Bailey's birthday party

We had it a bit early due to Thanksgiving, his 10th birthday is on the 26th (Thanksgiving Day) But it was alot of fun, it just amazes me how far these kids have come since I met them 5 years ago. It was interesting to watch thier mannerisms now that they are older and into so much more - phones, music, each other!!!!! Anyway I won't get all sappy, but it is hard for me to realize that Bailey is 10 (almost). 10 years ago we brought him home in his Vikings outfit, laid him on the bed and looked at each other and said "what do we do with him now?" Ok I admit sometimes we still dont know what to do with him, but I think we have done a pretty good job raising him, he is a pretty good kid!

So as far as I know they all had a blast and I stayed with them the entire time just in case they know about the game spin the bottle or any of those other games Rodney played when he was that age!! LOL I asked Bailey if I cramped his style by hanging out with them and he said no!

The kids played a Wii bowling tournament and the boys beat the girls by a few points, played guitar hero. We had pizza, they attempted to watch a movie, but the boys were too busy chatting, snickering and laughing it didnt last long- poor girls wanted to watch it!! Then came the pillow fight until one of my pillows busted open, then that was over. We then had cake and after that they turned up the music and danced around like crazy drunk people!! The girls went home around 8 and the boys spent the night, and the boys stayed up until Rodney finally sent them bed at 2:30, hopefully they werent too crabby for their parents the next day!! I do have to say though that they boys were so much louder than the girls were, they must of all been hyped up on sugar because they were so loud and of course all showing off when the girls were there!

Hey two of those girls are my neighbors!! The blonde Megan lives right next door and the curly hair cutey lives down the road just a bit- but I see them a lot. Megan and her twin sister are such nice girls- I don't know the other girl really- just see her a lot. Small world... looks like a fun party!
