Just another Saturday

In the morning all three boys had a birthday party to go to. It was Adam, their playgroup buddy. Max insisted on helping Elizabeth wrap up the presents, but he didn't want her to write his name on them and who they were from. Somehow he was hoping that way he could keep them.... Of course his Mommy tried to make him feel better by telling him the best presents to give are the ones you'd like to keep.

I don't think it worked.

I had bought the boys some Disney shirts. They were so excited when they came in yesterday. They wore some of them all afternoon and insisted to wear some of them to the party today. As you can see they are much better than I in naming all the characters, well at least Henry is:


While the boys were at the party, Elizabeth, Sophie and I went to the Avenue for some shopping. We didn't really find anything, except for Sophie who scored several nice clip-on earrings. We did enjoy some delicious pizza at the new pizzeria in town, called Bia's Pizza Kitchen. It was scrumptdeliciousus (my spell checker just went crazy). So far that's about the closest we have found to real Italian pizza here in the US. If you haven't been there yet, you need to check them out. They are in the Avenues in Peachtree City, where the Atlanta Fish Company used to be. I even have to admit that was my second time this week! ;)

Don't tell my cardiologist, but it was actually my second time this week! I had a Chicken BBQ Calzone on Wednesday for lunch and today Elizabeth and I shared a Steak Fajita pizza. Sophie had a little Cheese Calzone. We all walked out with smiles on our faces and full tummies!

In the afternoon I took the boys for a golf-cart ride, one of our favorite past-times here in Peachtree City. Of course we made a pit stop at one of the playgrounds. The boys had a fun time and naturally little Alex just had to follow wherever his two brothers went.

That little guy is scared of nothing!

Here he is climbing up (by himself of course, as he insisted stubbornly on me not helping him at all) a six foot tall slide. This was after he almost fell of while sliding down and landing kind of hard sidewas at the bottom of the slide, after one of his shoes caught one of the sides. Undeterred he went right back for another slide:


For dinner Elizabeth made her delicious German pancakes and some homemade biscuits. We all love them, but as you can see Alex truly enjoyed them to his little hearts content. I want to make sure though that I point out though that they started out looking much more enticing before Alex got his hands on them (literally)!

Food is so much more of an experience involving all your senses when you're a toddler. Who needs silverware when you have two fully functioning little hands to use? Luckily it was bath night anyways.

Buzz is having a party

Sophie is a great big sister. Here she's helped the boys decorate their room (note the fan) and they're celebrating Buzz Lightyear's birthday:


This all started with Elizabeth saying that we won't have a birthday again this year in our family until hers in September, so Henry decided that was just too long a wait for another birthday party.

Valentine's Party

We celebrated Valentine's during playgroup at our house. The kids made cards for their parents and swapped some with each other. Of course we ate lots of sweets! It was a lot of fun and 2 hours was the perfect time.

New Year's

We spent the evening at Brad and Sherri Ellermeiers' house. They had invited a bunch of young families over for an early New Year's celebration. Max and Henry love playing with their son Gabe.

After arriving 45 minutes too early (thanks to Elizabeth), quite a few families started showing up. Their large playroom soon was filled and kids started spilling out all over their house. Lots of fun, snacks, punch and laughter and as far as we know nothing got broken (at least not by our kids).

At 8:00 PM we had an early countdown and as you can see in the photos the kids had a blast along with their parents!

Thanks Brad and Sherri for a New Year's evening the kids will remember for a long time to come!
