Gage's Birthday Party

So we finally had Gage's birthday party. It was the same dilemma we always have - when to have it. It's hard, especially having just moved, because the school year is just starting and he is making new friends, but it is awkward to hand out invitations on the first day of school. So we decided to hold off a week, but then after invites were out we realized it was Labor Day weekend. My brain wasn't functioning in it's normal party planner mode with all of this school girl business I guess. I felt bad because only four boys were able to come, but Gage had fun and didn't seem to mind. He wanted to have a swimming/sports party this year. So we had the boys over and BBQ'd hot dogs and went swimming (the boys played HORSE and water football), then the boys played golf and baseball. It was a great time and when a couple of the boys fathers came to pick them up they actually had them come back later to pick them up. All in all I would say it was a great party even after being scaled back, ALOT, from what I normally do.
