Mason's birthday is just days before my due date. SOOO We threw him a early birthday party. I like to do one friend party a year and this year is Mason's turn. Summer fun is always the funniest fun so we planned a pool party during the hottest part of the summer. It was planned and set for the last week of July. That day it only got to 91 degrees and was in the 80's the rest of the days.
We had pizza, presents, cake, and pop sickles. Ohh and we set up our pool that is about 3 feet deep. Mason and all his friends had lots of fun. After the 3 hour party I took them all home and then the bigger kids of the neighborhood could jump in and play.
I feel I should give more details of the day to give you a realistic picture of events. We got home late the night before so I had to decorate the cake the morning of the party and set up the pool and make the pizza all before the kids got there. I couldn't find a working air pump so I blew the pool up with my lunges. I am 8 months pregnant and a mother of 4 other small children, Aaron was not home to help, I sprayed the kids down with mosquito spray and sun screen every hour, I had to barrow my neighbors minivan to take everyone home because ours was in the shop. I'm too cheep for paper goods to be on hand and running to the store is not an option here in Woodruff, so all the 5&6 year old friends eat off of paper towels and drank with glass glasses.With all that goes into a party, I am so glad to do it for my Mason. He is so fantastic, wonderful, fun, loving, excepting of others, forgiving, empathetic, giving, and patient. He is also cute, smart, and athletic.
Mason and I owe Taylor a BIG THANK YOU. It went off so well and successful because of him.

The best parties are those that don't come with a big price tag, but are full of fun kid activities and memories. You are an amazing mom. It was great to see you at the reunion. I will be sending you some girl clothes for the baby when she is 12 months +.
