I love boys, I really, really do, and having twelve of them (plus my three) here for my son's thirteenth birthday party was a joy. They are loud, messy, silly, and basically uncomplicated creatures. I like to watch them, and I like to feed them, because they eat with gusto and that warms my Italian heart. (To tell you the truth, I'm a little envious of
Kathryn, who has EIGHT sons.) So, the birthday party was a success: the rain ended, there was plenty of food, and even after a rousing game of hide-and-seek in the dark, the neighbors still like us.
I wanted memories of this night, so I asked the boys for a group photo:
So they tried a human pyramid . . .
it didn't work.
Then, they conspired and pointed at something
just when I shot the photo. How do they think
of these things??!!
Finally!! The ONLY way to get a group shot!

You can feel the energy and fun through the computer screen! LOL
The real question that I have is -- was the sandwich platter for 30 enough?
It looks like great fun!! I'm so glad they had a good time! Have a good weekend Bia - see you soon. Kellan
my sister is having her 3rd child in may, and my family thinks she is having a boy:) she has 2 girls, so its time for a boy:)
Oh I love the photos, I'm so glad it was fun!!
soutenus- thanks for visiting, and yes, the two sandwich platters were enough, as were the four bags of chips and the 5 2-liter bottles of soda. I almost ran out of DQ ice-cream cake...one boy had FIVE slices (I don't know where he put it!).
marilena- blessings to your sister, and thank you so much for visiting!
Oh my goodness, what fun!!!! Happy Thirteenth, MOM!!! Cathy
Wow, what a party! My son would be jealous of that! Did you get any sleep? I loved that last picture of them all settling down once the food is on the table. "Time for din din!"
BTW, I left something for you at my blog.
What wonderful pictures! What fun! What a wonderful Mom you are to set this all up for your son!
Great pics. Ummm, but could you do me a favor and just keep them away from my thirteen year old daughter for a few more years?
Thanks. :)
You've got way more patience that I do. But I do think I'd rather have boys invade the house than girls.
