The kids had the BEST birthday party and birthday. Since Gracie had to go in a full leg cast that was not waterproof, we had to cancel their swim party and instead had immediate family and friends over. Our little house that could was busting at the seems. It was so perfect. We took them to dinner that night and they had a birthday celebration there too. They thought it was so funny that everyone was singing to them and Brody was dancing away.
Today I made them breakfast waffles which is pancake mix with sprinkles. Ricky went to school and when he got home, we had lunch, went to see Mrs. Lupe since she has been gone to Mexico, and got ready to go out to The Woodlands. The kids went on their first boat ride and loved it, we did the carousel, they shopped in Pottery Barn Kids (they have expensive taste!), we bought them each a "special" book from Barnes and Noble with a gift card I had, and ended the day with dinner.
Madi is doing a good job potty training. It's amazing how changing one less kid's diaper makes the day a little easier. We are really proud of her. Gracie is wanting to potty train too but we are waiting until her cast is off next week.
It seems they woke up older this morning. Their conversations with us, the way they look, everything! I'm so excited to see what this next year will bring their way! Gosh, I hope they know how much we love them!!
