Recapping Boston's 5th Birthday!

Boston's 5th Birthday was October 27th. (and yes, I'm just now getting around to blogging it.)

On Boston's birthday, his Gammi took him to the circus. (that explains the tiger face) Then, we had dinner with the Cersey's at Boston's favorite restaurant of all time - Chick-Fil-A!!

Boston wanted to have his birthday party at his house. So, we rented a 5-in-1 inflatable jump house with a slide. I should have taken a picture of the whole thing because it was massive.
Boston also requested to smack a pinata at his party.

Boston's Gammi made him 2 cakes this year. One just wouldn't do, I guess.

The baseball cake was pretty cool, but the He-Man was the hit for sure. The candle in his forehead my favorite touch. (In case you are wondering, No, He-Man has not made a come back yet, but Boston LOVES him anyway.)

Bossy scored some sweet gifts, like this one from Aunt Shell.

Boys will be boys, I guess. Here's Caiden and Boston beating up on poor Henry. (thanks for being such a good sport, Henry.)

After a long day of crazy jumping, sliding, cake eating fun, we all started to poop out.

If course, I made him pose with me too.

After everyone left the party, we still had 30 minutes before the rental company came to take the jump house away. Me, Chris and Boston wore ourselves out till the bitter end. It was soooo much fun.

.... and then we crashed. Hard.

What a fun birthday!

Happy Halloween!

We carved pumpkins with the Ross family on Halloween Eve.

We all had a great time and I hope that we've started a joint family pumpkin carving tradition.
We are so proud of our artwork.

Julie came over on Halloween to hand out candy for trick-or-treaters that dared to knock at my door. Thank you Julie for making it possible for me to trick-or-treat with Boston. You are the best!

I painted Boston's face because he refused to wear the Evil Jester mask. Apparently, I created a Jester MONSTER!

It didn't take long before Boston smeared his makeup.

Trick-or-Treating with daddy and a witch! (Gammi) Her costumes are always impressive.

Boston's friends where trick-or-treating in style. Their parents were pulling them behind their golf cart and they gave us a ride for a while. We got candy twice as fast!
