This evening, Rachel and I left the boys at home and went to Wylie's 4th birthday party. It was outside, which was hot and humid, but the kids didn't seem to mind. The theme was John Deere tractors, so most of the boys had on their John Deere t-shirts and there were 3 real tractor there for the kids to sit on. (I felt like I was at a John Deere convention.) There was a John Deere pinata and adorable birthday cake. The cutest thing was the goodie bag...it was a brown paper bag with a green bandana folded cutely so that it poked out and inside was a water gun and a CD with every country boy or tractor song imaginable. It was so cute and Rachel LOVED it! I admit, I loved it too...anything that I can sing along to. There were even some real songs, like "Thank God I'm a country boy" and "Country Road, take me home". And, of course "Dixie" and the Dukes of Hazzard theme song...Great stuff!

We had a great time, however, the birthday boy fell down inside (just as the party was starting)while running around with some of his friends (Rachel included) and landed face down on the hardwood floors. He had busted the inside of his bottom lip and it was bleeding. While Emily and John were trying to make it better, I guess it wore him out, because Wylie fell asleep and missed his party! We did the pinata and the birthday cake without him. Can you believe it? Emily said she would just get him a new cake tomorrow. So, we didn't get to see him open his presents...Oh well!
