Mommy's Birthday and Halloween

Adia had been talking about my birthday all month. She desperately wanted to make a cake and blow out the candles. When it actually came time to make the cake, she flaked out on me. I ended up doing it on my own, but she did appear to add sprinkles and then do candles. She even sang "Happy Birthday." It was sweet.












We went back to the coast for Halloween and stayed at Gramma and Papa's house. DiDi stayed with us too. Adia helped Gramma make dinner on Friday night. She had to taste the BBQ sauce as she was stirring and she said she liked it. Then Gramma added onions to the mix and Adia said it tasted yucky. That's my girl. I don't like onions and she didn't like the smell either. It was pretty funny.


In the morning, Adia helped Gramma make breakfast. She helped mix the pancakes and measure ingredients. Gramma also needs reading glasses. She happened to leave them sitting on the counter and Adia picked them up and put them on.




I dressed the girls in their "Halloween" outfits and attempted some pictures. I was glad I took pictures when I did because Mira ended up puking all over herself. She seems to have a problem with spitting up and occasionally puking.




We went out to lunch at A&W, which made Adia very happy. She was incredibly tired though so we thought she was going to fall asleep before we made it back to the house to put on costumes. Somehow she managed to stay awake. The twins were sleeping though. We changed them in the car when we got down to Old Town. Mira was a flower, Leia was a frog and Adia was Tinkerbell.












Adia was so excited to Trick or Treat. She suddenly got shy though when it actually came down to saying "trick or treat" or "thank you." The farther we went, the more tired she got. I eventually had to carry her. When we got back to the car, she only wanted one thing, "A red lolly pop!"




Adia was crazy hyper when we got back to Gramma and Papa's house. The twins were wide awake too and super hungry.






Papa brought out the exersaucer. Leia was already asleep, but Mira enjoyed using it. She could just reach on her tippy toes.




We drove home on Sunday. Adia was happy to be home and spent some time with DiDi.

All this week Gramma has been here. Daddy had surgery on Monday and I needed some extra help. Adia loved having her around, but was really confused as to why Daddy couldn't play like normal. The twins even missed him. He was finally able to hang out and play with them a bit today and Mira's face lit up when she saw him. She is truly daddy's girl.
