Son's birthday was yesterday. Happy Birthday, 5 year old!! How did we celebrate? First I made a cake for him to take to school with him (he's doing Parent's Day Out over the Summer, and LOVES it!!). Spider Man was the choice for the school cake. Then he needed a different one for his family "home" birthday cake. Batman was the preferred superhero for that cake. Mix in presents, Husband and I spending the morning filming a segment to show at church, building a backyard obstacle course, 200 water balloons, and a trip to fetch pizza for dinner in a crazy storm, and you've got a pretty full day.
Today is Son's birthday party day. We started by being at the pediatrician by 8:00am for his check-up and immunizations. A rude way to start the day, I must say. Follow that with a flurry of quick trips in and out of a couple stores, home to set up the previously mentioned obstacle course, and cleaning-up the backyard and you will approach lunch. I now have just over 2 hours before a dozen 5-ish year old will descend upon my house, rapidly followed by a trip to Montgomery to fetch my parents who will be here for 10 days. I am still needing to fold laundry, dust, clean the bathrooms, steam the floors, and clean the kitchen. Yesterday is sounding pretty good right about now.
Now, I need to go finish the Transformers cake for the party.

You are such a great mom. Who bakes three cakes for their kid? You are awesome, my dear! Have a wonderful time with your folks!
Mercy! Sounds like you'll need a whole year to recover from this. Does Daughter have parties at this age yet? P.S. I hope you piled the laundry on your bed and closed the door, and wet a paper towel and quickly ran it over the bathroom counters. With so many 5 year olds, I'm guessing cleaning bathrooms might be more in order *after* they leave, anyway.
You survived - the house looked great- We had a wonderful time and can't wait to come back!!
Mom
