Block Parties & Boy Parts

The block party was a success! We almost had a 2nd rain out, but right at 2pm the sun came out and everything was dry. The bouncy house was filled up and the kids started running around and playing. Patriots came on (awesome last minute outdoor setup) and music was playing. The fire truck parked for awhile too. There were over 100 people there, plenty of food (albeit mostly desserts!), and lots of neighbors to meet and chat with.

I have to say I sort of lost track of the kids here and there, but they seemed good with the neighbors treehouse, the bouncy house, the crafts, and face painting. At one point both Joe and I couldn't find Rory. When I came out from looking in the house, Joe was marching him in with pants around his ankles. Yes, you read that right. Pants around his ankles and poop on the back end. Despite having been brought in for an unsuccessful bathroom run just 20 minutes earlier, Rory decided that he would rather go outdoors (I think he faked me out in the house on purpose in retrospect). So, to the back of the neighbors yard he went, dropped his drawers and pooped away. And, while Rory was attempting to climb up the treehouse ladder with his pants around his ankles a group of neighborhood boys was asking to use the neighbors hose to wash off the "dog poop" someone mysteriously stepped in. Joe caught him just in time and was able to hose him off in our house. He just loves peeing outside. Pooping, not so much.
