Lili's Big Girl Birthday

On October 7th Lili turned four. YES. FOUR. My baby sis, my Bud, my Chicky, is FOUR.
And since her birthday was two days after Audrey's oh so very late birthday party, Lili wanted a Big Girl Birthday too.

 

So at the end of Audrey's party we had cupcakes for Lili.

 

 I think she liked her presents.

She was also very thankful that we DIDN'T sing Happy Birthday. She HATES that song and it makes her cry. Seriously. So, for her birthday everyone yelled "HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILI!!" and that was that.

 

Happy Belated Birthday, Chicky!

If I seem to disappear...

If I seem to disappear for the next few days, it's probably because the power is out. Sandy is on the way and the wind is HIGH. So, I shall write after all of this lovely weather is over.

Audrey's 8 1/2 Birthday

So, back on the... 5th of October (I couldn't even remember the date on the day) Audrey had her Birthday Party.

Her birthday was back in February, but Livvy was born less than two weeks before then, so we postponed the party until the Summer, that way Audrey could have a pool party-which she had wanted anyway-but as usual in this house, summer came and went and guess what?

NO PARTY.

By August The Backyard Pool of the 8 was too cold to swim in and we got busy with fair and school.

Half way through September we finally set a date.

It would be a Rainbow-Themed Slumber Party with 9-YES NINE-girls, not including Audrey.

Craziness.

There were lots of things that Audrey wanted for her party, we ended up with:

• Burritos
• Decorate your own hot chocolate mug
• Epic games of Twister
• Barbies
• Played the Samantha the American Girl Mystery Game
• Watched a Movie
• Put on fake mustaches and tattoos

And they basically had NO SLEEP.

Trust me, I know I had to camp out down stairs.

Happy MAJORLY Belated Birthday Audj, LOVE YA!

Army Men and Planes

Army Men and Planes. That was the requested theme for Dominic's 6th Birthday Party that was back in September, and he got what he asked for.


They zip lined flew from place to place

 They tied balloons to their legs and tried to pop each other's balloons

 

 Dom's birthday party was small (four kids came over, and one of them was Audrey's friend). It was layed back and everybody was just there to play. In my opinion it was a great party.

And according to Dominic it was an awesome birthday party. 

 

I'm glad.

 

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BUD

HALLOWEEN PARTY 2012!

The little kids (and me, and mom and dad) went to a Halloween Party last Sunday, as I have already said in a previous post.  I promised pictures, so here they are:

 She can be an angel....

And a pinching demon....

 But EVERYONE loves a baby in a tutu playing with a pumpkin!

I think the costumes turned out pretty well, and they had fun at the party!

Oh This Weather...

It is September 1st  October 25th and as I write this post I am sitting on the Great Room floor, almost every window in the house is open, it is STUNNING outside and I am in a tank top and shorts.

This weather feels FANTASTIC.

Last week it was in the forties and rainy, not at all enjoyable.

Next week it's supposed to be down in the thirties.

The weather men are expecting snow.

And for that I am thrilled.

Seriously, I'm excited.

!!!!!SNOW!!!!!!

I love snow.

But yeah, that's the weather here. CRAZY.

Just thought I'd let you know.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

The moment your daddy tells you that you need to update the blog you NEED to update the blog.

As it is almost Halloween, Halloween costume ideas have been popping up around the house (which is a good thing, because the little kids have a Halloween Party tomorrow).

Audrey has decided to be Mia, the American Girl Doll.

She's planning on the outfit with the sweater.




Dominic is going to be a Black Knight...



And I'm not honestly sure how it's going to turn out, it will be good obviously, but he has come up with the design himself, so I don't have an example picture.




Lili had about 50 million different  costume ideas, but today she finally decided on Izzy from Jake and the Never Land Pirates.

 

 

 

You can expect pictures on how the costumes came out on Monday or Tuesday, so stay tuned!
