Tristin's 10th Birthday party...

Tristin turns 10 on Wed, but we had his party tonight because it was supposed to be the best day weather wise. After inviting 25 kids, I had my work cut out for me. It was another outside BBQ, but still- 25 kids is - A LOT! There were 19 kids and 4 adults- and it was CRAZY. They had a blast with water balloons and the kiddi pool. They played on the tramp, the hammock, and teeter totter. Somehow they ALL ended up in the pool, and a full on water war was in session. Kids were going crazy, everyone was dripping wet from their heads to their toes, they were covered in mud as well because the hose ended up coming out- and all I could do was pray for 8:00 to hurry and arrive. It was great, wild, loud and insain- but the kids were laughing and having so much fun. Tristin recieved a of of great presents, we had yummy food and ice cream floats with cupcakes. It was another Pokemon party so everything was decked out with all that and i somehow survived. The weather was alright although it sprinkled for awhile. I pleaded with God not to let it pour because I couldn't handle 19 soaking wet/muddy kids in my house. Luckily, we were fine, but oh, how I prayed. I am offically exhausted. I've been up since 5:00 AM and my feet are so sore I could cry. My legs are about to fall off and my back feels broken. Tristin- I love you sweet boy, and today proves just how much! (As the party was ending, he turned to me and said, " Mom, next year I'm only going to invite 3 people." All I could do was laugh...
