Max's B-day Party

Friday, the boys had a 1/2 day of school, so Maxwell had his birthday party. He wanted his two best buddies from school over, Jason (has the orange headband on) and Ryan. So we picked them up from school to have them at our house for the day. I asked him if he wanted to play any birthday party games. I got a definate no, he just wanted to play.



Everyone went outside to run up in the tree house, sword fight and play on the tire swing. The game on the tire swing was to take turns being on the swing while everyone else threw balls at you. Everyone seemed to have fun. And as a side note, Timmy learned how to climb up the tree house ladder that day but can't get down yet.


A very serious game of Mario chess.


If you're a Steffen this photo needs no explanation. For everyone else, Max is going through the spanking machine. One of our kids started talking about it and Ryan and Jason thought that sounded like a lot of fun, and convinced Randy to let them set it up and send Max through it. So everyone lined up, legs spread apart, and Max crawled through to get birthday spankings. Everyone wanted a turn, but Randy said, "No, no, only the birthday boy goes through the spanking machine."


Max wanted ice cream cake for his party, so I found directions for one and made it. It was probably the easiest cake I've ever made. After ice cream cake the kids played outside some more, played more video games, more chess, and Randy grilled for supper. After supper we took the boys home.
