Sand Art Playdate back in August

Here are a few pics from a sand art playdate we had in August. It was a lot of fun but was hard to get pics so there are only a few.  I plan to let them play with the colored sand this week and do something fun with it on the lightbox. We have some little fruit shaped necklaces and bracelets left to do more sand art with this week too!

This Blog has changed.....

I have decided after much thought and time away that I would much rather turn this blog into my own personal blog. However I still want to have blogger guests, so I will!!

I hope my readers will still enjoy this blog as much as before, if not more!

My Twins have really blossomed into three year olds and every day is a fun and exciting challenge. They have become very amusing little comedians and are full of personality!

We have been enjoying the usual fun playdates and visits to places like the zoo, Science Center, parks, etc.
On top of that we took a trip to the Science Center one day with Grandpa. Cameron and Mackenna have been attending a really fun Summer Camp that goes from 7 am til 6pm M-F, We have been having the kona ice shaved ice truck coming to our playdates once a week, We attended a Gymboree art class as well as our regular Gymboree class, We went for frozen yogurt with friends at Menchies,  We have had friends over for playdates and swimming in the yard, Oh and not to forget, our home preschool group meets once a week!

3rd Birthday

Graham and Parker will be 3 on April 21st. Their birthday party was yesterday. The cake was an issue though.
I arrived at Publix at 9 am.  The cake was supposed to be ready. hmm, well they had a cake ready. The problem is. it was the wrong cake.  I was sp upset that all I saw was the red,  brown and the gray.

 I had a mild panic attack that that point.

I saw no animals.  I saw no lush green grass and flower patches.  I only saw the the drab looking cake for a second.

This is what the cake looked like that they tried to give me..............
It is not that bad but to me it looks liked hell.  However this is the Publix version.
The decorator's version of this cake was way darker, way more drab and depressing, and it looked like a sad and depressing birthday cake.

l.

 This is the cake I ordered........we did not get this exact version of the cake but the version we did get was decent.  See photo at the top of this post for the cake we received.

I had to spend an hour at the grocery store waiting for the replacement cake. The party did go well. Graham and Parker had a fantastic time too.  That is all that counts. I just hope Publix never messes up our cake order again. Not to be rude but the decorater they used needs to go take more decorating lessons. She is starting off with too dark of colors for one. The cake she tried to give me with the volcanoes and wrecked plane......it was so very dark and depressing looking. It was not for some depressing biurthday. It was for a Happy Birthday!!  Happy means bright colors to little kids.  I like to give bright colored things to little kids.

It makes them, well....happy!

Pics..........

We started the party off with an Easter Egg Hunt!! Instead of giving all of the children a goofy bag at the end of the party. They all recieved a plastic easter basket/pail and got to go on an egg hunt. They kept the pail and whatever eggs they collected...and the prizes inside!! They LOVED it!!

Here are a few shots of them opening some of their awesome presents!! They loved everything!!!

I gave them a few of mine early and they have one big one for their actual Birthday on the 21st!! Yay!!!

Happy Birthday Guys!!  Love You!!!
