Party time!

I would be rich if i had been paid every time I was asked "when is our birthday party?" and every time I explained the concept of this day is Blake's actual birthday, this day is the day we are having your birthday party, and this day is Caden's actual birthday.  Then to explain to Blake "no, you did not turn 5 one month and then the next month at your party turn 6..... you are 5" and to Caden "no, you will not be 7 on your birthday party day but 10 days later you will turn 7 on your actual birthday."

By the time the party day arrived I was so ready for it to be done :) I will say though we took the easy route this year. (1) Choosing to celebrate together is easy because right now the boys have all the same friends.  I would have loved to invite more but we wanted to keep it smaller and with just the boys in our neighborhood and our pastors boys.... we have a crew :) (2) We had it at a Play Center where they have some bouncies inside and they sale Rainbow Play equipment so everyone can go outside and use the playsets and trampolines!  It was a little hot to be outside but the boys all played really hard and I think they all had a great time.  (= no cleaning my house before the party and then again after the party!) (3) I made cupcakes and ordered the cupcake toppers off of Etsy!!

We all survived, but I feel it has taken all week to recover from it :) Now to regroup and celebrate Caden's actual birthday!  I cannot believe I now have a 7 yo and a 5 yo!!! :(
