Last year we made a stay cation purchase of the large inflatable water slide.
This year we set it up for Brady’s third birthday part last Saturday.
We invited friends and family.
We drank, we ate and we drank.
But mostly, we watched the kids tire themselves out completely.
It was fantastic.
They ususally wake up around 7am without complaint for a work/school day.
I let them sleep in until they woke on Sunday. Brady got up at 8:45. Carah at 9:30.
It was heaven. Mickey Mouse heaven.



Yup. He's painting his nails with vanilla ice cream. Chocolate would have been tacky.

Brady's new school desk. Swoon!
can you see the love in his eyes?

In order to prolong Brady’s special day and to not add to the craziness of his party we had a special family only gift opening party before the day began.
Breakfast was digesting and I still had my glasses on it was so early. Too early for pictures. But he will only be three once.
his new dinosaurs await his next gift
dart guns, first one shot was the cat. In the face.
Elmo. He puffy hearts him.
his current best friend
Carah was amazing and waited so patiently!

How many Kesslers does it take to assemble a toy?
This game is seriously not made like it was when I was a kid. Cheap. Plastic. Crap.
