Happy 8/8/8! We had a great day today! Jared was, surprisingly, off from work today. After their month out of town, they gave them a day off. He took Aidan on a Father/Son outing, and I got some great time to relax while Austin napped. Actually, I caught up on work. My new job is taking up more time than I originally anticipated. I'm not sure if it will taper off once I get more comfortable and used to the assignments, but I'm hoping so!
Yesterday was Aidan's birthday party for his friends. The party began as a disaster, but it ended with lots of fun! I had a hectic day of getting the house ready for the fifteen children under the age of four that were arriving at my house, and a doctor's appointment in the morning took me away from the house for two and a half hours. I accidentally left my ignition switch forward (I was using our car adapter compressor to blow up swimming pools), and drained my battery. When I went to leave to get the pretzels for the party, my battery was dead. Luckily, a nice neighbor lent me her car to run the errand. I arrived home to an enormous thunderstorms with gale force winds! I am not exaggerating when I say that the wind blew the 25 foot water slide (full of water) across our yard. Luckily, it didn't blow in to the fence or over it into the pond! The tent I set up to block the sunshine (like I needed that!) did blow away, and my friend and I went out with the lightning strikes and hurricane winds to retrieve it. We were like Laverne & Shirley trying to get the thing in my garage. It was hysterical, and at the end, we were soaking wet from head to toe! Luckily, the storm died down, and a lot of the kids were able to stay and play on the slide. Aidan had a blast, and in the end, it was all totally worth it!

Aww! That sucks after all that planning, but I'm so glad everyone ended up having fun and that you could laugh at it later. Love you :)
