His teacher made it a point that if he wanted to invite friends, he had to invite the whole class. So. We did. I was a little bit afraid no one would show up and absolutely terrified they ALL would. How many did? ONE. She brought along her 2 sisters (one a year older, one a year younger), and baby brother who is Andrew&#8217;s age. A friend of mine from high school brought her daughter and with the 7 kids total, I was exhausted at the end. I cannot even imagine the chaos that would have been a bigger party! Boy! I bow down to you super mamas. <\/p>\n<p>Like, I said, though, &#8217;twas fun! So fun, I didn&#8217;t snap any photos until my kids <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/5774616038\/\">were<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/5774076947\/\">opening<\/a> gifts. ooopsies! You&#8217;ll just have to trust me when I say the kids had a terrific time in the <i>moonwalk<\/i>. Nathan partied &#8217;til he puked. That&#8217;s right. He lost his lunch after a bunch of jumping in 90-degree heat. Luckily, his friends were gone already, so only me and grandma witnessed it. We forced him into a chill-out period in his bedroom. He was drenched in sweat and looked awful. After about 2 hours of cool down, he couldn&#8217;t help himself and came back down and jumped some more until we turned the moonwalk off.  <\/p>\n<p>Sorry for the puke story. I gotta keep it real!<\/p>\n<p>ANYWAY. I am SO GLAD IT&#8217;S OVER. And I&#8217;m also glad that it was a party for both kids and I don&#8217;t have to repeat it all in a few months. I can rest until next May. I don&#8217;t care about any events except my boys&#8217; birthdays! That&#8217;s the mom life for you.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I have time to do more goodknits related stuff.
