Tyler turns five years old on Tuesday. He has been asking for a friend birthday party since Josh's birthday six months ago. So Tony and I have been planning on throwing one for him, even though I am so big and pregnant. We were planning to do it very low key. We invited three girls and three boys, so plus Tyler and Josh that made eight kids. It was a good number.

Tyler really wanted a Super Hero theme, so I made masks for the kids to decorate and then kind of last minute my mom and I made all the kids capes. My mom had some super fun shiny red and blue fabric that she said that she would let me have and showed me how to make capes out of it. It turned out to be super easy and I am really glad that we were able to do that. The kids all loved the capes and it really made it a "super" party. The weather was really nice today, about 60 degrees, so the kids mainly played outside. Some of the kids played a matching game, but mainly they just played all over. Then we opened presents (I think that was Tyler's favorite part) and then had cupcakes and ice cream. Some kids left after about an hour and a half and others stayed for two hours. It was a good amount of time and I think all the kids had a good time. Tyler said that he wanted his friends to leave so that he could play with his new toys, we'll have to work on that attitude for sure. I am glad that we didn't try to plan a whole bunch of different games and crazy things, because I was pretty tired just from decorating and cleaning to get ready for the party.

I told Tyler that he wouldn't get a friend party every year and he seemed okay with that. I am thinking maybe every like five years - I guess we'll see what happens in the future. A couple of the mom's stayed and we got to chat while the kids played, so that was fun for me. Tony did a good job playing with the kids and making sure Koda was a good puppy. It was fun, but I am glad it is over. Now we have our family party next Saturday. We are going to BBQ, so I hope that it's nice weather again. It is always fun when family gets together, I just hope that I don't allow my self to get too stressed about the whole thing. I am sure they won't care if my house isn't perfectly clean or I'm a lazy hostess that night...that's what so good about family. They love you no matter what.
