Never Again!

Never again will I host a birthday party for 38 of my daughters closest friends! Now I have to tell you, it wasn't all bad. A little crowded...a little confusing at times and heck, I only got one very small sliver of cake with all these kids around. But for the most part, they were good. Morgan got a few gifts, but mostly cards with money. Not bad for a 14 year old....she received $225!!! They danced, played Dance Dance Revolution, some played some basketball and they watched a movie. The trouble only happened when it was time for parents to pick them up. Some kids went outside to wait for their ride. That's when the opportunity arose. I opened the door to call my dog back inside and heard a loud "boom" and saw a bright flash of light. I asked who did that, and of course "no one" did. I told them not to do that again, got the dog and went in to continue clean up. While cleaning up the basement, I was shutting a window and heard another loud "boom"! Sent the hubby out. By this time our neighbor was outside chewing some kid out. Hubby made everyone come in to wait for their parents. One boy thought he saw his ride coming and went outside, only to come back in to let me know that the police were pulling up. Yipee. Sent the hubby out again. Luckily nothing happened, but a neighbor called the police and said there were fireworks and a grass fire. We didn't find any fire, or even scorched grass the next day. I think it was just the very bright light that the firework made. It'll be a birthday party Morgan can remember....the one where the cops showed up. I hope she doesn't expect a party next year!
