Colin turned 8 years old yesterday! The only thing that could have made
his birthday party any cooler was if he were turning 11 on 11-11-11, but
he was happy with 8! He had 9 friends over, which with our 3, made an
even dozen crazy small boys. We had silly string and whipped cream
fights, multi-sport combat in the backyard with games of badminton,
football, soccer and baseball going on simultaneously, 11 completely
non-nutritious snacks and a huge 11 cake with LOTS of frosting! The boys
were actually all great, but unbelievably LOUD!!
 |
| One of the many sporting events going on at once. |
 |
| I guess I should get used to a houseful of boys! |
 |
| At one point or another during the party, I saw Harry Potter, Batman and a cowboy make an appearance. |
 |
| Only eight candles on the eleven cake |
 |
| Lots of 11-11-11 wishing going on. |
 |
| Silly string! |
 |
| Even the little guy got in on it! |
 |
| Then the whipped cream came out! |
 |
| I am so glad I thought to buy disposable rain ponchos. |
 |
| Messy and delicious! |
 |
| Getting creamed in not a bad thing in this game. |
Some chose to eat more than battle.
