We just replaced the tramp mat...surprised it didn't break again.

Elsies TOY DRIVE birthday party.

I invited everyone and donated all the toys to Toys For Tots. (i didn't need anymore toys).

I borrowed some mats from the gym. The kids did crazy stuff off the tramp, onto the mat, on the little tramp and into the bounce house.

Its a MIRACLE that the only injury was a cut foot.

My dad made this thing. It was supposed to be pull up bars. It was 12 feet tall!! I tried to swing on it and it felt like it was going to tip over. He stared at it for a hour, trying to figure out how to tie it to the house etc...knew Eric wouldn't go for it...so...

he cut it in half. Great for kids to climb on and work pull-ups.

Slackline. I put mats under it and some of the kids could actually do it!

Elsie cut her hair. (see next post) she doesn't always keep the flowers in like shes supposed to.

(she got some cute ones for her party)

Do you see that 2 of Trakes friends have BROKEN ARMS!

Don't tell me kids don't get out and play anymore. One fell off his bike the other off a motorcycle.

There they are with their broken arms. The castle held up well. The little boys were getting pretty beat up but didn't cry one bit b/c they loved playing with the older kids. If you need your son toughened up a little- send him over

The party was right before Christmas (Halloween cups were on clearance).

I figured donuts to be cheaper than cupcakes(Bashas buy a dozen get 6 free).

I made 200 or so cookies form the Costco mix. LOTS OF SUGAR.

Do you see how much I simplify with 4 kids...if your tired pretend like you have more kids than you do.
