Since we're not members of any organized mom groups, preschools or things like that (meaning we have no big groups of tiny friends), we're not yet jaded by the inevitable constant birthday party loop. The constant last minute buying of presents The spending your Saturdays eating crappy pizza and drinking fruit punch out of tiny paper cups. The mingling with other parents that you don't know but trade pleasantries with just because they're there. We know it's coming but we're just getting started. In fact, Gabe went to his first outside-the-home big kid birthday party this weekend. We all went because it was for John's bff's daughter. And thank jeebs, John went too, because I was achy and miserable so he got to be the one to get Gabe used to the big inflatable slides.
Sometimes I think he belongs in a JC Penney ad.
Maybe John too. Especially in this pose.
In no time, he was an old pro. I, on the other hand, have to duct tape my mouth shut so I don't go off children that aren't my own that don't know how to go down a slide without taking out 3 other kids.
Pause here to witness me dying.
Of the cuteness. Oh man.
This kid ran himself ragged. So ragged that his cheeks for all red and everyone commented that he sure would nap well. Well he didn't nap at all so thanks for jinxing us, a-holes.
Pizza's good, Mom.
This was just the start of our weekend full of fall family fun. Or is it family fall fun? Either way, I'm sure you haven't gotten your fill of kids in pumpkin patches yet. I'm sure your FB feed isn't full of them. Stay tuned for one more.
Oh and the winner of the Shutterfly giveaway was announced here!

This is why it's good you're revolutionizing the world of kid parties. Can I be honest? I dread going to kid birthdays. And you're settling for a JC Penney ad? I say aim for Crewcuts, or at least Gap, that kid is cute!
I agree with Emily. Your kid is seriously adorable. And that hubby is kinda adorable too. ;)
