Today is Papa's birthday (Dustin's dad if you're new here). I won't share his age (cause I can't remember!), but we are having a special birthday lunch for him, and I know the kids will be so excited to celebrate-they love Papa. I have to say, he's a great Papa. He comes to see them just about every single days, calls if he can't come by, and is always willing to babysit. Now that the kids are bigger, Carson often goes with Papa to do farm chores, like feeding and checking the cows, gathering up hay, etc. He is very serious about this and if he knows Papa is coming, he gets his bag ready, his snack bag and cup, and puts his shoes and hat on. He waits by the door and heads out happily, with a kiss and a "bye Momma". I'm chopped liver when it comes to Papa. One lady at the church nursery was amazed that the twins could add and even do some subtracting. I told her it was from counting hay bales and cows with Papa, for sure! We do some counting at home, but they do a lot with Papa too! Anyway, we hope Papa enjoys his day and his special lunch with his grandkids. We are hoping to get a picture with all 7, which we haven't done yet.
Today is also Cousin Hunter's cowboy party. The twins have been talking about it for weeks. It must be the first party they really realize and are looking forward to, because they've wanted to go for weeks. Carson's carried the invite around (we need two Amanda!) and they've ooed and ahhed over the cake decorations. We even got cowboy hats at Hobby Lobby but they got ruined in the kiddie pool. :-( I warned them! I have made all of Hunter's birthday cakes- Winnie the Pooh for his first party, Lightning McQueen for his second, monster trucks for last year, and now cowboy. He keeps me challenged I guess! The rumor is we are having hayrides and of course, party games,and possibly some pool time! I think it's shaping up to be a fun day full of memories! I will post cake pics too-just for fun! I enjoy doing cakes for Hunter and my kids, but that's it. It's so time consuming! I hope to dress the kids in some type of cowboy gear-maybe bandannas at least.....and Henry has a baby cowboy hat-so cute!
Well, we are off to party all day! More later on how it's going!!!
