Busy Bees

This weekend was such a whirlwind of activity. On Saturday, we celebrated one of our girl's birthday. She had a couple of neighbor girls over all day. Thankfully, they played outside for most of it. It was a beautiful day for it. We ordered pizza and then had cake and ice cream of course. My camera is messed up so it didn't tape us singing "Happy Birthday" to her like we thought it had. That's the first birthday wish song that won't be on videotape for our kids. I really need a better video camera. As we thought, our birthday gift to her (karaoke machine) was a huge hit. We hooked it up to our TV so they could see themselves singing thru the video camera on it. We ended up having to hide the mics and Cd's when we went to bed so they wouldn't be up all night long with it.

We had a bonfire outside that night. Of course, I took pictures of that too (I'm a picture taking freak.)

All the kids had a slumber party on the floor of the living room. I didn't hear too much noise above our head so they did good.

Sunday was another busy day. We put together a playhouse for the kids that I had picked up on clearance over the winter. Only took us three hours so that was good. We also took out the play gym for our toddler and put that together (she was happy to see that again since dad stuck it in the garage a few months ago...don't know why he didn't like it in the living room, lol). We took out all of our outdoor furniture. I was happy to see my Celtic birdbath come out again. The kids and dad played basketball while I relaxed with a Margarita. Yum! Tequila is my friend but that's going off topic. We also sawed off several large branches (well, I started to but was too afraid to let them drop so hubby finished them). Notice I said "saw" and "large branches" - no chainsaw here. I was very sore after that so I relaxed in a hot bath. How nice!

Then two out of four kids finished the day with fevers. *sigh*
