:: Kid-Party Tsunami

Three of the kids have birthdays very close together, so it was joint party. Here's a quick overview:

25 squealing children, 1 bouncy castle, 16 rented chairs, 2 cakes (made from 4 mixes), 20 hamburgers, 20 hot dogs, 12 litres of soda, 4 kids jumping on beds instead of bouncy castle, too many presents, many pairs of misplaced socks, ...and 2 reallly tired parents.

The "High School Musical" cake

The "Indiana Jones" Cake

:: Stephen's Make-a-Wish Trip

I have a post over at Galavanting giving all the details and some travel tips, but here's the video from our wonderful trip to Disney World and Universal Studios courtesy of the Make-a-Wish Foundation.

My son has struggled with spinal cord cancer for four and a half years now and uses a wheelchair for mobility due to a surgical problem that resulted in parapelegia.

If you've ever got extra time or money, seriously consider giving it to MAW or Give Kids The World Village.
