Hayes turned 5 in August. A lot of his friends have had birthday party's this year so he was soo excited to have his birthday and wanted a party. My younger sister, Heather, got married on Hayes' birthday so we had to postpone his birthday until later the next week. He thought it was pretty cool that she got married on this birthday though.
Hayes requests for his birthday was a water balloon fight and a pinata. He's pretty easy to please. I tried to think of something he liked that was round so we could just make a simple pinata by Papier-mâchéing a balloon. Angry birds fit the bill. Hayes and Kamri did all the Papier-mâché and painting, I just added the facial characteristics. Now if only I had thought of them trying to hit the pig with the red bird instead of using a bat. That would have been more true to the game.
They played hit the pig with the angry bird...version of pin the tail on the donkey. Played red rover. Ran around the sprinklers, played in the pool and had the requested water balloon fight. He invited his friends from church and preschool class but he wanted to invite their younger siblings that were Kamri's age so they could join in the fun too. I didn't think about the fact that it would add up to be A LOT of kids. So chaotic is putting it nicely. I think they had fun and Hayes loved it, next time I might keep track a little better of the numbers :) Thanks to Melissa, Cyntha and Britney for sticking around and helping Bracken and me out controlling the crowd.
