Happy Faces

Another birthday in the books. Alexys turned eight years old today! Daddy was able to take the day off and we all got to play! Before school was out we took the little people costume shopping. Addysen changed her mind several times before deciding upon Tinkerbell. I felt that was a rather boring choice seeing as how she stared out wanting to be something totally different. I think being in the store was overwhelming for her. Having all of those costumes jumping out at her at the same time was making her little three year old brain hurt. So, she went with the familiar. The boys on the other hand, were having fun running around looking at all the scary decorations with the biggest boy! I think he was happy to have a kiddo that is finally interested in gross things. Brenden was laughing and pointing at the ghosts moving and making noise while poor Addy was trembling and practically pulling my pants off trying to cover her head. If she wasn't traumatized by that, the guy that pops out from underneath the table sure did the trick! It got Mommy too! I was thinking, "Hell no!" We were able to end our day at the jumpy place as Addy likes to call it. She kept saying, "Let's go pump it up!" We ran around that place for an hour and a half, Uncle Ty and Grandma included. We watched the little people go up and down the inflatable slide that was about 15 feet tall, over and over!! It was the best place for kids to play, they can not get hurt. Also, the BIG people get to play! We all had a blast, I can't remember when we all just played without arguing, and without hearing, "that's not fair!!" It was nice! Now, I need to get my Tylenol and heating pad ready!
