This Weekend

When you turn sixteen at our house

the day might begin normally

with a gift or two.

But the day picks up momentum quickly.

Add a dozen or more friends.

An unfortunate parking job.  (NOT to the right guys.  Not to the right!)

Throw in a summer staffer or two (or six or so),

who are there

specifically

for the purpose of livening things up a bit,

and things might get a little messy.

This was one game (thanks Ben, Chris and Lauren) where the girls made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  With their bare feet.

And then the boys?  They ate them.

Other games may or may not have involved marshmallows on strings, balloon shaving, egg tossing, or eggs in the mouth.

(Let’s just say neither Riley nor her friends will be forgetting this little shindig any time soon.)

And that’s just what we had in mind!
