Well, the kid is here and the action and drama has begun. The day of his arrival we had an impromptu birthday party of about 20 people..... of course he and I were the only boys until the dad of two of the girls arrived. We had a private revolt and escaped into a "Ghost Rider" video game. (Girls tolerated, but not allowed.) They are that that age (most of them are all 9 yrs old) where they like each other, but independence is needed. They are heavily into the "Boy versus Girl" thing.
The next day my sis and his mom took him to Orlando. They were in a suite at the Gaylord Hotel, so they were very comfortable. After visits to amusement parks, etc. they returned. We have already seen all the new movies. But, he has not seen the new "Harry Potter"...we are waiting for another friend's boy to arrive on Saturday.
Next up is the pool party on Sunday. It is a compromised theme ... Sponge Bob and Hot Wheels. I have released my OCD to the moms and aunts and I will make a potato salad and play with the kids. Too much drama when none is needed. It is simple with kids...it's the adults that make it difficult.
The week after three more boys arrive, so the odds will be in our favor for a change.
Hope all of you are enjoying the hot summer. Remember to keep hydrated so as not to encourage sunstroke....and use your sunscreen with UVA/UVB protection.
