Nick will be 9 on July 8th. Our schedule for July is so crazy we decided to have a spur of the moment camp out party in the backyard for him. Unfortunately many of his friends were unable to come so I think we will be repeating it on a week day later this month. We had a backyard cookout & the kids roasted hot dogs and marshmallows on the grill (even if it was just charcoal). For those of you who don't know, our yard is so extremely small that an open flame firepit was out of the question. The kids caught lightning bugs, played in the sandbox, and played flashlight tag. Then everyone went home. I am not a huge fan of actual sleepovers but I am all for playing til bedtime. All the kids had fun and everyone went home for a good night's sleep.
And a little explanation about the cake..."Happy Birthday Tito" is a neighborhood joke. Last Labor Day weekend we celebrated a group of birthdays but the Dad who went to pick up the cake couldn't remember which kids were celebrating so he just had them write "Tito" on the cake. Now everyone thinks the Birthday cakes should all say "Tito"!
