Long Lost Promised Updates!

Here are a bunch of updates I promised to post and I'm finally getting around to it!
For Shaun's Birthday he wanted to play games. We got together with a couple of neighbors and their families and had pizza. It happened to be our neighbor's birthday as well so we celebrated both. It was a really fun night.

Treasure hunt with big bubbles. The kids got kind of distracted by them and I had to stop so they would search for the hidden treasure.

The kids loved the fishpond and got so excited when the line would tug.

We also played under the sea bingo but I didn't get a picture.

Take home prize

The kids had a lot of fun playing the games and winning treats.

Birthday and Rocks

We have rocks outside our apartments and Alexis loves to collect any rock she can find. This day she had been packing around a gift sack she found in our spare bedroom. (She likes to carry around bags and purses and put "treasures" in them. ) On the way up to our apartment I saw her chuck several rocks into the sack. I explained that we couldn't keep them and they needed to stay in the flower beds at the apartment and they weren't ours. I saw her throw several handfulls back into the flower beds. Well we got up to the apartment and here is what I found. That little sneak! I made her take them back out. Poor thing! She just wants some rocks!

Alexis turned 4 this last month. I can't believe how fast she has grown. Here is her invitation for her little friend party. I will have to post some more pictures of the party. I know- I am behind!

Making Birthday Cupcakes

Alexis always likes to help cook. This cute apron she got from her grandparents for her birthday.
