Fun with chalk

Yesterday the kiddos were playing with sidewalk chalk and it got wet. Did you know that it turns into a kind of paint when it's wet? Pretty fun for them, and me!

Happy Birthday Baby!

Today my sweet A turned 2. She woke up so happy and we told her Happy Birthday! She was just so excited to be the birthday Princess (Pincess) all day too! We went to the store, took S to swim lessons, came home and had lunch then went to the pool. After swimming we had pizza, cake and ice cream and she and S crashed! It was a good, good day.

Happy Birthday to my sweet girl. You are such a joy and an angel in my life. You make each day so fun! I love how sassy and sweet you are, how much you love your Daddy and brother, and how you take care of all of us. You truly are the light of my life. I love you baby girl!

I LOVE these kids!

We let A open her birthday presents tonight. J has to go into work early in the morning and I can’t stand making her wait all day Here are a few pictures. They crack me up. She and her baby have matching dresses, but you can’t see hers. She wouldn’t try it on. It shouldn’t surprise me, my children rarely wear anything I make for them. Oh well, they sure are cute!

Oh, and S went for a walk tonight wearing the shoes and carrying the purse. He is such a nut. The funniest was when he would run. I about peed my pants!

He is officially 4!

Here is a great slide show of the boy's 4th birthday! Enjoy :)

Where Does the Time Go?

Yesterday my Bub turned 4. When Jer asked him how it felt to be 4, he looked down at himself, looked at us very confused and announced, "Wait! I'm still the same size!". Poor kid thought he was going to magically be bigger on his 4th birthday!!!

He had a great day though. We had a party planned for him with all his friends, but, A woke up on Sunday morning throwing up and continued throughout the day and into Monday morning. So, we've rescheduled it for tomorrow. At first he was really upset because he thought that meant he wouldn't have a birthday on Monday. Once we explained that it would still be his birthday, and we could do other things, he was much better with it. We're sad because a few of his friends can't make it on Wednesday, but it's better than getting everyone else sick!

So, we had a treasure hunt for his presents in the morning (a great way to start off a Pirate birthday!), had pirate pancakes, went to the grocery store (what a trooper..on his birthday even!), had lunch at McDonald's (one of the 2 times a year we go), went and saw Kung Fu Panda, then came home, played outside, had a spaghetti dinner and cake and ice cream. He told me it was the best birthday ever.

He's such a sweet boy and I am so lucky to be his Mom. Here are a few photos of my boy, with the last ones being of his birthday.
