What to do?? What to do??

Tomorrow is my middle son's birthday.  He will be 13!  With six children we don't do a lot of big birthdays, especially since four of those children's birthdays fall within a month of each other.  However we do like to do something "special" for the 13th.  The question is though....what will we do?

For child #1 we did a surprise party at our home which turned into a traumatic event when she and one of her friends crashed her go-kart and had to go to the hosptital.

For child #2 we went to the lake with his best friends family and got to go sailing on a friends sailboat.

For child #3 we had a special mom and me tea party with her friends.

For child #4 we traveled to Tulsa to see the last American Idol concert from season 7.  We are big fans of Jason Castro and there were some other friends who were driving up and that's what my daughter wanted to do so she and her sister drove up with me.  We stayed at a hotel overnight and our friends bought tickets for us to attend the concert

Now it's time for Child #5 and I've been trying to plan a surprise party.  The original plan was to have everyone come to our home and we'd have a campfire outside and watch an outdoor movie.  But the weather is calling for thunderstorms.  So, a friend of mine offered her home and we'd have some Wii competition and also have the movie for the ones who wanted to watch it. 

Now I don't know what we are doing.

Last night there were 5 sick people in this house.  Stomach virus...need I say more??. My grandbaby is in the hospital being treated for dehydration because of this virus. So it looks like his birthday will be postponed till a later date.  According to the dr. this virus lasts around a week. 

Poor guy....what a way to turn 13.
