Join the Celebration

Kacen got his first taste of jam yesterday and he loved it! Not much of a crumb left in his high chair.
Saturday night I made sweet and sour chicken stir fry, you bake this in the oven. It was Awesome! I think that next time I will try parsley instead of cilantro. It is great, homemade sweet and sour sauce, who knew it could be so great.
Also Saturday we went to the "Join the Celebration" that the Boys and Girls club had at Pioneer Park. To Celebrate kids! We have wonderful kids and let them know that we were going there to celebrate them. It was great, Alona really enjoyed the games, she enjoyed getting her eyes checked! And the mirror that they gave her. Many snacks, McDonalds had a booth giving out apples. Abbi was heart broken there was a game where they had to throw rings over bottles and you had to get the ring on the bottle to win the drink. She waited in line, she threw the rings, and they wouldn't indulge a little two year old with a bottle of sunkist, I was so sad for her. She didn't understand! Alona loved the plate painting that they had. She took a styrofoam plate and made a design in it, rolled over it with paint, turned it over and pressed down onto paper. She did a great job. Abbi of course did a "How I Wonder" as she calls stars.
Cotton Candy, snow cones and hot dogs for lunch, talk about healthy!! The big blowup toys were fun. Alona enjoyed it the most, jumping around and going down the inflated slides.
This a cute picture of Kacen. He is growing up. Every time that the back door is open he goes to play. This week we have been planning and preparing for the biggest birthday party that we have ever done. Paul started to make a pirate ship out of our christmas tree box that him and the girls get to finish tomorrow. We made fish that will hang from a tree as part of our treasure hunt. Wednesday we bought some of the treats for her party. She will also get to have a deserted island, we bought little debbie snack cakes for that. There will be a pin the patch on the pirate game and they will get to decorate treasure buckets. Buckets just worked better than chests (less expensive) and they came with shovels that they can dig up the treasure with.
