Ryker's 8th Birthday

 So I was feeling pretty lazy about throwing Ryker a party, So I decided just to rent Zookeeper and have the kids watch a movie. The morning of his party, reality slapped me in the face and said, "there is no way a house full of boys is going to watch a movie." So I moved the movie outside and decided to do some zoo foods to go along with party; cotton candy, hot dogs, soda etc.

I was glad I moved the party outside when Chase smashed a whole cupcake into his face and then the rest of the boys follow suit. Yes, I ended up cleaning frosting out of noses.

Ryker got, Money, Bionicals, a basketball, few other things and his friend took him to a haunted house that night as his gift.

Brooke and Brianna making the cotton candy.

The boys roasting their hot dogs. The boys loved the fire. I use the term, fire loosely because most of the time it was actually just smoke. Russell and Rick weren't home to light me a fire. I figured, "how hard can it be?" The answer to that is, REALLY HARD! Surprisingly enough paper and wood don't really like to STAY on fire, they just smoulder and smoke and slowly turn to ash. How anyone can get a whole house to burn down is beyond me.

If I am ever accused of arson, please refer to this post as my first line of defense.
