Three birthdays, Fifteen boys, One party

With my crazy schedule last year, I put off many things: dusting (still working on that), cleaning my closet, getting a new haircut. But let's not forget one very important thing I procrastinated on: giving the boys birthday parties.

Oops.

I mean, I'm a normal mom, right? Busy. Working. Trying to keep it together, but not planning birthday parties? In today's world, that seems to fall right under child abuse. Yet, here I was, in mid- August realizing that I never gave Andrew or Brendan a party, and Evan's birthday was quickly approaching.

My solution to avoiding Child Services for forgetting parties? I did a three- for - one. All boys were able to invite five friends to come over for a mega-birthday party.

And, it worked! It worked well.

We had play-doh and fun hands on activities for Ev and his pals.

We had baseball where all kids played.

We had football.

We had food. And more food.

And a football cake~!

And 15 rowdy, fun-loving, competitive, active, wild boys.


It was a blast. Truly, the day made me consider placing my mommy status on the line again this year. I may just be too busy for parties in March and June. . .
