Never when you want it.

I know I promised you some pictures from Brae's 4th birthday party and true to my promise, here I am delivering said pictures.....a month later.

Whatever, hush. You got them, right?


Here we are at DAIRY QUEEN! This is where fancy people have their frozen stacks of birthday cake and sing for the fast food patrons. We are nothing if not entertainment while waiting for your chili-cheese wiener.


The party room (or our backyard, on less festive occasions) Look how I sprung for matching table cloths and balloons.


Any guesses as to what could be in that cup?


I'll tell you one thing, it wasn't the same thing these chicks were drinking. I'm the mother who bribes party attendants with the promise of frozen adult beverages.





I wonder what kind of cake I should get for him?.......OH, I KNOW. Damn it.


Brae thought the cake was aces. Luke however, pondered the marvel that is a cupcake cake.


WOW! Look at all the new MONSTER TRUCKS. Swell, thanks every one!


.....aaaand an entire Hot Wheels stadium devoted exclusively to MONSTER TRUCKS! A giant plastic arena that does not fold into a compact tote and requires 4 AA batteries that propel a spinning motor sounding like the dental visit from hell?! Awesome, I LOVE IT and I LOVE YOU and please remind me at your granddaughters next birthday how much she LOVES drum sets...and tambourines.


I don't know who the hell these people are. They showed up at the front door with babies though, so I let them in.


And finally. What party would be complete without the obligatory bow head picture. He loves his life. I'm telling you.
