Porkchop's Fourth

I am a horrible mom!!!  These are the only 2 pictures I took of his 4th birthday.  However I would like to share a story of why these 2 pictures are so special.  Porkchop woke up on his birthday and I greeted him with something to the effect of "Happy Birthday my big 4 year old boy!!!"  His reply to that was "Mom, I am not 4 yet!"  And I told him, "Yes you are!  Today is your birthday!"  He continued to disagree with me until he finally said, "Mom, it's not my birthday till I blow out the candles!"  So that morning I made him pancakes so that he could turn 4.  So here he is officially turning 4 with the blowing out of the official birthday candles! 

Babe Turns 6

 Babe wanted to have a baking party for her birthday with all her best girlfriends.  We made aprons for all the girls with their names on them and then each of the girls received a chef hat that they got to decorate.  They each got to take home a cake that they decorated and their own cake stand that I made out of dollar store candle sticks that I spray painted white and glued a white plate to the top.  The highlight was the edible pink spray paint that they got to decorate their cakes with.  I think they had a good time and we got them sugared up just in time for them to go home!  In the last picture check out Babe's super big breath before she blew out the candles.  Too funny!

     

Apple picking fun

I am trying my hand at blogging from my phone! Since I seem to be on the go lately I am hoping this will allow me to blog more frequently. A couple of weeks ago we went apple picking. We also picked pumpkins and made cider! Yum!!!! But those pictures will have to be for another post. We had a lot of fun and am hoping this becomes a tradition!
