#321 'Cause life continues right or wrong when I play this birthday song (jakes party!!)

2008.04.03
yum-o cake mix!

preparing the icecream cone cupcakes...

sissy helping decorate!

getting the room ready!

Jake picked the menu:
chickfila nuggets, goldfish, white cheddar popcorn, peanuts, and M

it rained outside, so we made do......

Jake, sissy, and jakes girlfriend anna wiley!!!

see they did not leave each others side...

Jakes face during happy birthday

the chaos, madness, fun, happiness, wonderful time!!!

nuf said....

opening gifts after everyone left (I think it is hard while kids are there.... all the kids want the toys and to open them...)
dora stuff... horray!

three cheers for books!!!!
(jake is sleeping with his new books as I type!)

the aftermath...
sissy thinking what happened, this was fun?
blue thinking: thank goodness... peace and quiet!

me thinking: Its five oclock somewhere, right???
(seriously I had this after I put the kids down and felt NO guilt)

What a day it has been.... all of jake's classmates showed up.... so we had 8 2-3 year olds... 2 14 month olds, and 1 newborn, and 9 grownups!! We had a BLAST!! (but I am pooped!)
super song! listen.
If I could say the things I feel, it wouldn't be the same
Some things are not spoken of, some things have no name
Though the words come hard to me, I'll say them just for you
For this is something rare for me this feeling is so new

You see I love the way you love me
I love the way you smile at me
I love the way we live this life we're in

Long ago I heard the song that lovers sing to me
And through the days with each new phrase I hummed that melody
And all along I loved the song but I never learned it through
But since the day you came along, I've saved it just for you

I don't believe in magic but I do believe in you
And when you say you believe in me
there's so much magic I can do

Now you see me now you don't watch me dive below
Deep down in your love lake where the sweet fish come and go
And I might sink and I might drown but death don't mean a thing
'Cause life continues right or wrong when I play this birthday song
I learned from you, and you can't even sing

-Don McLean "Birthday Song"

#3 This picture is priceless.
#5 Great menu choices.
#7 Jake's "girlfriend" looks like a little lady:)
#9 He looks so humbled....or is that embarrassed? Great perspective!
#13 I love that he sleeps with his books? That's a tribute to you:)

That's great you had a Plan b" for the rain:)

You did a wonderful job!
