Today we celebrated Grant's 8th birthday. It's so hard to believe that our baby is getting so old. This afternoon we had a detective themed birthday party with several of his school and neighborhood friends here at the house. We did a relay race where the boys had to dress in a "disguise". I went to the goodwill store and bought skirts, shirt, heels & hats with flowers and they had to put of the clothes and run to the end of the sidewalk and back. They thought this was SO fun!!! It was hilarious watching them try to figure out how to get in and out of the skirt and walk in the heels. Then we went on a scavenger hunt around the neighborhood. After returning back home Grant opened all of his presents and then we enjoyed a cake shaped like a magnifying glass with a fingerprint on it that my friend Paula made. We had a little extra time before parents were due back so we set up a soccer game in the backyard. The kids all had so much fun.
After we got the first party cleaned up it was time to celebrate with all of our family. We ordered pizza and then let Grant open his gifts from all of us. He has been taking drum lessons for the past year so Jeff and I got him a snare drum that has a golf ball style look to it. It is really unique. He scored lots of Bakagun toys and games and controller accessories for the Wii. Jeff has really been enjoying the fishing game and fishing pole controller all evening. He also got a globe from Jeff's grandma that you can connect to your computer and get information about anyplace in the world. We ran out of time tonight so we will have to try it out later this week.
I seem to be experiencing alot of formatting problems tonight so I will try to post some of the fun pictures from the party tomorrow.
