Amir and Conner's Birthday Party

In June, two of Charlie's school friends had a birthday party at Pump It Up.  Marc was on the road at a show, so Rosie and I went along for the fun.  We arrived and Charlie took off with his friends - I got very few pictures of him.  But Rosie stuck close to me and bounced away.

 

  

 

 

When we went to the second room, Charlie stopped bouncing and with his friend Rinky, started building with these huge blocks.

 

 

         

  

 

By the time we left I had two tired, sweaty kids.  It was a successful party!

"School Friend Charlie's" Birthday Party

Rosie has two Charlie's in her life - her brother and her "School Friend Charlie." And School Friend Charlie had a bouncy house birthday party.

Rosie only went down the slide once.  She enjoyed it, but had the been there, done that attitude.

Most of her time at the party was spent bouncing.

Or eating.  Cupcakes were gooood.

Happy birthday Charlie!

Emma's Birthday party

Charlie and Rosie have both been in class with sweet Emma.  Currently she is in Rosie's class and her teachers tell me that Rosie just loves Emma.  Follows her around and pets her arm and back and says her name over and over - MMM-MA! MMM-MA!  Emma is very patient and lets her. It is so funny, though, because the two are in the same gymnastics class and don't interact with each other at all. But both girls are very attached to their parents, so maybe we get in the way? Who knows. 

All that to say that we were thrilled to get invited to celebrate Emma's birthday.

The party was at Pump-It-Up, and although Rosie has been there before she really discovered the slide this time.  And would have exclusively gone up and slid down for the entire two hours if we would have let her.

 Charlie enjoyed it, too, and loved getting hugs from Miss Athena

 I even relinquished the camera and had a few turns

Charlie had the most fun, though, in the ball arena.  It helped that Daddy was there to make it even more fun.

 Rosie even gave it a try
