The girls had their friend birthday party on Saturday at the gymnastics place again this year. That is such a fun place to have a party and look, my house is still clean. (hee, hee) We all ran and played and talked. Maddie was so independent this year at the party. She is growing up too fast. The best part is the bungee jumps that the birthday kids got to do. The parents wanted to pay to get a chance to jump, but it is only for the birthday kiddos. Mark could launch them so high. It looked awesome!! Maddie's face was lit up each time. We were so blessed to have their great grandmother here to share in the party. After we went back to my house for a family dinner and presents. We are still enjoying the fun and chaos of summer. The kids don't start school until September 10. The other day the kids played in the slip and slide with the neighborhood kids while I planted the new shrubs in the front yard. I'll take some pictures.
