My little one had her 5th birthday party at the house last year and I kinda of swore I wouldn’t do a party at the house, like ever again.  6 months later big sister begged to have a pj party so that had to be done at the house and there I was again with 20 screaming girls, this time, IN the house.

Months later and the little one is insistent she wants another party at the house, this time, a wet party…water balloon, water guns, pools, sprinklers and what not.  Since it’s been brutally hot on her bday Memorial Day weekend for the past several years I figure we’ll give it a go.  For the past several years, that is, this year, where on Saturday May 25, her birthday when I was to have 20 6 year olds over for “sprinkler fun” it was 53 degrees outside and pouring!!!  Go figure!  I begged the little one to consider, a familiar standby, Chuck E Cheese party that day instead.  She said no to the party but could we please go hang for a little?

So we did, just the family.  But first we had our number 6 Dunkin tie dye donuts.

Then while it poured we went to Chuck E.  We went bowling next and finally with what’s becoming our family tradition we had her Hibatchi birthday meal. The next day we had another Communion which was a great time.

Memorial Day arrived and the sun was glorious.  It was the postponed party day and though we were down 7 children, it really turned out to be a spectacular party.

That night we went to  BBQ at my husband’s golf club which was divine.

It was an outstanding weekend and I am still basking in the post kid party success!  Off the hook now until double whammy of my twins in November…:)

How was your Memorial Day? Did you have crazy bad weather too?
