Finally...

So, we finally had the oldest's b-day party. We did a murder mystery party (hence the delay). We've been worried about getting this setup properly for the last couple of weeks. Details like making sure we have enough people, will the kids like it, yadda, yadda, yadda. When it was all said and done, the kids had a great time. Our neighbor came over and died peacefully which was great fun. Then one of the other childrens parents also helped out and ended up being convicted (by the kids) for the crime. We'd been trying to tell him all night that crime doesn't pay. Honestly though, I don't think the oldest has thanked me like she has today EVER. So, I guess she had a good time and it was all well worth it.

By the way, Mom and I enjoyed it too...
