Happy 40th, Gamer!

Oh, we have had so much fun with this birthday! Gamer turned 40 today and we celebrated yesterday with family and friends by having a big barbecue in the back yard.

We hadn't planned to have a pinata this year, but at the last minute, Bossy broke down and bought and filled one. The only problem was that I guess it was filled a little too much because after a few swats with a baseball bat, the wires came out of the top and it hit the ground. But since they bought it at the Mexican Market, of course that wasn't enough to make it break. So instead, they spent the next 10 minutes trying to tie the pinata itself to the rope.

Yeah, right....

Then Bossy decided we could simply "pitch" the pinata to the holder of the bat! Burrito and Taco did most of the swinging and soon we had candy everywhere.

Gamer loved his gifts, most especially the new pair of SouthPole jeans and the tiny Green Bay Packers rattles and baby clothes. It was a fun and happy day before he became an old broken down man of 40 today.

Just kidding, Gamer...

Sort of...
