Happy Birthday Logan, Lucas, Kale & Ella!

This weekend was birthday palooza at our house. Being that 1/2 the little kiddos on my side of the family have a spring birthday, we all get together to celebrate in our neck of the woods. This was Lucas' first friend party and we even let Kale invite a few friends. Well a few friends for both ended up being 20+ kids. This is exactly why we had the party at Jump!Zone instead of at our house. Jump!Zone is not my favorite place to host a party 'cuz it's a shared party arena and you don't know when your guests arrive and the kids don't always know who is there until well into the party. None the less, the kids had an absolute blast. Jump!Zone has amazing inflatables that are not for the weak at heart. Don't ya know Kale needed me to go down all those wicked slides with him. There was lots of jumping and attacking Aunt Shan in the bounce houses...don't worry I was merciless! Kale was running a little fever so of course he was a cling on until that Motrin kicked in. Then he was a crazy man...and the fever never returned! After the kids were more than worn out, we headed to the party room where the kids received their much deserved sugar high. For whatever reason I get ideas in my head and then go ahead and execute them. This time it was to give a non-traditional party favor that matched the superhero theme. I made capes and masks for every kid in attendance. While it was loads of work it was worth it because it made Lucas' day and all the kids loved them. Will I do it again...probably so as I always do that to myself.

We headed home for the best pizza (shout out to Johnny Bruscos!) and then the frat party began. Guitar Hero jam session followed by a little pong in the garage 'til the wee hours of the night.

Good times had by all. Until next year!
