party time...

today was tony's nephew birthday party. the party started at 2pm and when we got there it was madness...there were total about 10 six year old boys and two girls running around yelling and screaming, "you're dead, i shot you." they were obviously playing some sort of bad guy-good guy game with play guns. once we rounded up the herd, we ate pizza. mack, the birthday boy, wanted to open presents next but with the weather looking like it was going to rain soon, his parents thought it best to do the pinuata (i know i spelt it wrong but it's the thing that gets filled with candy and kids who are blindfolded swing at it to bust it open and make all the candy fall out) first since they wanted it done outside. each kid took their turn to hit it but it was too high and they weren't hitting it hard enough so the thing probably sustained about 200 hits until it cracked. it was funny, as soon as they saw candy fall out of scooby doo they ran for it, never mind the kid who is blindfolded still swinging!! finally, time to open presents. i never got a good enough look at the gift opening with all the kids huddled watching him and even if i did, i wouldn't remember half the stuff anyways. by then it was about 4:30...roughly the time kids were start getting picked up by their parents. i guess the men had had enough with all the noise cause they went in the garage to play texas horse shoes while the women drank coffee sitting at the kitchen table talking. but where are the kids.....???? they were playing outside by the garden with two older boys who were supervising and wrestling with them. what a good idea to invite them!! :) me and tony left around 5:30 so we could have a nice relaxing peaceful night to ourselves since he was leaving the next morning. we watched the movie,"coach carter." which was a very good movie and i would recommend it to anyone who has not seen it.
enough about my day...it's time for bed.
