In the bounce house celebrating Julia Claire's 2nd Birthday 

Sweet little friends eating cake

All the kids lined up by the bounce house 

Love these two girls - Julia Claire, my god child and her mommy 

This girl had fun - so much fun that she didn't want to leave so we skipped party #2 and left her at Claire's house for the afternoon 

Caleb finally got his basketball goal that he "got" for his birthday back in May! 

Me and my boy playing horse 

Claire sent me this picture of the "after" party - all the girls still hanging out eating Chick-fil-A 

Me and Caleb headed to party #3 - Grayson's 8th Birthday Party - Caleb enjoyed the afternoon playing with some of his friends from school 

Our last party of the day - celebrating Josh's Birthday at The Pit in Raleigh.  We had a great night hanging out and laughing with these friends.  We ended the night getting ice cream at Goodberry's and were stuffed!!

Side Note - This was my first "regular" week back in a routine in a month - since dad went into the hospital on October 1st. It was one of the longest of my life.  Halloween seems forever ago!
