Yes I have pictures

I have yet to post pictures of Tyler's party. I am terrible but at least I take responsibility for my faults. I will post them soon. The party was great. All of his invited school and church friends showed up. Tyler had a blast. I still can't believe he is 6. Everything went well except the pinata. The pinata could have been deadly but thank goodness it wasn't. This is what happen... When it was pinata time, all the kids gathered around in excitement. They couldn't wait for the whole pinata to break and drop all the candy. OH NO, whenever ONE piece of candy would drop ALL the kids would go after it. So the kid whaking the pinata (and clueless of what's going on around him) was still attacking the pinata, not stopping when the others came charging for the one piece of candy. You can imagine the chaos. There were a few near misses on kids heads but by a small miracle no one got hurt. I think I owe some credit to my smart hubby who thought ahead and had the kids use a soft bat instead of a broom stick. Ugh, could you imagine getting hit by a broom stick. I'm glad all the kids escaped safely and had fun.

Tyler's Pinata

My second son is turning 6 tomorrow. I can't believe how quickly time has gone by. What really gets me is my oldest will be 8 this year and will be baptized . Wow!!! I wonder when the heck I grew up and became the mother that I am.(?!!?)

Anyhow, back to my original thought...so Tyler is turning six and he wanted a pinata. Truth is he always wants a pinata, what boy would pass up whacking a beautifully decorated piece of cardboard to smithereens but this year he is especially excited. He is completely aware of the whole birthday party, friends coming over to play, cake and ice cream, presents, and being the center of attention. He whole heartedly deserves his day and I am happy to give it to him. So tomorrow, on his big day, per his request we are having a party for him with a pinata. For FHE Chris thought it would be fun to fill the pinata with candy. The kids we happy to help. We love you kiddo! Happy Birthday.
