People Say We Monkey Around

I'm back! The little blog has definitely been suffering from major neglect. But I'm hoping to kick it back up and give some more updates on what's going on in our little spot in the world.

Big News: H&H are now FOUR years old!! We celebrated with a monkey party held at one of our faves, My Gym. It was a blast because so many of the kids' (and my) favorite people were there.

With our two four year olds. I think that equals eight years of parenting.

Here are some of the details of the party:

I always love to include pictures at the kids' parties of them growing up. It reminds me of how far we've come! So we had pictures of them as newborns, and at one, two, and three years old.  We served Monkey Vines (twizzlers), Money Mix (trail mix), Barrels for Monkeys (root beer barrels), Banana-Os (Banana Nut Cheerios), and of course Bananas! With a little Jungle Juice to wash it down. (I hadn't added the Sprite to the Jungle Juice yet, so that's why it looks weird. I know you were wondering.)

Monkey cupcakes!

This picture is just to show Harper's dress THAT I MADE. I know, I'm kind of proud of me too. If you can't tell, it actually has a ruffle, bodice trim, a sash, and sleeves, all of which were new to me. Sleeves are harder than you think.

And here are some shots of the fun we had!

Ball Pit!

Waiting for the Roller Coaster. I love Harper's little hands on her brother.

Bubbles!

 You probably can't notice in the picture, but I found these super cute monkey cupcake wrappers the day before the party. In perfect colors for our theme. Scott was so thrilled he could hardly stand it.

Yes, she had that look on her face for the entire song. She must not have noticed the wrapper.

Chowing down!

All the monkeys seemed to have a great time! And a special thanks to my friend Kristin for taking the pics!

Here's to a ton of fun being four!
