Sleepover Birthday Party…. I must be crazy

Leave a Comment

I am almost in my third trimester of this pregnancy and I have agreed to let Jillian have a sleepover! Yes I am a little crazy! I kept the guest list small… even though Jillian invited an extra person not on the original list, it worked out because only 3 girls could show up. To top off my crazy, I caught a summer cold, yay me!  We set up the tent for the girls to sleep in. Overall the party was a success. Adrian only had to talk to them once about keeping the noise down. In the morning Adrian made pancakes for the girls and everyone was happy. I was exhausted but it turned out ok! One thing that this party did was remind us that we are going to have 4 girls! WOW!! Haha lots and lots of estrogen in this household.

Slime

I finally gave in and made slime with the girls. We went for “fluffy slime” which includes shaving cream. I also learned that not all glues are created equal, so even though Hobby Lobby put the glitter glue under the slime sign, doesn’t mean it would work! We used up all of our backup glue to get Jillian’s and Claire’s to turn out. Olivia didn’t want glitter and hers formed instantly. It’s funny because Jillian was the one asking for slime for months, and Olivia has been the one to play with it the most.

Jillian’s 9th Birthday

I cannot believe that I have a 9 year old! She is a funny quirky thing who still loves Minecraft and Pokemon. Her lasted career choice is to build robot plush animals. Basically she wants to build a dog that doesn’t eat or poop. To encourage this route, we bought her a couple robot building kits for her birthday.

Soccer Game

Did you know Orange County has a professional soccer team? Haha yah I didn’t know either until they became a huge part of Beacon Park this year. Their stadium is being built in the Great Park and they have done a lot with our school. They gave Kevin and I free VIP seats to one of their games because we were Teacher of the Year and Teacher of Promise. 

Beacon Park Baby Shower

I can’t say it enough how much I love my Beacon Park family! They threw me a great little baby shower at Taco Rosa. I told them I wanted them to enjoy themselves as well so it was a happy hour baby shower! I got a lovley baby crown to wear 🙂 The staff was super generous and got me the new car seat that I wanted as well as some other really great items!

Fairy Trail

We visited the fairy trail today. http://alisofairytrail.com/

The girls loved seeing all the little houses for fairies! Adrian and I enjoyed the ocean view on the trail and being super envious of the homes along the trail with their beautiful views!

It was a fairly easy walk for me being late in my pregnancy. We did stop at the hill and turned around there. I think there was more beyond but I just couldn’t do it. We’ll have to go back when I am more fit.

Claire’s 4th Birthday

Claire wanted a Moana birthday party. My mom made her this amazing Moana outfit. She did it without a pattern and just looking at a picture, she is really superwoman! It was a small gathering but Claire had fun. We even made the Kakamora pinata. My cupcakes were not spectacular this year and I forgot to take a picture of them. We tried to decorate them like the heart of Tefiti.
