Busy weekend!

Last weekend was a rather busy weekend for us! It all started on Saturday with Allie attending her first real, big kids birthday party at the home of Oscar, one of Allie's classmates. Oscar is just a couple of weeks older than Allie, and they have been going to school together since last June....when they were both babies that were still crawling! Now they are big kids....and Oscar had a big kids party!

It was complete with face painting.....


and balloon animals! (Allie requested a red giraffe, which unfortunately was only short lived....it soon popped!).


And Allie had a great time pushing the stroller of Oscar's big sister, Emma. (Yes, that is a soccer ball in the stroller....no baby available in Oscar's backyard).


There was also a very fancy swing set complete with a baby swing and a giant slide that Allie just had to play on. And finally, a gift bag with a great Thomas the Train book and a little plastic boat that Allie MUST have with her in the bath every night! We had a wonderful afternoon....thanks for the invite, Oscar!

As for Will, he not only had a busy weekend, he had a busy week last week too! The little guy began crawling on Thursday, May 6th, and boy, you should see him go now! He's all over the place....and everywhere he shouldn't be (like behind the chair, trying to go up the stairs, etc, etc.). There is video to document his crawling, but I've been pretty lazy about getting all of our videos edited and put online for viewing....oh well, someday.

Will also cut two new teeth in the last week. He sure will look funny with 4 little chompers! He also got his big boy high chair last week! Our dining room looks pretty funny with two dining chairs and two high chairs at the table....but, Will seems to like his new high chair!




On to Sunday, Mother's Day....

Our Sunday began as usual by going to breakfast at our local spot. We then came home with one goal for the day....move Will from the nursery area that just outside our master bedroom downstairs into his own BIG BOY ROOM! So we did! We moved him downstairs to the bedroom next to Allie! It does seem a little quiet and lonely upstairs now, but after 2 years of having a baby upstairs with us, David and I are glad to have OUR space back. Will's big boy room is a little bare now, but in time, I'll get it decorated....and who knows, maybe I'll get to decorating Allie's room someday too!





After getting Will's room moved downstairs, the babes took a nap and then we headed off for a walk to the park with Grandma (PawPaw stayed behind for his afternoon nap on our couch!). There was lots of swinging and sliding and wanting to play in the sand (Mommy doesn't like the sand, so we reserve sand time at the park for when Allie makes the trek with the babysitters). On our way back from the park, we decided to stop by our local bar-b-que joint for a nice, cold drink (and to feed the babies their dinner). Little did we know that there would be a blues duo jamming on the patio! Allie just had to dance.....and when Allie dances, EVERYBODY DANCES! (Well, except for Mommy who's trying to take pictures!)





And, of course, my Mother's Day was complete with beautiful flowers and cards!
