Our Ride Home

My conversation with Ali:

"Ali what did you do today at Tina's?" asked mommy

"I pooped" answered Ali.



Don't you just love the conversations you can have with a 2 year old?

Enjoying an evening outside

So we had made plans to spend the weekend in Monterey with Billy's parents at the Maple Festival. The original plan was for us to both take off work early, come home to pack, and be at Tina's at 3 when the girls get up from their nap and leave straight from her house. Well he never asked off. Then the plan was to leave Friday evening after work. That almost didn't happen. Billy didn't get home from work until a few minutes after 6, but we hustled and headed out anyway. We knew with the beautiful weather on Saturday that traffic would be crazy if we waited and went Saturday morning. We stopped in Verona at Wendy's to grab some quick dinner and fill the truck up with gas. Just as Billy had stared to eat his burger and I was trying to hand the girls a chicken nugget piece Ali decided to throw up. She continued to throw up until she was covered and crying. We changed her on the bed of the pick up truck and headed home. Saturday morning she still didn't act herself and her ear looked yucky. So off we went to the doctor's office. No ear infection, just ear wax, but the doctor said that her tummy sounded pretty upset. Thankfully we made it through Friday night and Saturday without any more episodes of throwing up. After dinner Saturday evening we headed back outside to play. Ali was finally starting to act herself and the girls had a blast playing. In fact they played so hard that they had to rest in the hammick.

Birthday Party

So I had this grand idea that the girls still need to have their own birthday cakes for their birthday party. I found a person through pictures I had seen on Facebook that did awesome cakes. I thought it would be great to have her do Elmo heads, because she had already posted pictures of Elmo head cakes on her website and they looked awesome. Plus the girls love Elmo. So I paid way to much money for them and when Billy went to pick them up she wasn't there to meet him. When he called (thankfully I had written down her number and sent it along) she couldn't come then because she was getting ready for another delivery and could come after 2. Thankfully she was able to send her husband with them because Billy said he wasn't coming back later. Needless to say I was a little upset because all the emails I had sent her about making plans to pick them up said we would meet her at 12 before her delivery around 1. So after all the craziness I had to post some pictures of the expensive cakes that almost didn't make it to the party. Next year the girls might not be getting their own cakes, unless we can find someone cheaper.

Morning of 3-12-2010

Happy Belated Birthday Emma and Alison!

I took this picture of them the morning of their birthday while they watched TV and ate breakfast.

Last Look

This is the last pictures of my babies before the turned 2. That was a very sad night for me. They are no longer babies.
