The Big Birthday

This year Pk's birthday kind of sucked. We were all sick with the flu, so he got to open his presents in the morning and then we all went back to bed. Happy Birthday PK!!

But the week before he had a birthday party with some of his friends. We decided to take them to a corn maze where we wouldn't have to do a lot of work. But we didn't think about how much work it was going to be trying to keep track of nine boys running around a corn maze!
Here are the boys before we went on a trick or treat hay ride. On the ride they threw handfuls and handfuls of candy at the kids. I managed to catch A LOT and I didn't share it with any of them! They tried to get it from me, but when it comes to my candy, BACK OFF!

On the ride. They were still searching for any candy that was left hidden in the hay. (It was in my pocket)!

Tan going down the slide. The slide was so close to picnic tables that when they got to the bottom of the slide they ran into people and almost knocked them down. That's when you walk away and pretend you don't know the kid.


Pk's turn!




After the corn maze we came back to the house to open the presents. Pk got a lot of soccer and basketballs. That just shows you how well his friends know him!




Cute little man! It's sad for me to think that my little baby isn't one anymore. He is an eight year old energetic, lively, hyper, sweet ,opinionated, loud, determined boy! And we still love him!!!! Happy Birthday PK!

What a cutie and fun idea for a birthday party. That is totally my kind a party. He looks so grown up, are we seriously old enough to have kids eight?

I'm sorry you were all sick on his birthday. But he's a lucky kid to have a mom who plans parties in advance! You have a great family, Shell. And you are doing a great job!

PS How nice that my boy has his mouth open and tongue out in the pic! ha ha ha.
