Happy 3rd Birthday


The bounce house arrived at 9 am. It's 4:45 and aside from a 1.5 hour nap and a couple of trips for cupcakes, strawberries, a few juice boxes and the bathroom, he's been jumping and sliding the whole time.
We woke him up this morning with a cupcake in bed which just shocked him. And then 15 kids and 15 adults converged on the backyard for pizza and cupcakes and a whole lot of jumping.
My favorite moment of the day was when he walked out to the backyard before his friends arrived and it was decorated with balloons and streamers and the bounce house he said "Is this all for me?" Yes, kiddo, it was all for you and you enjoyed it more than I've ever seen a kid enjoy his birthday.
For me, it was worth every penny, every ache in my feet and even the 8 dozen cupcakes I baked in an attempt to get 3 dozen that weren't raw, burnt or lopsided.
