Busy weekend - Jake's birthday party went GREAT

This past weekend was a busy weekend. On Saturday, we were at the car dealer for over 4 hours. We finally purchased a much needed second car, bigger with more leg rooms for everyone. Jake’s strollers and walker will be able to fit in the cargo area.

Then, Sunday was Jake’s birthday and he turned 5 years old. I went to get balloons right before the birthday party, who knew there was such a long line for balloons at Party City. I was online for almost 45 mins, I was worried I was going to miss Jake’s party. :-)

As I wrote in my previous blog, it was the first time we threw a party for Jake, so I especially was a bit nervous. But everyone came, about 30 adults and kids, and everyone had fun. We had swings for the kids, bubbles, some crafts, and lots of other toys. I really wanted to do some group games to get all the parents and kids involved, and we ended doing 2 games and everyone had a blast. Kids wanted more games but we had to cut the cake. After the cake, maybe it was the sugar, the boys went wild chasing after each other but that was expected right?!

Today we are having another little party with Jake’s class in his school. He goes to a school for children with special needs. His teacher, therapists, aids, and kids are so kind to him always, I am going to miss them all after this summer, because Jake is going to a new school starting September. A new chapter will begin and new relationships will blossom.
