Will's 9th Birthday Party!

Will's 9th birthday has been a blast! It started this week on Tuesday the 16th with a new bike, a new football, a new Gameboy DS game and new clothes. Will was Star Student this week in his class which comes with priveledges such as filling the estimation jar (with 277 candy corn, thank you very much) and getting to have lunch with his teacher.

We had a spend the night party last night to top off the week! It's Will's first sleepover to host ever and he's been fit to be tied. We had 7 boys over for the local rivalry football game between Oswego East Wolves and the Oswego Panthers. Meg and the cheerleaders went up into their stunts and sang "Happy Birthday" to Will in between quarters. It was so cute! Will's friends were QUITE impressed that the cheerleaders were singing to him. Too bad he's not in high school!

However, it was COLD, WINDY and DRIZZLY. The boys were more interested in playing tackle this, that and the other during the game, so we cut our losses and went home to play the Wii and watch Return of the Jedi. I called lights out and quiet at 12:30; Jack heard them as late as 2:10am and Will says he and a few others made it to 3am.

They were out playing flag football by 8:15 this morning (and that was 45 minutes after they TRIED to go out). And considering they had been up since 5:30am, that was mid-day for them! We had a big breakfast of pancakes, eggs and bacon, a few more Wii games and football--and now my house is destroyed but quiet! It was a great time with great boys, who, even if they were rough and tumble, were easier than girls :-)



Now Meg's off to cheer camp, we have a laser tag birthday party at noon and a soccer game at 5! No rest for the weary today...but there is one happy birthday boy as a result and that makes it worth it.
