4-13 year old boys for the weekend

Dan's B-day has a way of lasting for weeks. Last weekend we enjoyed a visit with Mom, Dad, Missy and Mike. They were so nice to help celebrate Dan's 13th...balloons,cake Amish freindship Bread (which by the way he is keeping up with completely on his own) and some $ quite a fuss. Thanks to everyone. This weekend it all started with 1 freind over for the night at the farm, I let that expand to 2, then 3, next thing you know I am hosting a full blown birthday party complete with dinner, cake, and elixer of the devil Mountain Dew/Game Fuel. After resurecting 3 bikes so they all had wheels they sped off into the flood plain for a little trail riding. The activity now is something with a flashlight, 2 of the bikes, and a pedestrian, I'm not sure exactly what the game is but it sounds painfull. I'm sure later it will settle into an all night marathon of x-box. Dan really has some nice freinds and I don't need to worry to much about mischief, but the combined energy is sometimes enough to ware you out. Next week we are expecting Kirsti to return from NC, and this will activate a whole other round of B-Day hoopla, she has already told me how guilty she feels about missing his b-day, so I fully expect another cake, present giving, special dinner ect. ect. They call it birthday not birthmonth, oh well you are only 13 once might as well stretch it out.
