Middle Child's Day 2013

I really wanted to celebrate this day.  We have a middle child.  I'll admit sometimes it seems that the oldest and youngest get the most attention.  Nichole is the first one to do most things and Jr. Jr. is still the baby even though he's not a baby anymore.  He gets a lot of attention.  Poor Jr. sometimes doesn't get enough attention.  But not today.  Today was his day.  Middle Child's Day, August 12.
So we celebrated.  We celebrated by letting him vacuum when he volunteered.

We celebrated by me reading a book to him, just him and me.

We celebrated by letting him play a Wii game of his choosing.

We celebrated by letting him pick the cart when we went shopping.
We celebrated by letting him get away with a few things.

We celebrated by going to a barbecue.  But not just any barbecue.  A barbecue for jugglers.
Look at this guy's face when he saw what some of the jugglers were doing.

It was so nice to go to the barbecue.  It felt like old times for Jeremy and me, just like being back in the juggling club at BYU so many years ago.  In fact one of the other people there was one of our former clubmates from YJuggle.  Good memories.

Jeremy and I both had the chance to juggle, since our kids were thrilled with the bounce house set up.

Our middle child enjoyed his day.  He especially liked going to the barbecue.  Here is what he said about it:
"The best part of my day is the barbecue.  The food, mostly the bouncy house, mostly watching the juggling, and mostly having fun."

Two out of the three kids were asleep by the time we reached home.  It's nice that they were tuckered out from having so much fun.

It was a good day.
