a heated celebration.

my mini-he turned three on saturday!
so, we skipped our usual saturday routine and decided to check out my niece's school fair. mini-he's been obsessed with inflatable jumpers as of late. after being bounced around by olders kids last year, he came out traumatized and has never been in one since. still, he religiously watches you tube videos about them and claimed he was ready to brave it again. i was skeptical but still eager to try.
we waited over an hour, in 90 degree heat, for him to take that first step back into the bouncy house, and...
he did.
and loved it.
little did he know he had one waiting for him at home.

my denim shirt finally arrived. unfortunately, it's kind of heavy and thick. i seriously overheated. to-the-point-of-almost-passing-out miserable. i thought this was going to be my go-to shirt for summer,
but this is definitely one for cooler days.

My children love inflatable castles too! They love to bounce in it. I need to practically drag them out of it at times.

The shirt looks great, I love my denim shirt too. I used to love bouncy castles as a kid and would've loved to have one of my own, he's a lucky kid.

You and I always pick the similar stuff from VS. I have been eyeying that 'destroyed' shirt too but I have a very similar one so didn't buy it. Surprised they made it so thick. Last year I found the perfect denim shirt made from this super light and thin denim which works perfect for summer. Oh, well you will love it in fall.

Happy B-day to your son. My kids love jumpy's. My 2 year old has been going in them since she was 18 mos old and could care less if all around her older kids are bouncing and knocking her down. All the other parents always comment and worry for her but I keep telling them. she is the 2nd child and is tough as hell.
We are going to rent a big jumpy with slide combo I think for my son's 4th b-day coming up early June.
I love your photos with the balloons and jumping.
I promise to get my H&M post out today instead of an outfit post. :)

Too bad about the shirt, denim is just really not warm-weather friendly. What a great mum you are, getting him an inflatable bouncy thing! The photo of you bouncing around is priceless :D
