Going crazy....

On Saturday, D told us after lunch that we were going to go crazy. Last weekend, that meant getting ice cream, but yesterday D&M had different plans for us. We went out to the event center and found a castle on ice and dancing stars!

C and I shared a snow cone in a fish and some popcorn in souvenir buckets while we watched all our favorite friends dancing on ice.

The Grand Finale!

It was a great afternoon of going crazy!

Enjoying the show. We clapped after every song and danced to the music.

Bouncy castles

Saturday morning we went to a friend's birthday party at a bouncy castle gym. It was lots of fun. There were 3 castles, 2 slides, four game stations, a climbing wall and a playhouse for the littler kids.

C was a little afraid of the bigger kids, but she found a few castles to bounce in.

It was a sibling birthday. 2, 4 and 6 within 3 weeks of each other. The older two were friends at Y school with me last year and weekend playmates now that they've moved down to the valley.

It was a great birthday party.

Green Patrick's Day

On St. Patrick's Day, we decided to eat all things green. M added food coloring to our pizza dough. C and I helped her roll out the green pizza.

Our finished product! D ate it without looking at his piece because he said it looked like mold, but it tasted really good.

Since it was such a beautiful day outside, we had a picnic lunch outside. Can you believe it....70+ degrees on St. Patrick's day?

For supper M made us green eggs and D grilled ham steaks.

The day started off with us enjoying our backyard and the balloon that happened to be in the neighborhood.

C's favorite show lately is Dora. She loves stopping Swiper from taking all of Dora's stuff.

The week leading up to St. Patrick's Day we made lots of green things at school. The teachers also reminded us to wear green so that we wouldn't get pinched. With all the emphasis on green, I misunderstood what the name of the day was.
So happy Green Patrick's Day everyone!

Big Girl Bed

C is trying to transition to her big girl bed. It is quite exciting, so sometimes when she gets out of bed too many times, she ends up back in her crib. But she is trying and begs most nights to start out in the big girl bed.
On the down hill side of sleeping in the crib.
The first complete night of sleeping in the big girl bed.

I was helping C get used to her bed.

Aqua Sand

For my birthday last summer, I got a art project called Aqua sand. We finally got it out to play. M was really awed by it. She can't explain how it works, but it is really cool. The sand repels water. So when it floats on top the sand is still dry. When you get it down into the sand, the sand sticks together and the water forms pillars around it. Very cool.

C and I have some fun times playing with it, because once we get done dumping it into the water and building different sand dunes, you just dump the water and collect the sand to reuse.
