Birthday Party Highlights


Please sing this in your head as you read: It's the most...hor-ri-ble time...of the year....

I have two words for you: research papers. Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!! Run away while you can before I try to accost you with my red pen!

I really do enjoy my job, but I wish my job did not include grading over one hundred eleventh grade research papers. It takes forever. I have often thought of the old teacher joke of throwing them down the stairs; the ones that fall to the bottom get Fs and the ones that land on the highest steps are awarded As. Unfortunately, I have a conscience. Drat!

Anyway, here are some pictures from the boys' birthday party last month. They had a wonderful day with very generous friends and family.

Even Eric and I had a great time because we didn't have to clean anything up afterwards. (And I even ignored the pizza and cake who were trying to call my name as well. Yay, me!)

That was a great party you have. The kids really enjoyed it and make used the every moment of the party. That looks really fun.

I especially liked all the "boys'" expressions in the bowling pics! That was a great birthday place. I was wishing that I was 6 yrs. old, too.

PS: I totally remember writing my 11th grade research paper. It was not a happy time; I never considered all the grading my teacher did for everyone.
