We had Dax and Delaney's joint birthday party at Gym X-treme today! The kids had a great time and --even Mom and Dad got in on the action by jumping into the ballpit. OK--Daddy came up behind Mommy and picked her up and then jumped into the ballpit, but it still counts right? The kdis thought it was great, but Mommy tried to take a bath in hand sanitizer afterwards! Look at the picture! Does that thing look like it has ever been cleaned? Not to mention the work it took to climb out of that thing! Even the Grandma's jumped in. Grammy Michelle swears there is no bottom on the pit!
So, whew--done with our birthday party season again until next September!!!
We also had our first snow day on Friday. I wasn't surprised! I mean the four older children all put on their pajamas inside out, flushed ice cubes down every toilet and slept with spoons under their pillows. So, of course, when they woke up on Friday morning earlier than they would have to on a normal school day and the reason they gave when asked why thery were up was, "We want to see if we get to sleep in today!", I wasn't at all surprised that they got a snow day. They enjoyed just playing games and staying in their inside out pj's. And, of course, I was reminded of one of the great benefits of being a teacher--snow days. Sometimes, I think us teachers look forward to them more than the kids.
The only sad part of the day was when Daddy had to leave for work. Drake put on his shoes, grabbed his play cell phone, and went over to the boys and said, "bye, boys!" He was devastated when Daddy told him he had to stay and couldn't go to work with him :(
