This afternoon as the boys and I were picking out balloons for Scott's little bday celebration here with us tonight I thought...we should really have invited some families and friends over to have cake with us. It was 2:45 when this came to mind and we had a 3 pm basketball game to get to for Tommy. We also had plans to have our family celebration at 5:00 here and the boys were going to the HS basketball playoff game at 7- not much time to hatch my plan huh?
Sent emails and texts from Tommy's basketball game to a few families from church that we are good friends with asking if after the DMCS game they would stop over for cake and ice cream , called another couple of good friends from sports and church stuff. And within 30 minutes had people coming but had no cake, ice cream or anything else. Left the game ran to Costco picked up all the needed items. Raced home for the 5 pm family celebration....which was a hit. Sent Scott off to the game with older boys acted like I wanted a night in....then as soon as they were gone...Jack and I were working like madmen. And voila we had a party ready by 8:00 pm.
Here are a few pics from our family party...and later the surprise one. I think Scott knows he is very loved. The kids all laughed at the ALL of the candles. One of our friends' sons even said it felt like he was sitting at a campfire and it was keeping him warm. :) cute. Jack was MOST concerned that the smoke alarm was going to go off...
I do believe, my dear, you are getting the hang of this blog thing.
