You know a birthday is a success when
the birthday boy throws up.
literally.
but just kidding.
Really I felt bad..
Hot dogs, cake, ice cream cones, soda, cotton candy, a loot bag
And then
you go
jump and jump
on a
Bouncer....
hmmm.
not a good mix.
at all.
5 minutes after lunch, Mace came a running AND didn't make it to the bathroom, he hit Ry (luckily not me...but really us mama's despise throw up right?! and we are usually
the ones dealing with it!)
Ry cleaned it up (thank you!) and presto, Mace was fine.
He was not (flu) sick he simply ate to much
and bounced to hard.
Whoops, upset tummy from the bouncer, that was my fault.
It was my idea for a carnival themed party..but should of had them eat last.
BUT throw up aside,
The Birthday was a HIT!
The weather was (luckily) beautiful!
Mace
was
such
a
happy boy.
The kids loved the bouncer.
They jumped and jumped.
It had a hoop inside so I put 8 mini balls in and they loved it.
They would jump, come eat bbq hot dogs, then get on our play set, go shoot real hoops on the basketball court and
then jump again on the Bouncer.
Such an easy and fun party.
We played Mace's favorite games too:
He had his best cousins, his best friends, a bouncer, treats, games, all the fun a 4 year old would want....
He was so darn excited all week long
In fact, he NEVER stopped talking about it..
And yes, I do parties almost every year.
Birthdays only come ONCE.
I want my kids to feel special on their big day.
I always decorate (for cheap!), do a friend birthday party, their favorite dinner and a few gifts...it doesn't take much. (and this year he only got a few gifts b/c we did a bigger party....)
Thanks to all who came and helped celebrate.
Thanks to gma and gpa for helping Ry and I on our crazy day. Soccer games, swim meets, and birthday parties....
a typical Saturday around here.
Glad we could celebrate Mace's birthday here, in
Utah, one last time.
Happy Birthday Mace.
