Emmett has made his triumphant return home from my parents house. What does he do the moment he arrives home? I’ll give you 3 guesses but if you read this blog regularly, you’ll only need one.

That’s right, he strips down to his skivvies. Clearly, he has had all he could take of his clothes today.

I regret to inform you that as of 12am this morning the bouncy house is no longer with us. I was running around last night charging batteries and gathering blankets when I noticed. She just didn’t look the same. Even from a distance I knew something was wrong. She was all slumped over in the corner. My instincts kicked in and tried to resuscitate her with mouth to mouth.
