Glutton for Punishment!


As I sit here posting this entry my house is quiet...that has not been the case for the last 28 hours. I had this grand idea that for Jake and Taiji's 10th birthdays we would throw them a friend birthday party...this has never happened in this house so we had some excited boys! They love bowling so great let's bowl...the boys thought it would be cool if they could then have a sleep over...sure why not I think...Well I'm here to tell ya I'm very happy that I only have 3 boys vs. 15!! Wow what a lot of work! We did survive however and with no serious injuries or hurt feelings. On the docket was, bowling, basketball, baseball, guitar hero, ghosts in the graveyard, wrestling, presents and oh yeah....tons of food!! I'm pretty sure everyone had a great time, but all I can say is....Thank God it's over!! Love ya Jake and Taiji and Happy Birthday!!

You are an incredibly brave woman, Amy! I'm ULTRA impressed! How great that you did that party for your boys-- they'll always have great memories from it.

So, did it blow your food budget for the month??? :)

Sounds like it was a whole lot of fun....you should do a girl party sometime and I should do a boy one and then get together for a glass of wine and compare notes....on second thought, lets not, not sure I could ever handle that many boys at once :)
Way to go....supercoolmom!

Hello Vandalen Clan,

WoW ! You have an amazing family. I just thought that I understood when we talked @ the Barradas Wedding. But they are beautiful. And what braves parents 15 BOYS. sometimes our 1 boy is crazy enough for an evening of fun. Well it sounds like it was a fabulous time.
When we got home from AZ my husband & I shared with lots of people about your family & your amazing story. We still talk about meeting you & how great God is to place us @ the same table to exchange stories. Your faith is so strong & we admire you all for that. Well your family is beautiful & I look forward to checking out the blog again soon.

Truly, Maria Hedlund
