Tyson turns 7 today

Well my first born is now 7 years old. Hard to believe. We had his birthday party yesterday at the Sherwood Bowl. He had a blast! And so did the other 12 kids that were there. But the kids were all good. I had one mom stay (she was such a great help) and my hubby, and 2 other dads. (they work with Trev). We had 3 lanes and the kids really enjoyed themselves. We bowled for a hour. Then headed to the party room and had pizza and pop. Then we sang happy birthday, then we were told that we had to be out of the room "by 2:30" so we got the kids to eat their cake while Tyson started opening gifts. My goodness did he get alot of stuff. A webkin, remote control truck, remote control helicopter, some kind of transformer, Mac the truck and some cars with it, another car that drives on its own and talks. Another small car that has a remote (but we told him to save that till today to play with). Oh and another semi truck that opens up. And I bought him Lightning McQueen and Mater. I think I got it all.

Oh but we had one tiny little incident just as we were getting the kids all ready to leave. The fire alarm suddenly went off. And I look to my right and there's sweet little Jordan (my youngest) SHE PULLED IT!! I was horrified and I yelled to Trev....Jordan did that. My child did that. OMG I was totally freaked out. Then the staff had to make an anouncement that is was a false alarm, call the fire dept, and then somebody was trying to shut it off. We think it was a off duty fireman. But the staff had no idea what to do, the first thing he brought the guy was a screw driver. He said no I need a key. So he grabbed something else, wrong one. Finally they found the right key they needed. Meanwhile I'm holding Jordan who is sobbing and saying sorry and I'm scared. Poor kid. And me mouthing to everyone "I"M SORRY"! We left the bowling alley with a bang ha ha ha.

Other than that it was a nice afternoon. Tyson played all afternoon, had a heck of a time to get him to stop and eat supper, then had a hard time winding him down for bedtime. So his grandparents will give him his gift today so he has something on his actual birthday.

I'm still a bit ill, and now I think the girls are catching a cold. Great right before xmas. What can ya do. Gotta go, chow.

I'm sorry but I am laughing out loud about the fire alarm - that is so funny - the kind of thing I am always expecting my kids to do!

My friend Julies Son called 911 while Julie and her DH were still sleeping in the early morning.....she was woken by big bangs on the door and they were about to break the door down!

It sounds like the party was wonderful and hopefully you are getting better!

Happy Birthday Tyson!
