Happy MAYHEM 6th Birthday…

So today was Sadie’s Birthday party. The kids had fun…so it seemed. But you can imagine with ALL THESE KIDS how much fun it was for the parents! LUCKILY MY SWEET FRIENDS CAME TO THE RESCUE. I did not ask any of these gals to help out…yet there they were coming to my desperate need. I love my friends!!!!

The worst part was…I filled my car with kids (after all the other mom’s filled their cars and left), when I realized I COULDN’T FIND MY KEYS!!! I searched this whole house up and down for 20 minutes until I finally found them. Then I got to the park (extremely late) to discover that the kids where almost literally blowing away (along with the presents….balloons etc). The wind was SO STRONG! I even had to tape all of their plates to the table just to keep their dinner from flying away. Seriously my stress level was at its highest!!! I think most of my anxiety stems from the fact that we are moving in just a couple of days and Rich is working like a crazy man…and here I am throwing a party…selling everything…packing…and trying to clean all on the same day. My life is going to feel so boring come next week.

But in the end I survived….AND SADIE HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME AT HER PARTY! That’s all the matters right? It’s her day….any amount of stress I had to endure through today was well worth it as long as she felt special….which she told me she did! Here’s to celebrating you Miss Sad’s!!!

We ate pizza…..

Played games….

I’m going to title this game “Dress up like a homeless man and dig through the trash!!!!”

I loved playing this game as a child at my Birthdays. You wrap up candy again and again in newspaper. Then a child has to dress up in all of these clothes and you give them 2 forks and they get to go at the newspaper wrapped candy. Meanwhile the child next to them is rolling dice. Once they roll doubles then it’s their turn to get dressed up, and then the next child starts rolling. When I was young my mom would wrap up a large chocolate candy bar. And once they stripped it down to the candy on your turn you got to start cutting pieces of the candy bar and start eating it. I opted to go with Skittles to reduce the amount of slobber being swapped between the children. Once they dug to the Skittle I opened the bag and shared with everyone. The kids had fun. And the best part was they were all chanting…..DIG…DIG…DIG!

 

The Birthday girl went first…

Then we had a bag jumping race…

 

Where they all won metals for their jumping skills!!!

Then we opened presents…..ABBY (next to Sadie) PICKED A GOOD ONE!  (I love little kids)

Sadie loved the arts and craft supplies (although cousin Rachel looks a little disgusted about it).

We ate cake, cupcakes and ice cream….

Wow….what a crazy party! But the kids had a good time together and it was a great way to spend our last day with our friends here in Utah.
