Normally, I'm not the type to invite 14 crazy (as in FUN crazy) boys over on the same day, at the same time. Only a crazy woman would do something like that! But when it's all in the name of PARTY, then why not? 
Normally, I'm not the type who allows these crazy (again, FUN crazy) boys to shoot water bombs at each other with giant sling shots! But when it's all in the name of PARTY, and Ryan's in charge, then party on dudes!
Normally, I'm not so hot on the idea of these same fun-crazy boys ALL getting in the pool at the same time. But, when Ryan's the one throwing them in, and everyone is having a blast, then enjoy the water party!
Normally, I won't allow food in the pool; having food in the pool is asking for a huge watery mess! But, when it's water football, and the watermelon is the ball, a person's gotta sit back and enjoy the football party!
Normally, I'm not too keen on skulls and swords and guns and bombs. But, when it's a crazy Pirate's Birthday, you gotta have all the pirate goods!
Normally, I wouldn't have a soul over after getting diagnosed with strep throat earlier that day! (I hadn't been feeling so hot for a couple of days, and Ryan finally forced me to go see a doctor...and I am so glad he did!) But, since I have an amazing seven year old who cleaned most of the house and helped me get everything ready, and I have an amazing husband who ran the whole event while I stood back and kept my germs to myself, the party went on!
It really was such a fun party! We swam and had balloon fights and water bomb wars! Ryan made the boys "walk the plank", and he led them in watermelon football. Pizza and watermelon for dinner (FYI: four pizzas is NOT enough food for 17 kids!) Thank you kids for helping me out so much today and for letting me get a nap in. Thank you Ryan for doing 98% of the work once you got home!
Party on!

Who gets mom of the year? YOU DO!!! So fun! :)
Go, Lena! This is something I wouldn't attempt. Not in a hundred years. Then again, I don't have a pool. I think having a pool gives you super powers.
Holy Cow, Lena. You really know how to party, girl! Do you have a pool in your backyard?
WOW - what a party & strep throat to boot???? Ugh!
You are amazing! Can't wait to see you again - we will definitely head to Black Canyon!(no pool in our back yard!)
Holy Mackerel! You are mother of the year, woman. I heart you for being such a good mom. And way to go RYAN--working the party! :) Your house always was (and always will be!) the place to party, that's for sure. The pirate party looks like it was so fun for Rem--I cannot believe he is 7...why do our children have to age? :)
How I wish we could have been there to help you! And certainly, we wanted to be there for the fun. You truly do know how to party. That we know! Thanks for the fun report! xoxoxox
Your comments are my favorite, I love hearing from you. As for the party, I want an invite! I'll jump the plank and eat in your pool and I'll even draw a tatoo of a sword on my arm that says MOM! Can I come??
That sounds like so much fun! Also completely chaotic and out of control! I love it!
Oh my nack Lena...you are crazy! Are you kidding me; you have a pool in your backyard. How fun for you and your family. Well it looked like quite the party! Tell your kids they are lucky to have you and Ryan for parents. You are good at life!
you. rock. my. world.
Rem is a lucky boy to have such a fun mom :) And I'm so glad that Ryan helped out since you weren't feeling up-to-weather...you guys are the perfect team!
Sounds like a crazy party. I liked the comment you left me! I'm glad you like my blog!
