I've got to go back in time a bit this summer because I've got some great pics I want on here of the kids. I'll start with G $'s (that's what we call Graham sometimes) 9th birthday. He decided he wanted to have a guitar hero birthday. So we decided to have a guitar hero competition (with prizes) and sleepover! Whew it was quite a partay!!!!!
For the competition Lydia and I were judges and they were judged on style (which included costumes, moves and facials), and score. They each got to pick and song and we picked a song for them to perform. Here's Graham with painted on facial hair and skull hat! He was rockin! He even played behind his neck! Of course he chose to wear his Slash shirt!
Also, a picture of the cake he requested. I found one on line to copy. Mark cut it out! Pretty nice considering I NEVER make cakes!! FYI, black frosting stains face and everything it comes in contact with. If you don't mind that, the kids thought it was COOL!
Mark also put a firepit in the back yard for this special event. I hurried this project along thinking this would be the greatest addition to the party. The kids could really care less about it. They much preferred playing ghost in the graveyard with their dollar store flashlights all night! Isn't it funny how ya think they'll like one thing and it's alway another that they really dig!?? Don't get me wrong, we love the firepit and are glad Mark rushed around getting it in. It just didn't need to be done by this guitar hero party!
The next day Graham said "this was the best party ever, Mom!" That's pretty much what I go for every year...smiles for my babies (who aren't babies anymore!)!

Aren't you the coolest mom ever? I found you thanks to the Iowa Unschooler list. :)
Thanks for sharing your stories!!
Oh, I forgot! We put in a fire pit this weekend. It is nothing fancy. We had so much fun with it. Both our boys love fire. Their friends loved it too.
Happy Anniversary! I hope your weekend ROCKED!
