We had fourteen of the kids show up, so it was a busy backyard, but with the pools, the bounce castle, and the food they were totally entertained. I ended up scrapping the bean bag toss and just handed the bean bags out to the kids to play with. They also loved the bouncy balls.
Jonas got some fun gifts. His favorites are definitely the Buzz Lightyear Rocket Tent from my in-laws and the train set from us. Last night we got a sitter and went out and when we came home we found Jonas fast asleep in his tent. When he woke up this morning he saw his train set and freaked out as if it were the first time he saw it! He spent at least three hours yesterday playing with it. I wonder if he thought it was just a dream?

I can see why though, those dumb paparazzi keep overexposing the kid's ears. I mean, c'mon, I'd be ticked off too.
Now for my big confession. When I woke up the morning of the party I was absolutely horrified to find a huge trail of ants marching up the side of the fridge to the platter of cupcakes. The platter wasn’t exactly crawling with them, but there were quite a few. I spent almost forty-five minutes removing the creepy crawly cupcake climbers as meticulously as I could. I really hope no one ate an ant. Needless to say, very few of my friends were informed of this.
