Bouncing Fun

BB had his birthday party over the weekend.  He just wanted to invite his soccer team.  That's 15 eight year old boys, but with these sort of things not that many usually show up.  Plus, it was a holiday weekend.  I thought for sure not many would be able to come.  The joke is on me.  10 boys came!  That's a lot of boy!  Gratefully, we had rented a blow-up obstacle course for the boys to play on outside.  It was SO much bigger than what I pictured in my head, but it fit, and the boys loved it.  I worried constantly for weeks about the weather not working out.   It had been raining just about every day and it was not warm enough to make it a water slide, but the weather ended up being beautiful!  We lucked out!

The boys were legit crazy, but no one ended up in the emergency room, so I call it a success.

I have no idea how Little Guy managed to survive the entire party without being hurt by the bigger boys, but he had a great time as well.

BB requested Oreo cupcakes.  They have an entire Oreo at the bottom of the cupcake with Oreo frosting.  The boys devoured them! 

The older two showed up when they heard the word "pizza."

The party was a success!  We had a set number of hours for the rental, so we decided to get the most bang for our buck.  Little Lady invited friends over to play on it before the party started, and then Little Man had a friend over and Little Lady another friend after the party was over.  They played right up until the guys showed up to take it down.  They slept well that night.

Today BB actually turned 8.  He requested waffles and buttermilk syrup for breakfast and sweet and sour meatballs on rice for dinner with a side of carrots.  

Happy birthday, BB!
