The keeping the fingers crossed paid off and we ended up with a warm sunny weekend for James’ birthday party!  Phew!   We were taking a risk by having it at home again this year, but it the sun gods were good to us yet again.  🙂 James is addicted to soccer, so that was the theme of the day.   We rented a huge jumpy house that had a basketball net and a slide inside that we put in the front yard and set up the soccer nets in the back.    The kids (including me and Derek) had a blast in the jumpy house.

The extra excitement of the day was two loose teeth that finally came out this day.  You can chalk it up to all of that bouncing…oh and a pair of tweezers that Jacob decided to let James use to help his out the rest of the way since the bouncing wasn’t doing the trick!  Eeek!  Here they are showing off their new grins!

This was a whirlwind weekend for sure.  I was in Raleigh for work the entire week before, only getting back on Friday evening.   Saturday was running around doing all of the last minute shopping and making the cake, Sunday the party and then I had to pack up again to be back on a plane at 6:20am  Monday morning for another week in Raleigh.  Crazy! …but you have to be back for the birthdays!  🙂
