{stay tuned}

I have a feeling the boys that came to Noah's BD party last night.....may

never forget it.  For good reasons & not-so-good reasons.

I have LOTS of pictures to blackmail them with through the years.

Senior year was mentioned a time or two.  Or, three.

Tons of laughs, one man down {BLESS HIS HEART}, a houseful

of super-awesome kids that I am VERY proud and

thankful are a part of our life; we adore their parents

just as much. I do think I inhaled one too many fumes

from the massive amount of silly string, but other than

that, I made it through the night unscathed.   And, despite the event

of the night I wish would have just passed right by without stopping, 

I did get one on JC.  And, oh, happy day that little moment was!!

I think he was pretty much cringing.  I'm sure of it.  Definitely

more on that later.  hehehehehehe!

The house is almost back in order.  A few things to dry out still. ;) 

A little man, the birthday man, is sound asleep on the couch and has

been for hours.  Aviator glasses and all.   

I'm still finding silly string in my hair, carpet, shoes, etc. 

Not a lot of leftovers thankfully; these boys have become

big eaters.  :)   At one point about 8 of them were piled

on a couch.  They were on the arms, the backs - completely

squeezed in laughing their little heads off over funny youtube

 videos.   I freeze-framed that moment.  Most of them have

been together since they were around 4, if not before.  Our time is

definitely fleeting with them, but I can't let myself dwell on that; 

I am so looking forward to the years to come with these little guys. 

And, I'm planning my own counter-attack to the silly string fiasco

for next year.  Boys beware!!!! :)
