party 3

we did gifts inside, i tried to keep it calm, but that cant happen with 6 kids. haha this is the only pic i got. jon, jess and copper left after gifts and we then move on to the cakes!

2 and 4
9 and 9

ellie was so excited

paw patrol cake! she really is 4 now! haha

for q and n's gift we sent them to day camp. yesterday morning cry and i dropped them off all happy and loving

i picked them up crying and tired. they didnt have a great first day. after talking to the counselors we decided to send the boys back today and pray for a better day today!

last night nate fell a part. like lost his mind. i now get what ive been told is how kids act when they come home from school. bec i home school we havent been exposed to it. ive decided to send nate back bec i choose not to shelter him but instead give him opportunities to learn how to handle himself in situations that cause him to be uncomfortable, or to show respect to authority that he doesn know. i want him to grasp how to handle difficult people, and to expose him to life! i dont want to bubble wrap him, he needs this experience to help him mature more!

and a huge thanks to those who supported me mon night. there is nothing better than to have friends that you can be raw and vulnerable with, who support you and dont judge. can i get an AMEN! ha

joey in the car waiting to pick the boys up. shes such a little girl now! sob sob
