Party Weekend

This past Saturday we went to a 1st, a 3rd and an 80th birthday party. The 1st and 3rd celebrations were at the same party, our friends Pat and Karen's little ones are just over a week apart so there was one big party for Rylan and Brynn. The babies had a blast outside at the party! Casey was soooo excited watching Daniel blow bubbles, he was squealing with delight. It was hilarious to watch him!



Maggie also liked the bubbles, not to watch or chase them, but rather to suck on the wand and blow bubbles in her mouth. She was so funny, she would stick the wand in the bottle of bubbles, put it up to her mouth as if to blow on it but then stick it in her mouth and suck all of the bubble stuff off. Then when she would open her mouth bubbles would come out. We looked on the bottle and it said non-toxic but then it also said do not drink. I wonder if sucking it off the wand is considered the same as drinking it?



Mitchell had a lot of fun outside too, but he kind of bounced around. He would be interested in the bubbles for a while, then go check out what the big kids were doing, then say hi to Thomas the cat in the window, then take advantage of his freedom and run around.



The babies got helium balloons to take home from the party and those were a major source of squealing fun when we got home. Thanks for the great party Pat and Karen!

After we left the kids party we went off to my aunt's 80th birthday celebration. We visited for a while and then there was a short program where the babies were pretty good for most of it. Mitchell almost fell asleep on Uncle Jody while Maggie and Casey chowed down on grapes with Grandma and Grandpa.

We got their pj's on and headed home after a couple of hours. I was surprised we were able to stay as late as we did seeing as that party started at 7:30, which is when the babies usually go to bed. It was around 10:00 when they finally crashed. Daniel made a comment another weekend when they were up late, asking me where the schedule Nazi went. I assured him not to worry, she's just takes a night off every now and then.

The next day we went over to Gail and Dave's for brunch. Dave brought out some hats for the babies to play with and they had fun trying them all on. Maggie laid claim to this bright green hat that perfectly matched her outfit.


Mitchell and Casey liked this Darth Vader Roughrider hat.


It was a very busy, but fun weekend. It was nice to see some of my extended family that we don't get a chance to see very often.

The babies are all over their colds and back to their normal selves again. Although Mitchell is now getting his eye teeth which seem causing him a fair bit of grief. We have been super busy here the past few weeks. We finally got a new computer after spending a fair bit of time with the old one and then finding a new one we wanted. I have been sorting and tagging things for the twin and triplet sale that I'll be at Friday night and Saturday. And then of course the big task of getting things packed and sorted for our move. My parents are going to take the babies to their place on Sunday, we have movers booked for Monday, we'll hopefully get settled in at our new place, come back to clean here and then have the babies back on Wednesday. We're curious to see how they adjust to living in a different house. I'm sure it won't take them long once they realize all of their things are there.
