Birthday Weekend

My whole family came in from Oklahoma to celebrate the kids' 3rd birthday, it was such a wonderful, perfect weekend! Unfortunately, our cameral died right before the kids' party, so my neice Cameron played photographer and snapped some great pictures. I can't find them at the moment but will post some later. Here are a few pics of our great weekend.

Smores!

Working at the car wash - yeah!

Lately I have been searching for fun stuff for the kids to do at home, one of the ideas I found on a blog was to have our own car wash. So I filled up a container of soapy water, gave the kids each a spray bottle, and they proceeded to wash their race cars. They loved it and it kept them entertained for hours and kept me busy running back and forth to fill their container. So fun!

Showing some love

Daniel giving his sissy some love and checking out her owie. He's so sweet!

Movie Night

The kids have just recently gotten into watching movies and Toy Story is their current obsession, so before we got the movies for their birthday, TS2 was coming on TV on a Sunday night and I told the kids all weekend that we were going to watch and eat popcorn - they were so excited! I make air popped popcorn so they love to stand there and wait for it it come out and jump up and down and scream when it pops. I put a sheet down on the chair since I put butter on the popcorn and just let them go to town - they loved it!

Waffle Chips Anyone?

This was from a few months ago, I am not really sure how to explain it except that Daniel stored some chips in the waffle iron and kept coming back for them until they were gone. It's tough being a twin sometimes, they really do have to share everything, maybe he just wanted these chips all to himself? Not sure what goes on in his head, but isn't he adorable?

My Birthday Weekend

My mom came in for my birthday this year which was really special since I don't think I have seen her on my birthday since I moved here. Something about having kids makes it so much more special too. We had such a great time, Saturday night Chris and I actually got to have a date night while my mom put the kids to bed, that is the first time we have ever been able to do that, it was great! It was freeeeezing cold outside but we braved it and had a nice dinner and saw a really good movie, what a treat!
On Sunday, we had a little party for me at our house, the kids had a blast of course and I got some really cool gifts, one of which was a Daniel Faraday bobble head from the Duran's, he is one of my fave characters from the greatest TV show on earth - LOST! Here he is standing next to my birthday cake that my mom and I made, it is supposed to be a purse. Yes, we are keeping our day jobs.
