Max's Birthday Weekend - Part 3

When Max has a birthday, the party is half for him, and half for the adults...ok, it's mostly for the adults, but the kids nearly outnumbered us this year (and they all had a blast!). Before the party, Max's cousins got dressed up, so I made them pose for me. Hey, never pass up an opportunity to practice your craft, right?




Then Reagan wanted to have her picture taken...


PHOTO BOMB by Auntie Erica!!!


Colleen doesn't really do themed parties (I don't blame her one bit...I'm also NOT a planner...which is why Lynsey should host all our kids' birthdays from now on:), but she did coordinate the plates/utensils with the Carolina Hurricanes cake, so that counts. 


And she had one happy birthday boy!


Uncle ben was swarmed by all the kiddos as usual.  I think he was handing out ice to all of them.


Grammy Jill introduced Savannah to the wonders of balloons! And she loved them!


E.T. is so creepy. Especially with Max squeezing his eye.


The spread was excellent. Who could complain about Chik-Fil-A platters?!


And the bounce house was a huge hit with all the children!


Max got pretty good at telling everyone how old he is.


While Max and the boys played...


...Reagan hid in the ManBana and checked out the giant remote control. Weirdo.







Please click on the picture below and see the line of spit coming from Max's mouth as he blows out his candle. This is awesome! Kids are so gross. 




Again, Uncle Ben was forced to entertain the children.





And what kind of 3-year old's party is complete without a hit of moonshine or two?!



Unfortunately, there is no evidence that Colleen or I actually attended this fabulous party! Guess I need to hand over the camera more often and force Colleen into the shots too! So much fun to celebrate these events with such amazing friends. Love you Maxwell Lewis!

NC Girls' Weekend

Image
Since Jason is out of town, we decided to schedule an impromptu girls weekend visit in North Carolina. It was great to see Lynsey & Colleen and their families. Jessica, the girls and I drove down Friday night and got to Lynsey's just before midnight. We didn't do much, but hang around the house and play outside on the first day. It was relaxing and fun. Brian was awesome and played with the kids while Jess, Lynsey & I did a workout in their amazing home gym. Colleen came up with the boys around lunch time on Saturday. All the kids fawned over Miles, or as they have names him, Baby My My. I think Savannah really enjoyed not being the youngest for a few days. Saturday night, we ordered pizza, ate way too much, and Grammy Betty came over. We haven't seen her in a long time and it was wonderful to chat with her again.  The next day, we woke up to some snow! We played outside again and the kids played well together which was nice for us adults. Colleen and the boys ...

Bath Time Fun

Image
Typically, after Jason gets home and eats dinner, he is on bath duty. It gives me 10 minutes to clean the kitchen, set up his coffee and make his lunch for the following day. One day last week though, everything was already done, so I snuck in to watch the fun. We recently got some Mr. Bubbles for Reagan and she LOVED them. She's such a cheeseball!

Bath Time: PAHM Style

Image
I've mentioned it before, but I will say it again: I love Play At Home Mom !!! This site is the best for ideas to interact with, engage, and teach your children. Reagan takes a bath almost every night. She has the typical assortment of toys (rubber boats, cups, a turtle, etc) to entertain her, but lately, she just leaves them in the bag. I decided to introduce some new things during bath time and they were a huge hit! Here are some pictures from our "adventures in bath fun." First up: BUBBLES ! It's a bit too cold to just hang out in the yard blowing bubbles, so I decided that bath time would be the perfect opportunity for a mess free bubble party! I LOVE this shot.  Secondly, (and straight from PAHM), I added: WATER BALLOONS !!! She absolutely loved when I poked a small hole in them and they became "water fountains!"
