Poor DJ. His birthday falls so close to Christmas that sometimes his parties get put off. This year he had his party on the 29th. Why do they always have to be slumber parties???? Five 12 year old boys. . . . it's amazing I am still alive (and they are, too)!!
First they went to see the movie Sherlock Holmes. Then they came back to our house for pizza and cake. And apparently balloons up the nose.
Blowing out the candles. DJ likes cheesecake, so that is what he chose for his cake.

This can only be trouble.

While we were busy celebrating his birthday, my neighbor called to tell me that his wife was sick and he needed to take her to the doctor and could I please watch his three kids? SURE! What' s a few more, right??? Well . . . he ended up having to take her to the emergency room. You know what they do in the emergency room? KEEP YOU ALL NIGHT. So I had TEN CHILDREN at my house, including an 8 week old baby, all night and half of the next day. Needless to say, nobody got much sleep, especially me. The baby did really good and slept most of the night, amazingly, but I was so worried about him waking up that I kept waking myself up. I forgot what it's like to have a baby around.
Can anyone say BIRTH CONTROL??!?!?!?
