Brayden is 4!! His birthday is always bittersweet to me...I'm so happy he is growing up, but it is going by way too fast! This birthday was definitely one to remember, in both good and bad ways. At the beginning of September, I had booked his birthday party at a funhouse that took care of everything; cupcakes, food, drinks, supplies, decorations, balloon animals, etc. All we had to do was show up. This sounded good to me because I have plenty going on this time of year at work and with the two boys, there is not much time to do anything else. Well, to make a long story short, I found out last Thursday that the funhouse CLOSED for business earlier that week. They didn't call, email, nothing...I had to find out on my own! So, Thursday night Greg and I started party planning for Brayden's birthday party of 20 kids to be at our house on Saturday. Less than 48 hours!
Everything turned out great, thank goodness. The weather was perfect, so we were able to set up everything in the back yard. All of his friends came to help celebrate, and I think everyone had a great time. They made their own Batman themed masks, got Batman temporary tattoos, played pin the logo on batman, and even got to practice their target shooting at the Batman villans with our dart guns. And they played, played, played on the swingset and chasing each other through the yard. I must say, I was kind of impressed with the party we pulled together in 48 hours. Brayden told me that night his birthday party was "amazing" : ) That definitely made all the hard work and stress worth it!

It was quite an impressive party. Connor thought so, too, didn't he? My boys are growing up just like all my girls. Soon they will be looking after ME!
Y'all did a great job at the last minute with the party! Still can't believe he's four!
