Luke's Birthday Party

I have only been home a day & a half, with little or no sleep. Last year I had Fear Factor Parties for the boys and they were a great hit. So, Luke comes in and wakes me up on Saturday morning and looked at me with those big brown eyes and said "Mom, I have an idea". So, his little brain had worked overtime and he had all 4 of the Fear Factor activities planned. There were only 4 kids total this year compared to 12 last year, so it was easy. The kids enjoyed it.

How many carrots can you bob for and transfer to another bowl in 20 seconds. This is Spencer and he won with 23.

How long can you stand in a bucket of ice. There was a tie between Spencer and Luke for 1minute and 27 seconds.

Then you had to suck all of the juice out of a lemon. Last year a couple of kids wouldn't even do this one but all of the boys tried it.

Water balloon toss.


"Enjoy being a kid"

The last activity was a relay race where you had to use a cup and fill a bottle with water, then run up on the deck and eat 10 nilla wafers, then rummage through the goop, pictured above, and find a nickel, dime and quarter, then clean off your hands run to the fence and back. I really think they loved this goop.

We then went to Tomaso's for pizza...yum!!!

After pizza Brian took Luke and his 3 buddies to the Kernels baseball game and I took Connor and his friend Jack home. They had a great time at the Kernels game. They saw fireworks and even were able to play on the field afterwards, forever. They did not get home until 11:30. I was sound asleep by this time...I did not hear a peep...I guess they were up til 2a.m.
