August is a busy month for us and Birthdays. Kellie, Josh and I all have birthdays this month. Joshua was born one day shy of Kellie's second Birthday. So, ever since her third Birthday, they have shared a party. Now, before you give me heck...I promise they get special attention on their ACTUAL birthday. Their party is always at a place of their choosing. They each get to invite their own friends, get their own cakes, have their own theme. So really they get to have a lot of attention that day too.
This year we had it at the local skating rink......at BOTH of their request. We did this a couple of years ago in PA and it didn't go well. Neither of them skate well....But, they pleaded and I figured they were a bit older and perhaps it would go better.
Josh wore his skates for about five minutes....fell every time he tried to stand up! Kellie fared a little better mostly because her friends egged her on. Then champion skater....three year old Olivia showed them both up. She refused to let us hold her hand. She did hold onto the side wall....and got back up on her own when she fell down. She is so stubborn (YES can you believe it...even more than Kellie and Josh) !
Anyway they still had a blast...we reserved the game room so Josh and his buddies played Nintendo, XBOX and Wii. Kellie honed her skating skills. Eventually Olivia took off her skates and then would unexpectedly dash on the rink in her tennis shoes, causing countless skaters to dodge to miss her and fall themselves.
It was really nice to have Ben there as the kids thought he would be in Iraq on their bdays. They were thrilled! I have pics I will get up as soon as I can figure out my new camera phone.
(It may be awhile) ;-)!!
