Major Ooppss...

So, while blogging about my daughter's super awesomely fantastic birthday bash, I somehow forgot to thank my WONDERFUL MOM. This party would have, no question, been a total fail out BOMB if she would not have offered to watch Iyla and Leila during the party. I was able to be the "super fun" mom that organized games, got into the "slumber" spirit and just make the party an overall giant success. I would have been way to crazed trying to keep Iyla away from Nya's b-day fun (nobody wants their little sister stealing their thunder on their b-day) and then tending to Leila and keeping her comfortable would have taken so much time and energy. So, thank you MOM for keeping Iyla entertained and for walking Leila around the block 4,638 times. I could never begin t thank you for all the perfectly helpful things that you do for us. First prize goes to....THE BEST MOM EVER. Thanks mom...

i l-l-l-l-l-ove you. There I said it, well, typed it. That so counts.

P.S. A special thanks to ERIKA FROLING for helping me decorate, glamorize the girls, take AWESOME PICTURES, serve pizza and cupcakes and even clean up after the party. Nobody better remind her that I do not deserve such an awesome friend. I really do not want her to find that out, shhhh!

Trick-or-Treat...

We had a blast trick-or-treating. I love moment like these. The kids just ran from house to house, darting across the street with no worries. They would see random friends along the way and the group of costumed bandits grew larger with house. I hope they remember these awesome childhood memories. I know I will.
