Because of baseball, swimming lessons and who knows what else, we didn't hold Erik's friend party until June 28! Yes, I struggle a bit. But it certainly didn't disappoint! I love that my girls help me with all the fun details. It makes the event more of a family thing and they are so good and helpful! Elise especially gets right in there and helps the kids go down the slide and whatever else

And then, later that evening... Austin was jumping on the tramp with a new neighbor friend. The kid landed on Austin's shoulder and broke it. Erik broke a bone in his foot last year and Austin is the second broken bone in the family. Not a surprise on Erik, big surprise on Austin. Poor kid! I tried to take his shirt off and he screamed in pain...that's how I knew it was time to get George. Austin is not real dramatic and really did pretty well with the whole thing.
