First day of school

Both kids have returned to school. I'm not sure who was more excited, me or them? Londynn is now in 1st grade and Boston just started his 2nd year of preschool. The years are flying by.

A Birthday to remember

At least that's what I told my kids. They better remember this birthday party because I don't know when their next one will be. With Londynn's and Boston's birthdays 2 weeks apart my sister had a great idea of combining the two and having a backyard carnival. While I knew it would be a lot of work it sounded like a fun idea. I'm not going to lie, it was kinda fun planning it. Took a lot of time but still fun. I was able to borrow a couple of the big games from my sisters friend and then I threw together the others. In all we had 7 games. Duck pond, go fish, ball toss, bean bag throw, plinko, spin the wheel and face painting/tattoos.
I love this picture of Boston. Makes me laugh every time I see it.

I had to talk Londynn into dressing up as a clown so we could get a picture. She agreed as long as she didn't have to wear the nose.

Birthday Girl!! I can't believe she's 7.
Overall it was a great party. We were threatened with rain after we played games and had had dinner so the party was moved indoors for singing and presents. It was complete chaos for 2 hours and there was no way I could have pulled it off without the help from my family, but I think the kids had a blast. We loaded them full of sugar and cheap toys and sent them home.
