I am getting so behind and my Mom is here to remind me of that everyday! It is time I catch up at least a little bit. We celebrated Claire's birthday in Bismarck with my sister Lisa and her family. It was great fun. I spent the day taking care of my nieces and nephew and having loads of fun as Claire enjoyed a day entirely for her! Our day began at Space Aliens Restaurant for food and fun. Luke and Olivia earned enough tickets to give Claire and Mya each an inflatable Dora doll. They were so excited to give them their little present and the girls were pretty thrilled to have Dora. Poor Luke, the asthmatic, was called upon to blow up the dolls. We then headed over to the amusement park for some Super Slide fun. It is an extra large slide where you sit on rugs to slide down. It was great fun for all! The little girls enjoyed the swings and inflatables, while Luke and Olivia douced each other with a water balloon catapult. We went back to Lisa's for some relaxing, followed by Luke's baseball game and pizza, presents and cake. It was a lovely day!
So, we are still roughing it in our amazingly, wonderfully fabulous, new house. That means, air mattresses in our living room. Fun. The girls love it, Chris and I not so much ;) Anyway, the close proximity means Chris and I get to eavesdrop on some very tender moments. They seriously bring tears to my eyes. How did we get so lucky to have them as our children??? Here's one example. Claire--"Mya, can we snuggle?" Mya--"sure." Claire--"don't let go." Mya--"No, I'll just wait until you are sleeping." Claire--"No, you wait until the middle of the night." Mya--"Okay, I'll wait until the middle of the night." Then we hear lips smacking. So cute. I won't share the meltdown that occured moments before this sweetness ;) Life isn't always rosey, now is it? Ha! In other news..we get internet today and our furniture/things tomorrow! That means 1 more night of "roughing it!" Yippee!
