In the eleventh hour, I decided to see if any of my friends could come for a last minute birthday party for Cooper and Maddy. Initially it looked like it might be a big affair, but two last minute cancellations left us with Lisa, Sarah and their kids being the only ones able to join us.
Visit the toy library. Pick up loads of toys including one of their party packs - climbing structure with double slides, whirly rocker and two roller coaster tracks with cars.
Boys get haircuts.
I pick out birthday outfits for Cooper and Maddy. Oh, too much fun!
PARTY DAY :
Breakfast - I decide to frost the cupcakes, thinking no one will pay any attention as they are absorbed by morning cartoons...wrong. Check out the pics of Maddy and Cooper cleaning off the mixer and the spatula! Maddy then decided to clean off Cooper...oh he is in for a lifetime of mothering...sorry Pooper!
Maddy wears her "party skirt" and lets me take a bunch of pics :) But she will NOT let me style her hair in any way...
Lunch - a trip to see Santa, unsuccessful as we were not prepared for a long wait (no strollers) but we managed to pick up a few extras for the party...and we even made it back so the kids could ALL have a wonderful pre-party nap!
PARTY TIME -
The weather cooperated and we had a lovely dinner, loads of sugar, some choice cupcakes, and some good times.
The kids all played amazingly together and the only downer was when Declan slipped on our front yard marble tiles and tried to use a very large birdbath to keep himself on his feet, only to have the 30 pound basin crash into his head! We took tons of pics of Maddy the rockstar, Cooper, the urban homey and Wyatt in his new HotWheels t-shirt. As with all of our birthday parties in Oz so far - my kids end up in diapers running around saying "Naked Girl" and "Naked Boy."
Our babies are no longer babies. Bring on the terrible twos...I don't really mean that actually...
