Party Animals

Ari, Alex and Kira made the party rounds today, starting off with friends Lilli and Gregory's third birthday party at the local park with the outdoor train the kids (Alex especially) love to ride so much. We all had a great time celebrating with Lilli and Gregory and hanging out with our friends. Ari and Alex did train-themed arts and crafts before heading out to ride the train. Alex sat with his pal Ryan and proudly donned the personalized conductor hat Lilli and Gregory's mom gave out to all of the kids.

After Gregory and Lilli's party we joined Andrew to celebrate his third birthday at My Gym. Ari and Alex were so excited to be back at their gym and to hang out with Andrew and our other neighborhood pals. Kira even got to try out some of the equipment and show off her new standing skills. Everyone enjoyed a pizza lunch and yummy cake before heading home for a late nap.


While the kids were napping, Mommy headed over to our Parents of Multiples Club Annual Halloween Party to help set up and get the party started until Daddy brought the kids over to join the party. Alex and Ari were SO excited to debut their Halloween costumes, which they both picked out themselves this year: Alex is a fireman and Ari is Cookie Monster (or in her terms, "C. Cookie.") Kira was adorable in her bumblebee costume and we almost managed to get a picture with all three of them:

Unlike last year, when Ari and Alex were a bit overwhelmed by the festivities (and Kira was in Mommy's tummy!), this year they totally loved every bit of the celebration, from making arts and crafts to getting balloon animals to picking up the candy that fell from the pinata. Now they understand why Mommy loves Halloween so much!

After a very long day we came home for a late dinner, baths and a quick visit from Nana and Poppy Jack before bed time. Now Mommy is exhausted and off to bed...hopefully before 10:00 tonight!!!
