Grant turned 3 on Sunday. We had 100% Lightening McQueen gift giving. He's totally obsessed with the movie and was so excited about everything-even the underwear! Something tells me it won't be this easy every year.
He asked for waffles for dinner. Oddly enough, he was EXHAUSTED on his birthday and after the gifts at about 9 am, this was about the only other time that he smiled. Glad we got it on camera!
Every summer, the boys ask me to buzz their hair. This is the first year I've done Grant's hair and he looks so different. Hailey felt a little left out and asked if I would give her a summer haircut. I quickly put the clippers away!
Chris' parents came for 10 days to watch our kids while we went to Hawaii. She made each of them really cute pajama pants. They all love them!Chris and I went to Hawaii with some wonderful friends and brought each of the kids back a souvenir. Hailey got a hula outfit and went to town with it. She is watching her reflection in the t.v.
I well remember my pre-children days when I was a fabulous mom. Being a psych major, I pretty much knew how to raise a perfect child. That entailed no t.v., no video games, home schooling, and definitely NO TOY GUNS!! Don't we have enough violence in the world? It has taken exactly 9 years, but I've broken all of my rules and here are all four of my kids with Nerf guns in their hands. I can't wait to be a grandma...I'm going to be perfect at it! Dare to dream.
When I was young, my mom used to make a "spider web" out of string for my birthdays. Each child starts at the beginning and winds up the string until they get to the end where there is a prize. I always loved it and decided to do it for Carter's party. I sort of forgot that it isn't a lot of fun to army crawl on the floor while you're pregnant. I almost went into labor (at 15 weeks) doing this silly game. I better get a REALLY good mother's day gift!
