Johnny's 4th Birthday
Ben's cousin, John, turns four this Wednesday. Happy birthday, John! We celebrated by going out to the Lunas' house in Byron on Sunday. It turned out to be a beautiful day for a party and Ben had to borrow some shorts from his cousins, it was so hot! There were eight little boys at the party and no girls. That made for lots of running around with squirt guns, climbing up the fort and playing sports (or their version of, anyway). Ben overindulged in M&Ms and ice cream cake, then he fell down the steps of the deck and got a bloody lip. He topped off the evening by streaking the party after a much needed bath, then passed out as soon as we got in the car to drive back to Chicago. He knows how to party.
You could take out "ben" and insert the name of many people in "the group" (as in Mad Libs) and you would be describing post-softball outings, Skanksgiving, or any outing - really - of about 5 years ago. You remember those days.... pre kids.. when "pump and dump" was more likely a joke about Marty.
