Carsons Club

For weeks now Carson has been talking about having "Club" at our house. He wanted to invite all his friends over and have a bunch of activities.(Sounds like a birthday party to me!) So this Monday we finally decided it was a good day to do it. We ended up with 12 kids at "Club". And Carson and Michael had a lot of fun.
We started out throwing water balloons. Michael wanted targets to throw at. So I decided to draw some pictures of some boys that they could throw the water balloons at. Looking back that was probably not a very wise mom decision. Something else would have been better to throw at. But, they really liked throwing the balloons.

Then we put up the big water slide and let them play on that(without water).

Michael invited over two of his buddies too. They had fun.

After the slide I had made sugar cookies for them to decorate. They had a lot of fun with that.

Especially Blake! Um, um, Good!

Then after half the kids had left for dinner the rest played turkey, turkey, gobble and duck, duck, goose.
It was fun to have some planned activities for the kids, but definitely a lot of work. I think "Club" will have to be just an occasional activity!

You are so fun. I don't think I could do that especially if it wasn't even for a birthday. You are a great mom. I haven't read your blog for awhile so I just read the news that you are 80% having a girl. That is so exciting. I know the feeling about starting all over but it is sooo FUN! I really hope you are. The boys will adore her. Anyway Congrats and take care!!

Your boys are so lucky to have you as their mom. You are such a great mother. You have too much energy. :)

I think that Hunter and Carson would get along great. Hunter does and talks about getting groups of kids together all the time! You are a great sport...he still hasn't talked me into getting a group of 15+ kids (ranging in age 3-16 yrs old-he has a wide age group of "friends")together to have a basketball tournament!

That's nice of you to throw a birthday party for no one's birthday. It's pulling teeth to get me to do all that work on their birthday! Look like it was fun though.
