Pizza, Pinata & Presents

Well Sydney's 8th Birthday Party went off with a bang, we had such a great time and he received the most awesome presents and we had a special visit from Michelle, Jeff & Sunny, it just made the day even more awesome, being surrounded by the people you love just makes life so much sweeter. Our Herbie the love bug cake came out impressive and I even made the cake from scratch from a family recipe on my hubby's side, twisted the recipe a bit and used rice flour instead and I must say it was dence but moist at the same time thank goodness, otherwise I would of had to make some cookies to compensate for the cake but what have ya all was good. I ended up making my t-shirt into a tank and wore my lava lava (sarong for those that don't speak polynesian). One of my favourite moments of the day is when the kids got to hit the pinata, what a lot of fun that was, weather was on our side and to top the day off we all went over to the Groveport Aquatic center and swam the rest of the day away, here I'm thinking well thats it for me "the mummy" has done her job and low and behold all the boyz were plotting to spend the night at our house, (funny that I had a feeling that may happen, so the night before I said to Sydney that we weren't going to have any sleep overs because we had an early morning doctors appointment with Dr Q Medicine Woman) and you know I couldn't say no, so we had 4 extra critters for the night, Matt 12yo, Josh his bro 10 they were Sydney's first friends when he was in my belly, Silas Sydney's best friend & Mikeal Sydney's cousin, they had a blast and truthfully I totally enjoyed their company, their parents should be proud of them, they are raising wonderful conscious earth loving kids and that just brings me hope and joy for my son's generation and for future generations to come. So now its Saturday July 5th and I'm still cleaning up my home from Sydney's Party back on July 2nd, oh well it was all worth it, hearing laughter and giggles in my house just makes my home smile from within. Hope all are enjoying their independence weekend, racheal signing off for now.
