Block Party










Collin had two parties today. One was his birthday party (see previous post) and the other was the annual BBQ block party that started 2 1/2 hours after his birthday party ended. This year, it was at the end of our cul-de-sac so it was VERY convenient. There was a fire truck there for the kids to check out, a dunking both, pig races with stuffed animals, LOTS of BBQ and other food and 1000 water balloons....yep, ONE THOUSAND water balloons. Collin mainly wanted to stand and watch the kids play with the dunking booth. If we would have let him, he would have sat over the booth to be dunked himself. He finally started to play with some other boys that were his age. We all participated in the water balloon fight. Collin was really proud of himself when he threw a balloon at me and it hit me.

He did not want to go inside when it was time to go in. He and I put a puzzle together and played with some of his new toys. He also showed Grandma H his train set that Aunt Lisa and Uncle Paul got him for Christmas. After a slight fight to get in the tub, he finally did. He got out and he brushed his teeth really good like he usually does. I read three books to him and then put the CD in for Puff the Magic Dragon. He crawled in bed and was snoring within 3o minutes. Daddy is still hanging out with the neighbors (it's 11pm).
