Birthday!

I love birthdays!  Don't you remember the excitement of your birthday as a kid?  Being one year older.  More options and opportunities open before you. 

January is a month of birthdays in this house.  Isaak at the beginning of the month and Avery this weekend.  Today we brought home 4 extra boys for a sleepover.  Brings our total to 7 stinky boy bodies. 

What do 10 and 12 year old boys do for a sleepover?  Well, tonight we watched the final matches of Isaak and his friend's wrestling tourney, picked up pizza, the boys went out to sled and snowmachine (in -8 degree weather and the dark, crazy boys), and now at 11:00 everyone has plugged into some type of device and they are zoning.  My only concern, they all stink.  Did you know that boys stink?  They do.  They smell like frito chips mixed with something that is starting to rot.  I think I am going to send them to their rooms to stew for the evening and then suffer the consequences in the morning when I have more energy. 
Hopefully the house will air out while we are bowling tomorrow. 

To those of you who are smart enough to hold your child's party away from your home, I salute you.  Smart choice. 
Till tomorrow....
