We had a good time yesterday. I decided, back when Brendan was a baby, that I would start having half-birthday parties with his friends when he turned five, since his birthday gets swallowed up by Christmas. I invited 8 little boys and was rather disappointed when only 3 showed up at the park yesterday afternoon. Brendan didn't seem to mind, though! They played on the play structure and then had cake and opened presents. He got a Blockbuster gift card from his cousin and a bunch of Transformer toys and books, which pretty much thrilled him to pieces. Then we had a water balloon fight. It was supposed to be just the kids, but after I lobbed one at Jason ... well, let's just say it wasn't only the kids who got wet! Then we went over to the fountains and let the kids run and run. The whole thing only lasted about an hour and a half. I knew Mark wasn't feeling well and didn't want to push things. But Brendan seems perfectly content with the whole experience, simple as it was. Hurray!
