Hee hee...
We were going to go to Mc Donald's and do that whole deal- but we thought it would be so much nicer if they just came over here and we did the whole chicken nugget and fry thing here! It was nice! We didn't have to worry about them at all! Just stick them in the playroom and have mommy time too!! The kids loved it! And so did the mommies!

Friday was crazy. I had to clean my house for the family party on Saturday. My parents and sister were staying at our house that night, so I needed to wash sheets, go grocery shopping, clean the upstairs bathroom, all that good stuff. I did take time out and play with the kids a bit. Finally, I set them in front of the tv so they could watch a movie while I went upstairs to remake the beds. Connor comes running upstairs (not even 5 minutes later) yelling, "MOM! This is serious! Clara is drinking the brown milk!" brown milk? What?!? So bolt downstairs to find Clara got into my pantry (not sure how...) and got a JUG (no little bottle, a JUG!) of BBQ sauce. And somehow got the brand new top off (the seal is similar to a milk jug seal). And dumped it on my couch, and my rug. And it went under the couch. Everywhere. Clara was covered. I panicked!! My family was about an hour away, nothing was done, and now I had a HUGE mess to clean up. I started crying (naturally) and called Jessica. Thank goodness her hubby was home because she was able to come and help me. I owe her BIG TIME! I was freaking out! She (silly girl) said, "Hey! Did you take pictures for your blog?" I replied, "no, I just want this cleaned up now!" She scooped up the sauce that was in the rug with a spatula and dust pan (It worked!) and I took the cushions outside and sprayed them with a hose (it worked too!!). I was afraid to rub the BBQ sauce off, for fear of rubbing it INTO the cushion! We got the mess cleaned up while Clara watched from time-out. Thank the Lord for great friends!!!! Thanks Jess!
Then on Saturday, we had ANOTHER party for Clara, which was for the family! We had an AWESOME time! Although, I am partied out for a while!!!! And since this website is pissing me off, I am going to need to post Saturday's pictures at another time. Grrrrr......
Yesterday we had a nice family day. We all got to sleep in (EVERYONE!!) and then we slowly got up and ate french toast (mmmm). We got dressed and went for a walk and went up to the park and played for a while. Then we walked home, and the weather was perfect. Austin and I sucked helium out of one of the balloons and talked all funny for the kids. They thought that was HILARIOUS!! Then Connor "tried" it too!Well, he sucked on a part of the balloon that didn't have a hole and pretend to talk funny. He didn't get it. It was great! We also played catch in the backyard, went to the store and made yummy decked out turkey subs, and right before bed time- the 4 of jammed into mommy and daddy's bed and watched Elmo "Being Green" and learned all about the saving the earth! After the kids went to bed Austin and I played Phase 10 and drank wine. It was a nice relaxing end to the weekend craziness!!!!!
With the exception of the bbq sauce 'incident', your weekend sounded glorious! Glad you had such a nice time and I cannot belive Clara is TWO! Where is the time going!?!?
