Recap of Adam's Birthday Party

Well, even though I really wasn't feeling my best I think the adrenaline kept me going yesterday. The theme was pirate and I mentioned that my "real" pirate couldn't come and I found a lady to bring her miniature
horse. The day was beautiful- first time in 6 years that it was nice on his birthday! It all worked out great. Summer and I went all out and dressed up like pirates and Adam wore his pirate hat, patch, and sword. Ali even wore a skull shirt. We decorated the house with pirate theme stuff. I had to order a lot online because there is not much here to chose from. At one point we had 20 kids, between brothers and sisters staying. We played a game and the kids got to ride "peanut" the miniature pony. Summer and her friends did face painting and tattoos, we had a treasure hunt and pinata, pizza and cake. So much fun! I got these cute paper treasure boxes filled with pirate stuff and hid them around our yard for the kids to find. We had friends who stayed to help which was so nice. I think everyone had fun- I know I did! It was a bit crazy when everyone came inside to eat and open presents- we had some gum get stuck in the carpet (I got it out yesterday). I said that I wanted to have a big party for Adam at least once at our house- you gotto at least once! After all these years of doing big parties for Summer and her friends Adam finally got his turn. All the friends he invited came. We were all exhausted at the end of the day and today I have been sleeping and basically laying around. Summer made breakfast this morning for everyone and Ali is making dinner. So nice. Thanks God for blessing him with a wonderful day! I wanted to post some pics but I don't feel comfortable posting pictures of the all the kids.
