numbed it. The doctor wanted to make sure he didn't fracture his jaw. The x-rays were all clear, thank the lord. So by the time we got home, it was midnight. We stopped and got his bike on the way home, he was worried somebody would steal it. Monday, Trevor and I walked down to grandpas and got the other bikes.
Hopefully this weekend is more calm with no adventures. I'm not sure if I can handle two wild weekends in a row.
