We are venturing into the arena of "friend" birthday parties, and I have to say that Liam's first one was a great success. We rented out our town pool for two hours on Saturday morning, and the kids had an absolute blast. Liam must have gone down the slide into the deep end 50 gajillion times, while Max and Henry enjoyed more sedate pursuits in the shallow end and kiddie pool. At one point, all of the big kids joined the little ones in the kiddie pool, which was kind of strange with the big pool just sitting there. Anyway, it was just about perfect, except for a debacle with an overly frozen ice cream cake (I couldn't cut it!) and Mike taking a knee to the eye from Liam while they were playing in the water. Liam got a party that thrilled him, and Mike and I got the pleasure of just throwing out our trash on the way out and heading home to a non-party-ravaged house. I really think we're on to something here! Now we just have to figure out what kind of away-from-the-house activity we can do for Max's birthday in February. I sense a sledding party coming on...
