Campbell's 8th birthday bash!

Friday night we had a tailgate birthday party for Campbell. He was able to pick 3 friends to come to Daddy's FB game and to sleep over. WOW boys sure do have a lot of hyper energy! I'm waiting with excitment at the bus stop for the boys to get off the bus and all of a sudden I see 3 screaming boys run right past me, up the sidewalk, and into the back yard to jump on the trampoline. Right then I was not sure what I signed up for! So I calmly go to the back yard and try to gently remind them of a few trampoline rules. Now I wasn't intending to spoil the fun but I didn't want to call any parents saying we were at the emergency room! I look out the back window and this is what I see........





I ask myself "do I remind them again or just get down on my knees and PRAY for protection." It is so hard to find the balance of just letting them have fun but helping them stay safe. Praise the Lord all went home today with no broken bones. Just 1 bleeding finger, 2 bruised heads, and alot of sweat and dirt!

So we get to the game and we have our little party on the practice field. The boys had fun running and playing football, eating some pizza and cupcakes, drinking pop(what was I thinking) check out this picture........






The boys had a great time cheering for the Chiefs. It was an exciting game. We went into double overtime and WON 35-34. We blocked the extra point! Yeah!!!! Here are some more pics of the game and my hubby coaching.......







I think I was cramping his style in this one!

We ended the night all tucked in up in the loft and watched a movie til they all fell asleep (finally at 1 am)


This morning good ole daddy got up at 5 am to pick up dunkin donuts for breakfast before he went off to work. Campbell told me this afternoon..."Mom this was the best birthday party ever! Even my friends told me so!" I love this boy. Well, I'm exhausted and ready for a nap!
