The party is done for BG. She had fun, and so did all her friends. We held the party at a local rollerskating rink, it’s a place that I went to as a kid, and it’s in some kind of time warp.

We had about 10 or 15 kids, and lots of skating and falling-down was done by all. Plus lots of pizza eating (for the non-allergy people, and followed by hand-washing), and lots of cake eating.

The cake is a fun(ish) story. We made a white cake and a chocolate cake Friday night. And the white cake was fine, but the chocolate cake not so much – more like a brown brick. I planned to make another after diner, but I whacked my foot and it was iced and painful until I fell asleep a little after 3am. Then we tried to make another chocolate cake, but the oven wouldn’t preheat. The oven, she is broken. I kn has sadness. However, my mom brought cupcakes and all was right with the cake-and-party world.

BG was so happy with her party, and so glad that most of her friends could come. It was great to see cousins playing with eachother including cousins from opposite sides of the family! A nice mix of relatives and friends. I thought my dad was going to have a heart-attack, though, from all the bouncing around happening to the kids! He gets nervous they’ll get injured. I just cross my fingers and hope for no (serious) injuries.

We left here a little after 12, and came home around 4:30. I was wiped out and laid down for a nap a bit after 6. I woke up 16 hours later. that was a good nap!

Now to start worrying about MG’s birthday next month…
