Today ended up not being as busy as I thought it would. 

First, we all went to the Siegel Center to watch the robotics competition.  Nathan’s baseball coaches are mentors to a high school team that was in the competition.  Not sure that there was any lessons to learn about baseball there but it was pretty neat. 

When we got home, we had to set up for Nathan’s (totally last minute) birthday party.  Finding a place to hang a piñata in our yard was almost impossible.  We only have 1 tree and it’s old enough that none of the branches are close for even Steve to reach.  So, we improvised with a plant hanger and it worked great!   

 

Then we set up horse shoes for the kids to play.  I think they had more fun playing before they were told the rules!   This game didn’t hold their interest for very long so we headed inside for cake!

I was so not prepared for this party that there was no ice cream and I bought a 2 liter of Hi C when I had a fridge full of little hugs.  All the kids asked for more cake… never had that happen before!  All in all it was a good party.  Nathan got some great gifts and I think all the kids had a good time.  No one complained so that’s all that matters to me!

 

On a sad note… Spongebob didn’t do so well……
