Well, yesterday we went to our grandson's 12th birthday party. He was in trouble with his mom & at school, so his party at Sport's World got canceled, but she had a family party at home for him.
It was a very humid couple of days, so my cake wasn't quite the same by the time we got it there & opened the box. But he liked it & that is what counts. He did call me yesterday wanting me to add the words All Stars to it, but I told him that the icing was gone & there was no room to add anything to it. So he was OK with that.
His soon to be step-dad saw some silly string at the dollar store, so got a can for each of the other kids that were to be there, then he kind of tricked our grandson into going outside so that the other kids could get him with it.
They had blown up balloons to have
to decorate the house with, so after pizza, cake & ice cream
one of the kids had started bouncing a balloon around that then became
almost a game of keep away with multiple balloons & nearly
everyone participating. So everyone got some exercise from that 1
little pack of balloons.We left to come home about 6 & brought the 2 soon to be granddaughters with us to exchange with their mom. Then it was home to finish up things I needed to get done before the weekend was over, then to bed & so, on so that I could head to work today. D still had today off as his 2nd day & then he goes back to days tomorrow for 2 day shifts.
We snuck away for just a bit from the party to go see the place the wedding will be held in 2 months. There is a gazebo on the grounds of the building where the reception will be, so they are going to hold the wedding there - an evening wedding so that it won't be quite so hot. There is a bench built in to the gazebo, so those who can't stand as long - like grandparents, will be able to sit. It's a beautiful place - I should have gotten a picture of it, but had left my camera in the van.
