Do you ever have those months that when they are over, you sit down and think "Man, I'm glad that's over"? For me, that month is October. Don't get me wrong, it is a great month, filled with lots of fun and cake but it is also very exhausting. All three kids have their birthdays in October so it is one party after another around here.
This year I let the kids decide what they wanted to do for their birthdays.
Jarred decided to invite his friend Andrew to go to Planet Kid with us. So we spent a couple of hours there and then went home.
The next day we celebrated all three birthday's (plus their cousin Sierra's b-day) with the Bender side. I made a three tier cake and they each chose how their layer would be decorated. Ella didn't care as long as it was pink, Jarred wanted a diamond back rattlesnake, and Kylee's was black with neon "paint splatters".
For Kylee's birthday we went out on a girls night and she chose her friend Allason to come with us. We went to dinner at Five Guys and then I took them to DSW (Designer Shoe Warehouse) and they tried on all different types of shoes. Then we went to Kendall's and did karaoke. Sadly, I didn't get pictures of any of that. :(
Ella decided that she wanted to have a friend party. However, if you called it her birthday party, she would get very upset. It was her "pink" party. She had been planning it for about a month before her actual birthday. She wanted pink balloons, a pink cake, and a "inyata" (pinata). I was very crafty and made almost everything for the party. Ella helped me make the pinata. I also made her a birthday banner but I forgot to take a picture of it. I made the goody bags and Ella decorated them. The party was very, very, very pink.
You know that awkward moment when everyone is singing happy birthday to you and you just aren't sure what to do with yourself? Well, Ella thought that it would be a good time to pick her nose.
So, it has been an exhausting month, but also really fun.
