Tell an eight year old that he has to wait to open his presents. Yikes. Liam's birthday is the day after Sarah's on the 13th. Of course little kids think of presents, that's what
makes birthdays so much fun. When he heard that the party was not starting until dinner at 4:00, he was a bit miffed hoping that Sarah would reconsider a birthday lunch party instead and invite people over at noon.
It did not take Liam too long Saturday morning to call his neighbor friend over. She came over right away and ended up staying about 10 hours enjoying the day with us. We had a tattoo parlor running, there were some Lego events, and something about playing post office before the guests started to arrive. The kids were having fun while Sarah and I napped. We did one of those half sleep half awake naps. I was on the recliner, Sarah on the couch. We promised to nap until 2 when I heard a clanking noise in the kitchen and told Sarah she promised we would nap until 2 and yelled that she should get back on the couch. Oops, it was not her but the kids trying to find something to drink. That was pretty funny. After fully I was
awake, I actually felt 10 times worse than before that quasi-nap. I should have just put on my walking shoes and went outside for some exercise. Guess I was just too lazy.
It was a great party. The food was delicious even though Sarah makes what I now call "Lazy Lasagna".
