Painting nails in our house is considered ordinary... :0)
We had a swimming play date with 2-B and her crew...
We finished up our 3rd and final week of swimming lessons...HOORAY! But we sure will miss seeing our besties almost everyday :0(
We had a dentist appointment...which generated additional dentist appointments in the coming weeks. :0( I will be having a wisdom tooth pulled this week, and Wyatt will have a cavity (booooo!) filled in 2 weeks. :0(((( The only one who checked out PERFECT... :0)
As a family of 4, we celebrated Beatrice's 4th birthday at Corvette Diner...
And finally, on Beatrice's actual birthday, we headed out (without daddy :0( ) to the annual "family camping trip" with my extended family. This year, we kept our tent and sleeping bags at home, and for the first time, we went in on a rental RV with Grammy! :0)))
So instead of having a big birthday party at home for our Bea, we brought the Hello Kitty party to camping! :0)
The best part about a *camping* party: it's expected to be low-key! We had a little cake...
...we added a little sherbert punch...
...and then BAM!, you've got yourself a par-tay! :0)
After we said Good-bye to Hello Kitty while camping, we could be found at the splash park (not pictured), chillin' in the luxury of an RV...
...flying kites...
...snuggling in a stroller...
...being posers on a Moped...
...Playing cards (not pictured), or playing football...
...riding on a tandem bike!!! (thank you Myke & Pam for fixing it up for our pleasure!)...
...competing in the Annual "Children's Division" Hot Dog Eating Contest...
(Zeph is the winner!)
...competing in the Annual "Female Division" Hot Dog Eating Contest...
(You had to sing "Happy Birthday" for the win)
(Nailed it...2 years in a row!!!)
...We could be found being silly with our family...
...making memories by the campfire...
...OOOOOOR, my personal fave, (although there was a CLOSE 2nd...a long run in the morning with my sister's dog...but more about that in another post, lol)...you could find us at my Auntie's first ever wine tasting party!!! Wine is actually one of my least favorite alcoholic beverages, but the time and effort that my Aunt put in to this experience, made this event SO MUCH FUN!!!
She had several wines for us to taste, and score (after hearing a colorful description of each wine)...
...and then she provided SO MANY wonderfully delicious appetizers and treats for us to enjoy after the wine tasting! There were fine chocolates, and cookies, and spring rolls, and fried rice balls, and different cheeses, and breads, and, and, and...
...my absolute favorite was the Caprese Salad...IN.CRED.I.BLE!!! Thank you Auntie!!!
We had such a wonderful week!
I loved celebrating another year of life and milestones for my *passionate* * affectionate* *mama-loving* * Twinkle Toes Shoes Wearing* *Social Butterfly* *4 Year Old* Beatrice Bellini!
And I had a wonderful time spending another weekend in the Summer camping with the VERY BEST family that any girl could ask for!
(And to think I'm getting a tooth pulled in the morning....sigh.....)
well my darling I am so glad you had a great week! And that enjoyed the not so low key wine party. I just have not figured out any other way...what if someone really wanted the salt and pepper rice crackers and I didnt get them, how could I sleep at night?? Love you so much and am so proud of you!
ReplyDeletehope your dental appointment went well!!! See you in the morning, and keep up the terrific blogging!
