We had one really nice day and we made it to the park. The girls loved it. Daddy and I froze, but that's not what matters, right?
Adia attempted pushing Mira on the swing. It was hilarious. Every time she'd push her, Mira would giggle like crazy. I took a video, but I'm not sure it will upload.
And leap days are always supposed to be magical. This year was no exception. We woke up to snow! The girls were so excited. It was really slushy snow though and Adia was determined to have a snowball fight. It didn't end well for anyone involved. Those snowballs were more ice than anything. Ouch.
It took some time before we warmed up.
Adia had a terrific 5th birthday party. She wanted a pink and purple party so we made it a Pink and Purple Princess Party. I traced her and made a princess so they could play pin the crown on the princess. It was pretty hilarious to watch. They also had foam crowns to decorate and a pinata to attack. We lucked out and had awesome weather. All the kids cold play outside and run their energy off. Adia requested a pink and purple cake too so I did one layer pink and one purple. It was awesome and delicious. We also had mini chocolate cupcakes with pink and purple swirled frosting. Adia said it was her best birthday ever and I'd have to agree with her. It was so much better having it at home.
On her actual birthday, it snowed again! It's not everyday in Oregon when you get birthday snow. I let them go out in their pjs since it was her birthday.
DiDi called from school and a few of her students sang happy birthday. Adia makes that face every time someone sings her Happy Birthday. It's pretty comical since she normally wants to be the center of attention.
Then we had birthday cinnamon rolls (her request!). Next time I'll make them much smaller. They turned out huge.
Then we headed to see The Lorax. It was the first time the twins have ever gone to the movie (unless you count Harry Potter when they were 10 days old). I brought extra cups with lids so the twins could have icees too and some closing containers for M&Ms. I was worried about how Leia would react. She doesn't do loud sounds or the dark. She did panic as we were walking into the theater, but once I held her hand and it got a little bit lighter in the theater, she calmed. She squealed when she realized the screen was like a giant tv. They absolutely loved it. I was so shocked at how well they all did. They sat through almost the entire movie, eating their popcorn and drinking their drinks. During the last 10-15min, we did end up playing musical seats though. I ended up with Leia in my lap and Daddy had Mira.
After the movie, we went to Red Robin for Adia's birthday meal. They were surprisingly good there too, but were starting to get tired. Leia even fell out of her chair. My children CANNOT sit in chairs, I swear. They're always moving and end up sliding right out of them. Once again, Adia made the face when they sang her happy birthday.
Last, but not least, we attempted the bookstore. We should have known it was too much, but I had a birthday coupon for Adia. She lost it. Epic meltdown. Yep. And it was too much for Mira. She crashed hard on the way home.
She at least ended the day on a positive note.
And one of her new favorite outfits, given to her for her birthday. She actually wore it to Kindergarten orientation and registration. I'm sure from now until September, I'll hear "Do I go to Kindergarten yet?" on a regular basis. She's so excited for it.
