The Buzz Party

We celebrated Jack's 5th birthday this past Saturday - Buzz Lightyear style. His only requests were "a Buzz Lightyear party" and "a bouncy castle." Check and check! The weather was supposed to be horrendous with severe thunderstorms, high winds, and hail so we had to move it indoors. It actually turned out to be a nice day, with just a little bit of brief rain. The bouncy castle was set up in the front yard and the kids played all over the house. Everyone had a great time and Jack was on cloud nine all day long!

Party time!

Jack and his buddy, Dylan.

Who knew the balloons would be such a big hit!

Hanging out on the front porch watching the kids bounce.

Lucy and Andrew checking each other out (he's about six weeks older than her).

Anna and her sweet friend, Finley.

After the guests left, we had lunch and Pop got to open up lots of new toys.

Then there was cake!

Jack got to open a special gift from Pop and Grammy - his own fishing rod and tackle box. Now he's ready to go fishing with Pop!

My boy LOVES puzzles!

This is Anna's first taste of gum ever - she obviously didn't know what to do with it!

Just a Typical Day

That's Woody on Lucy's head, just in case you don't recognize that cowboy hat!

Meanwhile . . .

Jack and Anna were just as busy bouncing from activity to activity while spending the week with grandparents. They went to feed the ducks and, unlike Sam, actually had ducks there to feed!

They also managed to snack on Krispy Kreme.

Though there were healthier options offered throughout the week.

They played dress up.

And even went on an Easter egg hunt in dress up clothes.

Ninny and Grandy took them to the park and they had a blast!

Later in the week they went to the Children's Museum and rumor has it, huge fits were thrown when it was time to leave because everyone was just having so much fun!

The kids also enjoyed church with Ninny and Grandy, Monkey Joe's, and dinner and feeding fish with Pop and Grammy, but no pictures of that. They enjoyed every minute of Spring Break for sure, and I'm so glad they got to spend time with all of their grandparents!
