Courtney peed on Namy

Since the girls turned 3 on Friday I told them they couldnt wear diapers anymore. Sydney refuses to wear panties so she is still a baby but Courtney is doing great. This afternoon she fell asleep on the way back from a busy playdate w cousins Wyatt and Dawson. She was snuggling Namy and peed on her...

RELAX

We flew Namy and Papas late Weds night. Jon had work in Vancouver on Thursday and Friday so we took advantage of the grandparents and made a little getaway out of it. We left before the kids even woke up first stop...Tim Hortons!
Jon checked us into the hotel and off to work he went. I on the other hand did absolutely nothing! Channel surfed, read, napped it was AWESOME. Jon got back around 2:30 and we headed out for a late lunch...Sushi! We stopped by 2 different Sushi places and pretty much all the restaurants in the area were closed between 3 and 5 but we found a little hole in the wall that was cheap and super tasty! The waitress suggested the ahi, She said it was super fresh and it was the best both Jon and I had ever had. We ended up ordering 3 servings of it.

We walked around for a bit and went back to the hotel for more of nothing until we met up with a coworker of Jons and his family. More good food. This morning Jon had more work so I slept in! More awesomeness! We headed back and did some Christmas shopping at the Bellis Fair mall in Bellingham. I am all recharged for the hectic week we have ahead of us... First off the twins Bellingham Birthday Bash tonight!

Jon is now another year older

Yesterday morning Jon got his Birthday present from the girls...

A NERF GUN!

with extra ammunition!

Courtney didnt know what to expect!

and neither did I!

The gun was a big hit with the girls...I wouldnt be surprised if Jon went out and bought them all ones so they can have "wars" He was excited that the girls liked a "boy" thing!

It was Tuesday so we had Tacos for his birthday dinner. After the kids went to bed Jon finally got to see the movie "The Hangover" which came out on dvd on his birthday so I had to make a quick trip to Target to get it for him!

Happy Birthday dear husband!

masks!

On Monday the girls made masks...I totally forgot to have the kids make them at the birthday party.

Sydney didnt want me to take her picture of hers she only wanted to wear Sams but Sam wouldnt let her!

A classmates birthday party

Samantha went to another birthday party this weekend. This time it was Conners and it was at the park. She was the only girl in her classs to show up but she had fun. She played mainly w another classmate Bradley. She told me that he said "I love you" to her. It's starting! She was pretty happy when she realized there was a pinata (which she calles a peeata!)

Last night we headed over to Glendale for their "Glendale Glitters." The town blocks off a street downtown by the main square and has a little festival w lots of lights, vendors, bouncy houses, a stage with shows, a movie playing- Madagascar 2, and of course the main reason we went...SANTA! The girls were so excited!

They were dancing in line!
