The girls got free mini figures and immediately wanted their picture taken with the Lego Movie display because duh, Everything is AWESOME!
There were a lot of repeat exhibits this year and the girls quickly lost interest. They mostly wanted to shop. Adia loaded up on Lego jewelry. She has a cool rainbow necklace, purple ring and barrette, and a pink and purple bracelet. They also bought some lego friends and mini figures.
They were starting to get hungry and hunger = epic meltdown with the girls. It was time to leave. We jumped back on the train and headed to eat lunch.
After lunch we headed to Powell's. You can't go to Portland without going to Powell's and what's better than legos, but books! The girls went nuts. The twins didn't remember Powell's from last time and they were in awe. "Mom, this bookstore is HUGE! Look at all the books!" They were in shock and they stocked up on books. It was starting to get late and we still needed to use up their Build a Bear gift cards. Once again, the twins had no memory of build a bear and they had an absolute blast.
We weren't thinking about it being a Saturday so when it came time to eat dinner, everywhere had a 30-45min wait. We ended up trying somewhere new and it took so long, Mira took a few bites and fell asleep at the table.
And as if life wasn't hectic enough, the Sunday after Adia's birthday party, I discovered Mira was infested with lice, which promptly jumped heads and got Leia, Adia and me. Luckily we caught Adia's early and they were eradicated. We spent a week sleeping on the playroom floor while I vacuumed everything twice a day, boiled hair stuff and fried everything I could in the dryer. I also combed and nitpicked hair more than I thought possible. Last Tuesday I chopped my hair off and dyed it (yay pixie cuts!), Leia cut off quite a few inches and Mira lost about an inch. Apparently it wasn't enough though because while washing hair on Sunday night, I found more on Mira. Lice - 1, Mom - 0. So it's back to treating heads, combing hair, vacuuming, sleeping in the playroom and frying everything in the dryer again. I'm losing my mind.
And if that isn't bad enough, Leia ran a fever all weekend while vomiting and spent Monday not being able to eat at all. Luckily, she seems much better today.
At least we had some sunny days where we went for walks and played at the park.
Adia also had a girl scout birthday party at Skateworld. I'm much better at roller skating than ice skating. Mira absolutely hated it and Adia thought it was harder than ice skating.
