It's Fun to Be One!!





The boys' Luau party was a real hoot. I think I sat down once for about 5 minutes during the entire party, but it seemed like everyone had ball. Several people offered congratulations on my organizational skills because everything seemed to come off without a hitch, but here's the skinny -- the air conditioning was broken from the night before until about 30 minutes before the party. We had to store the babies' cakes in the basement to keep the icing from melting off. ALSO, my dessert bombed and I had to order a last minute cake from Publix the day before the party. The order got lost resulting in the cake having to be hand-delivered about 45 minutes into the party. Sam and Tom turned out to be allergic to food coloring and had to be given Benedryl and put to bed shortly after the cake and presents portion of the proceedings. And my niece's child stripped completely naked and declared she was getting in the pool. But it was such a mad house with kids and grown-ups stacked like cord-wood that apparently no one noticed any of this stuff in the general chaos of the day. A sure sign of a successful party!!

That is too funny (niece, stripping, pool)! You know Phil had to completely bypass this blog entry b/c of the food on kids! The decorations look great and the boys look so sweet in their matching outfits!
