Party

We had a little party one night at our house (June?). All of the kids went upstairs and went bonkers. There were at least 10 of them. The parents stayed downstairs and ate and drank and talked. Curtis did his part. A good time was had by all!

Tumblebus

iBA Tumbler Tumblebus is a program where the kids get to practice some age-appropriate gymnastics type play. The company would literally take a bus and turns it into a mobile gym, and it would come every week for the kids to participate. Jack and Lily loved it, (when they were still in daycare). In May, they had their end of year celebration, sort of like a recital, where the kids displayed their talents, then had a big party afterwards. Lily loves her buddy AJ.

Easter 2010

Easter this year was a busy weekend. A total of 3, count 'em...3!, egg hunts, a visit from Granny, dyeing eggs, lots of candy...what else do you need?

In reverse chronological order...

We had a Sunday afternoon egg hunt and block party. It was unusually hot for early April, so that made the beer so much better. Beer on Easter? What would my grandmother say...







New dress for Easter. Lily loved her hat, and everyone who saw her loved it too.



Of course the Easter bunny visited...


And then there was the traditional Bunny cake...

Hunting eggs on the front lawn...




Most of the dye got on the eggs. Most.







And Jack loves to pose for the camera...

Valentine Parties

Valentine's Day parties at the daycare. We waited to leave for RH so they could go to these parties, and that's why we got into the snow (see below). Wouldn't have missed it! Jack had any especially good time with his buddies. The one in the #5 shirt is Karsten, Jack's main partner in crime. They are usually separated during anytime the teacher's want to get anything done! Ada (short dark hair in the front left) is the only girl in the group, but she prefers it that way! She's just as rambunctious as the boys!

Party day

Last weekend Cindy took Lily to the bowling alley along with some of the neighborhood friends. They had a ball (literally)! Lily loved the video games (even without paying to play them) as much as anything else.
Then, later in the day, the weather was so nice (60's) that we decided to have an impromtu block party. Two basketball goals got put out in the cul-de-sac and everybody brought out whatever food they had and we had a big time!

Jack's 4th Birthday

It's hard to describe - 25 kids and an equal number (or more) parents in our house. Add lots of sugar and wintertime pent up cabin fever-type wildness. Add in inflatable light sabers (Cindy's idea!) and what do you have? Yep, complete, 100% over the top pandemonium.

Block Party

This is why we moved to this neighborhood: Reason #312 (Good times with Good people!)

The kids had a complete blast, the adults had one or two adult beverages, and neither group let darkness interfere with the festivities! Can't wait until next time!
