For Alex's ninth birthday we had a house full of boy power, which we've found usually manifests itself in lightsaber battles, loud discussions about lightsabers, or very greasy gaseous emissions.
This year, after a jungle gym party complete with Yoda cake, Alex invited a few friends to spent the night. My job was to set up a tent in the house (it was a little too brisk outside) where they'd sleep. Once the boys finished a marathon Wii session and mandatory lightsaber duels, they decked the tent out in glow sticks so they could, ostensibly, read a few books. I, ever vigilant, kept my eye on them from the other room while also trying to justify watching Stargate Universe.
