Birthday Bash!

Joseph was so excited for his birthday party that he actually tied himself to a chair in front of the microwave. Why the microwave you ask? It's the only clock in the house that's easy for him to read. He wanted to make sure that he didn't miss the party (so cute), but he had a whole 6 hours before it started. He only lasted 10 min, but it was so fun to see him get that excited

What does a 11 yr old and 8 yr old boy want for their birthdays? Video games and junky toys. That's right, I am the mother of two full blown video game lovers (not addicts) and David and Joseph celebrated their birthdays at an arcade in our mall called time out. This was one of my all time favorite b-day parties ever. And guess whose idea it was? Enoch's. Pretty much the whole thing was done by Enoch! Wow, what a guy right?

David is relishing Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Yet again another idea from Enoch. As a side note, I lived off of Ben and Jerry's chocolate chip cookie dough in college.

Ahhhh, ski ballllll ooooooo! Usually when we go to time out, the kids get 5 tokens. For this party, each kid got 40. So Joseph really honed in his ski ball skills and racked up some serious tickets. He's the master now!

And Elizabeth keeping track of her tickets after playing ski ball. Next to her is our friend Jeff Smiley. We had a great night and it was so much fun even for me.
