La Fiesta...

So here are the pics from Erin and David's birthday party. They had a ball playing party games with their friends and opening presents. I made a Dora cake for Erin and a Diego cake for David. Their Abuela came from Mexico for the occasion and brought some clowns that she made and filled with candy as party favors. After the party they played with their new toys all day long. It was a really fun day.

Capture the "everyday"...

I have to remind myself to photograph or capture the "everyday" things that the kids do. So I just had to post this video of the kids playing together. At least once a day they have these little moments where I'll catch all 3 of them playing really well together. I was lucky to have the camera in my hand at the time.

Project: Closet...

I finally got the kids closet organized! If anyone ever tells you that you can't fit 3 kids into the same room comfortably, don't believe them. It CAN be done. We have done it for a while (10 months) but I just now got the closet organized enough to have all of the kids' stuff in the same closet. It took a long time, a lot of work, and the help and motivation of my friend Cynthia, but it's done! It looks like less clothes in the picture than are really there, but check out the hangers to get an idea of just how many clothes we were able to shove in there.

Happy Birthday David!!!

David turned 3 last week. So now we have two 3 yr. old's in the house. It's fun to say, "raise your hand if you're 3!" and have both Erin and David raise their hands excitedly. This will only last for 5 weeks of course until Erin's birthday, but it is fun for now. David thinks he is so big because he is the same age as his big sister. I explained to them that they are not regular twins but that they are in fact Irish Twins. They kind of got it.

We didn't do much on his actual birthday because we are having a party for both of them soon. But he did get his birthday breakfast that day and I made him a cake that night.
He looks so old in that picture. I can't see any baby in him anymore.

On their birthdays I can't help but think back to the adventure it was when they were babies. I can't imagine having done anything differently. I love being a mom to these kids! So here's a quick trip down memory lane...

Happy Halloween!!!

I love Halloween. We went trick or treating in the afternoon at my work. And then again at night around the neighborhood. I think they were really tired by the end of the day because they sure didn't seem very excited the last part of the night. I joked with Cynthia that I might have to give them energy drinks next year before trick or treating so that they will be able to run from house to house all night and be as excited about Halloween as I am. So here are the pics of my little Dora, Diego, and Boots...

Free stuff!

Okay, so I usually don't do this, but I just couldn't resist taking one of those pics of all of the free stuff I got this month from Walgreens and RiteAid. This is most of it. I also got some Pert Plus Shampoo/Cond. and some Crest Toothpaste (not pictured). I love free stuff.
