Brenton's Birthday

My oh my, how busy I have been. Do you ever have weeks like that where you don't have a minute to yourself? Well it sure has felt like that lately. Wednesday was Brenton's birthday, and I made 2 dozen cupcakes to take to his school. I got this idea for the cupcakes from another blog. Well I took the cupcakes to Brenton's school for his his party, but sorry there are no pictures. After the party was all over I realized that my memory card had been full, and I had not got one picture. Here is a picture of the six leftover cupcakes. After dinner Brenton went on a scavenger hunt for his presents. It started in the living room under a chair cushion.

It led to under the pool table,

On the steering wheel in the car,

On the jug of milk, and a few other places around the house, then ended by the fire place.

He got a leapster 2 hand held video game system and some games to go with it. He also got some gift cards and an outfit.

Aunt Amber sent him this robot, but I think the girls were way more interested in what it was.

He made a wish, blew out the candles, and we had the last six cupcakes. Happy 6TH Birthday Brenton!!!!!

Let's Party!!!!

We took Brenton and a couple of his friends to Gatti Town to celebrate his birthday on Saturday. They played air hockey, and it took a couple of dads to figure out the race car game.

Brenton was a natural at dancing. Cool as usual during a roller coaster ride.

They all absolutely loved the bumper cars! Brenton's friend really likes Star Wars, and they found the game.

Brenton got some really great gifts, and enjoyed a motor cycle ride. He had a great night with his friends!

These boots are made for walking.....

Brily and Avery are going through a phase right now where they want to have shoes on all the time. Well, when Brily saw her brother's boots she just couldn't resist!

Happy Halloween

We decided to stay around the house last night and take the kids trick-or-treating. We went off with Cruella DeVille, a couple of Dalmatians, and a ninja. The girls were not real happy with their puppy ears. The ears were touching their faces.

We only went to maybe 20 houses just around our block, and this was all the candy we came home with! I think that Robin is going to have to take quite a bit to work with him.

After we got home Amberly had to shower to wash all the color out of her hair. This morning when we woke up, and her hair was dry this is what we had to deal with. For those of you who don't know, Amberly is extremely tender headed. This is going to be fun! What a wild night!!!!

2 week catch up

I've been really busy the last couple of weeks, so below are four postings of the last couple of weeks.

A new room

Brenton and the girls switched bedrooms, so I wanted to paint it for them first. I wanted it to look like a child drew it. I love how it turned out. The girls love it too. They just point at things and laugh.

Cupcake fever!

We have gone cupcake crazy in this house! I made for dinner the other night meatloaf cupcakes with mashed potato frosting. They were so yummy. We had leftover frosting from the fall festival cupcakes so I baked some more, and let the kids decorate them. They had a blast.
