Ladies Night!

Well last night a bunch of us gals got together for a Pajama Pamper Party! We had a blast! WE made some homemade facial masks painted our toes, and relaxed:)I think I was a little too relaxed:)There was also a ton of food (and chocolate!)And of course John's famous margaritas!
The gals also brought their wedding albums so we had fun learning more about each other and reminiscing:)We partied all the way to Jen's Birthday! Happy Birthday Jen!
Our youngest (and most popular) "lady". Ms. Maggie Hays:)We couldn't leave the pampering to just one day, So my family and I made a weekend of it:)We had family pamper day

I guess Max got left out (he was napping) Oh well, he probably would have hated it anyway!
Thanks for all the fun and great memories Ladies! We'll do it again soon!

Gotta love to hate

So the kids and I decided to make rice crispy treats last night for Playgroup (which once AGAIN didn't happen! We WILL meet again one day and it will be oh so sweet:) They REALLY had fun!Took turns stirringthen it was time for the good stuff!
Mina loves "rice cakes"! (not exactly honey!)and Max of course.....HATED IT!!! I have this standing joke with my friend Heather that Max is a hater:) It's so true sometimes! He didn't like his hands being sticky!:) But I love 'em. He's still SO cute, even when he's fussin':)Then we found a new pet...
Mina named her "mebaella" and she escaped VERY quickly:) I don't think she was too interested in being a pet:) Good thing we still have puggy:)

One flew somewhere over the rainbow cuckoo's nest

Max found a new friend today. Well maybe not so much a friend but "plaything"He sure did have fun with this piece of pepperoni I gave him!I didn't really have this in mind, I thought he would EAT it!!
Then the kids had fun doing this....playing with empty juice jugs and watching...yeah, I dunno

Mina really enjoyed it, and dressed up in her ("Dorothy") red skirt Esther made:)We have one crazy family! I love us:)
