Birthday Parties

A few observations from Jack's birthday weekend:

1) The same group of children produced twice as much noise this year as they did last year. With age comes volume?

2) Four year olds pick strange cakes. Jack insisted on blue flowers.
3) A balloon popping is terrifying to people under the age of 3 and over the age of 7. Anywhere in the middle and it's hysterical. I don't have pictures of this, so you'll have to trust me - or try it for yourself. We have half a pack of birthday balloons that seem especially well suited to this challenge, if you want to borrow them.

4) Family members from out of town (Grandmommy, Grandpa, Uncle Ry Ry, etc.) are infinitely more fun than your own boring parents.
5) Blowing things up is fun for all ages. And brothers have to dress alike.
6) Hats are funny. Walking with hats is even funnier.

I can verify the theory about volume multiplying with age.

Last night we had 14 - FOURTEEN - kids in the house plus four adults. Kids ranged from 2 to 16.

If anyone needs me, I'll be over here in the corner of the couch with a pillow or seven over my head.
