Hudson & Hallie turn 3!

Way back in February, Hudson & Hallie celebrated their third birthdays. We had a party with a pancakes & pajamas theme. It's really hard to come up with themes that aren't too girly or too boyish. So, in my internet searches I came across this idea and ran with it!

I set up the table to (hopefully) look like a bed.

I made cupcake toppers to go on the cupcakes. I hesitated doing them since the pancakes are pretty sweet by themselves and what parent really wants to load their kid up with sugar all before lunchtime!? Well, shoot me... :)

Juices and milk




A friend of mine made these cute PJ tops. She has a online boutique you should check out... The Purple Pecan.

SNOW... for us at least

It seems to snow once a year in College Station which we LOVE!! Having lived in Colorado for 2 years we are fully aware that this isnt' "REAL" snow for but for the little kid in me (and for our 3 little kids) it will fit the bill. I literally waited all day and night for this snow and once it happened I was super excited. The kids seemed to enjoy it too!

Brooke even tried to make snow angels. This isn't her first rodeo ... but I think she was a little disappointed that she couldn't make angels like she can when we go to Colorado.

Hudson was a little hesitant at first so he hovered on the deck for a while.

Hallie was also disappointed that she couldn't really make snowballs either.

Until next year....

Valentine's

In an effort to catch up on the blog so my children will one day look back and know how much I loved them (and how organized I must have been...haha!), I am finally posting stuff from FEBRUARY, yes, in MAY!! Better late than never, right?

I attempted to be really good with the kids and have a craft or activity for the first 14 days of February leading up to Valentine's day. I have to admit, I wasn't that diligent with the goal. We did actually do something creative on the first day. I found a cute litte poem online and printed them out, had the kids do their handprint and we put a picture of them on each.

If only for a few minutes... quiet crafting. :)
