Birthday Party

The Bieber party is still going on chez nous. After five straight days of rain, today was perfect. sunny and 75 degrees - which Catherine assured me it would be. The certainty of youth. How could the day not be perfect? I'm having a party.
My morning started early with the arrival of Ellen's son Zack. Ellen is in Norway and Jerry was off to 'enjoy' some 100 mile bike ride so we had Zack for a chunk of the day. My hat is off to all you people with three year olds... We were full speed ahead until Dad returned at a little after 3. Super lucky for Zack that the company brining the bouncy castle with velcro wall had to drop it off a couple of hours early so he got to bounce his little heart out before heading home.
The party was joint with Catherine's friend Gina who also has a May birthday. We contributed the venue and bouncy castle and Gina's Chinese parents arrived with trays and trays of homemade Chinese food. The girls decorated like mad - balloons, fairy lights, tea light candles. Now that it is after 10pm they have gathered every sleeping bag we own and are camped on the lawn about to watch the Justin Bieber movie on the projector I borrowed from work. Catherine is still saying it is the best party ever so I'm happy.

Sounds like a fabulous party for these girlfriends -- oh to be 17!

Sounds awesome. You should be proud as well as happy! And indeed, three year olds can be mighty trying.
