Sarah's Birthday party

Today was cousin Sarah's birthday party. We went down to a place called "Pump it Up." It was really cool. It was a private party so we got to have each room to ourselves for about 40 minutes each. It was a place where kids (and adults) have tons of fun playing in bouncers. I think the adults had more fun than the kids.

Andrew had a blast jumping and going through the obstacle course. Grace had fun climbing up the steps to the big slide and going down. She wasn't scared at all and if we couldn't find her we would look over to the big slide and there she was. What an awesome little girl. I'll put some pictures up tomorrow. Tonight I am exhausted. We had a very long day.

Before we left for the party, Grace and I went to Costco and the grocery store. She was awesome. I usually dread taking her places like that because she usually doesn't sit in the cart but today she did. The only problem was at the grocery store because she wanted to hold the apples, not just in the bag but in a pile on her lap. Have you tried stacking apples on your lap lately? She dropped them numerous times throughout the store so right before we checked out we went back and grabbed another bag of apples to take home that we could actually eat. Then at the checkout of course she wanted out and I let her. She immediately grabbed the only thing at eye level....candy. I actually got her to put it back and no tears. Amazing! I very rarely give in to the whole candy thing...ask Heather, she's been with me numerous times. I usually let them get something at JoAnn's when I go buy scrapbook stuff. Not every time but sometimes b/c they are usually really good in there and it is definitely not a kid's store so I reward them. Anyway, hope you all had a wonderful Saturday. Check back for some pictures.
