Cake Assault, Drunk Karaoke, and wait, there’s more…
Our annual summer bash was a week ago Saturday, on the 25th of July. Which, not coincidentally, was Kayley’s 14th Birthday!! My big girl turned FOURTEEN. Can you believe it? I know some of my readership first got to know Kayley when she was five years old. FIVE! And now, she’s got boobies and purple hair and an iPod. She’s going to be a freshman in a few weeks! Where does the time go?
The party was OUTSTANDING. If you weren’t here, well – you missed out, dude. Paul worked for a solid month building his badass DJ booth, which he designed to match the existing pieces in our finished basement. As you may know, the previous owners put hundreds of hours into finishing this basement, to include custom built-in cabinetry, a wet bar, and a bathroom complete with a URINAL. Total guy zone. The only thing missing was a massive DJ booth that makes the bar itself look like a toy kitchen. And Paul did such a phenomenal job – his work impressed everyone!
And for the party, we went all out! Paul even bought glowstick necklaces and drink stirrers for everyone. It looked like a rave. Ha! I saw kids looking like LL Cool J, covered in necklaces. Well, if LL Cool J wore glowstick necklaces. You get the idea. He also bought a whole set of tooter shot tubes and Jagerbomb shot cups. And did I mention he constructed an actual STAGE for singing karaoke? It was downright delightful.
We invited every neighbor on our street and all of our friends – and this house felt like it was literally pulsating from the energy of all the music and people and spilled Jagermeister. I can’t believe how many people were here, especially considering that dozens of our friends were off camping or celebrating their wedding anniversary or on vacation. It was crazy times!
And someone decided to smash Kayley in the face with her slice of cake, which was really not very nice. She was pretty upset about it. But damned if that incident didn’t result in one of the funniest pictures I’ve ever seen!! I laughed for 30 seconds straight when I got that one off the camera. Sorry, baby girl.
And hey, you’ll never believe this shit. I was cleaning up the day after the party and guess what I found, embedded in the rug near the door? A tooth. A human tooth. Someone lost their TOOTH at my party. How does that even happen? If you were over here and you’re missing a tooth, holler at me. I saved it for you!

Someone smushed cake in your daughter’s face at her own party? That’s pretty rude. I don’t blame her for being mad. Your photo reminded me of one of my favorite photos of my son. When he was less than two he was sloshing shaving cream on the kitchen table and he decided to taste it. Before reaching for a towel I grabbed the camera and got a priceless photo of his horrified expression. I think I might be a bad mom, but at least I have a sense of the absurd.

Awwwww, I wish I could have made the party. Since I missed this one will you invite me to the next? Pleeeeeeassseeeee? okay enough begging…. just saying.
After seeing Kayley’s po’d photo you should ask her who’s tooth it was SHE knocked out!?
So, how the hell does someone lose a tooth at a party without ya noticing? Now I am really kicking my ass I wasn’t there! That must have been some party!
