Birthday Eve

Monday we had lots of running around to do to get ready for the big day.  I got all the kids all dressed up, picked up Anna, and took them to school.  It’s school pictures this week, so I brought my three early to get their pics made together.  (I’d have done it on Tuesday, but I didn’t want to mess with it on party day.)  I think they did a great job – I’m excited to see the pics!  Anyway, after we dropped of Anna and Joanna, we came home and met Pop so he could fix the door on our TV cabinet.  Yay Pop!  Then we headed to the grocery store.  I think this may be the first time I’ve gone with just Natalie and James to the store.  (pssst… I don’t like it.)  They did really good.  James was melting, but Natalie was a very sweet helper and big sister.  As soon as we passed the balloons, James got so excited, so I got one for him.

He is desperately in love with his red balloon.

Violently, gloriously, in love.

It’s an obsession actually, and I had to remove it to the pantry before his birthday.  And I decided to not make balloons a part of the décor.  :)  He just would not have been able to help himself.

He found it’s sad little droopy self today, crawled over a wadded up comforter to get to it, and loved on it for a bit.  It might have been the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.

So up next (or tomorrow or whenever I get to it) are pictures from the birthday!
