Lots of Laundry and Fun



Laundry is the bane of my existence so I tend to ignore it. A Saturday a few months back I looked out into the back yard to see this. The girls had very carefully and sneakily taken all the clean twin size sheets outside to enhance their fort. Cute yes, fun for sure. I wish they had asked though because I would have given them the dirty sheets from their beds and mine that needed to be washed anyways instead of making an entirely new load of laundry for me. I told them to have fun and then they were doing the laundry. : )

Ariana's 5'th Birthday Party




This year Ariana decided she wanted a Tangled birthday party. We decorated with lots of lights, lanterns and streamers. Ariana decided she wanted her cake to look like a flag from Tangled. She picked chocolate cake and helped mix the batter. I made my own home made fondant to make the sun (my first personal expierence with the stuff) I think it turned out pretty good or at least it looked like the flag : ) The party started with water color painting, then watching some tangled movie clips from disney's website, reading a tangled book. Then playing pang the Flynn Ryder on the head (pin a frying pan on Flynn Ryders wanted poster). The girls loved this game. Next was lunch time with pizza, grapes, and pink lemonade. Another fun game was the Pascal party blower. The girls all decided Justin should be Flynn and chased him around trying to stick their "tounge" in Justin's ear. We then played a treasure hunt game to find the missing satchel. Time for Pinata which was our version of Maximus the horse. Ariana had a wonderful day. She kept telling me it was the best day ever all day. I love her so much and can't believe that she is already five.

Pretty Princess

We are starting not to dress up as much any more and it makes me sad. So when Ariana was invited to a princess party and was excited to be Cinderella I was thrilled to help her dress up. She was soo cute in her outfit, makeup and hair that I had to take pictures and a movie of her walking down the stairs like a princess.

Poor Sleepy Daddy

Working in CA since December and driving home on Friday's makes for a very tired Daddy sometimes. This was taken in March. He feel asleep before the girls and they each brought him something to snuggle. He held on and never knew it : )
