My not-so-little boy turned six on Saturday. We watched the video of when he was born, and it's hard to believe that little baby is the boisterous, crazy kid that now lives in my house! We had the annual birthday party, with the rented tent and picnic tables. And of course we had the pool and slip-n-slide set up.
I was so worried about the weather, but it turned out not to be a bad day. Not much sunshine, but it didn't rain. The wind was gusty and blew some plates (and their contents) off tables, and both balloons that were tied up snapped off and floated off into the cosmos.
Xander had a great time, of course. Lots of kids to play with, and he got a lot of great presents. Joe and I helped him pay for the Ninetendo DS that he's been pining for (he saved up good boy bucks and birthday money). We gave it to him Saturday morning and he said "This is the best day of my life!"
This year there was no clear theme to the party. So we had a Spiderman table cloth, a Garfield balloon, and a Lego cake with a pirate theme because Xander has been watching the Pirates of the Carribean movies. A lot. I did a jello cake this year, just because I love them. And there was none left!
So, between the great BBQ (thanks, Joe!), the fun presents, the family and friends, it was a great birthday. And I was exhausted!! We all just spent Sunday lazing around the house and taking turns playing Xander's DS. Thank goodness the next party is a full year away!

As always, sounds like a great time was had by all. That poor face of his! Can't believe he's going to be in 1st grade already. Scary. Love ya! M.
