Words of a three year old and a one year old

Emelia's new sayings,

"I have to do..... (example: I have to eat candy)
"I have to go... (example: I have to go outside)
I don't have to... (example: I don't have to go night night)

"No Jude watch my show" .... What does she want me to do blind fold him.

Her newest one Crossing her arms and pouting and says. "Your so mean!" where in the world did she learn that one.

We have had some pretty rough days lately but there are some cute nice things she says

She calls me "Amy" and Jarrod "Uncle Jarrod"
She calls Jude "My baby", "Handsome Boy", "Baby Jude"
The other day I was telling her that we were going to Daniella's party and she said "We sing happy birthday?" I said Yes we will sing happy birthday her response was "I like that song" it was very cute.

When ever we go somewhere she asks me if her friends are there, even if we go to the market.

when we go to the gas station she asks me if the car is hungry.

She is very excited about going on the disney cruise and can't wait to eat with cinderella and minnie mouse.


Jude's word to date,

Mama
dad
dah (for dog)
bah (for bye)
and he is still saying Doctor but for no reason at all. :)

My niece Daniella is 10 years old today. We are going to my parents tonight to celebrate. Emelia is so excited. She LOVES Daniella and has so much fun playing with her. She was invited to her dance party with all her friends on Friday and was the life of the party. All of her friends danced around her and chanted Go Emelia. She was in rock star heaven.

May Madness!!! Wonder Pets Party Highlight's

What a month!!!! We have been busy busy busy! I felt like we were always doing something. Our month was filled with gymnastics classes & performance, Birthday parties, mini vacations, work, school, family & friend visits, luncheons.

I am so ready for our upcoming Disney Cruise!! I think after this weekend things will begin to settle and I will be able to relax.

It was a busy month but definitely a FUN month.

I was able to post about Jude's party but we also celebrated Emelia's 3rd birthday.

EMELIA'S 3rd Birthday!
The Wonder Pets Party

Invitations:
I created these cute invitations www.lilbeansprout.com

Decorations:

Well we had the party at the park, so there wasn't much decorating to do. I purchased all the adorable Wonder pet's birthday supplies. We put a pop up tent for shade and I spread out a huge blanket so people could eat on the grass in the shade.

Games & Activities:

Find a animal:
I thought that it would be cute if all the kids could save an animal so I bought a small blow up pool and filled it with sand. Then I buried a bunch of animals in the sand. All the kids were able to use a shovel to save an animal. All the kids took home the animal that they saved.

Dress like a wonder pet:
I also had capes made for all the kids. I had someone sew them since I don't sew and then I made and glued all the wonder pets emblems on to the back made out of felt. It took a long time to do, but so worth it! All the kids loved the capes.
Face painting:
I decided to break out the face paints and created a board of all the animals I could paint on the kids faces.
The Cake:
I must say I think I did a lot better this time around creating the fly boat wonder pets cake. I used the sail and characters from Emelia's toy fly boat. I took chocolate covered doughnuts and dipped them in melted colored blue frosting. I also used marshmallow's for the jets in the back and colored M&Ms for the lights. Then I took the sail and the wonderpets characters from Emelia's toy fly boat it was the perfect touch to finish her cake. I was really proud of my self in the end. :) I also made cupcakes and put a wonder pets ring on top for the kids.

The Food:
The only themed food I served was celery sticks with various spreads. We did a ranch dip, Peanut butter, and cream cheese. You can't have a wonder pets party and not server celery. :)

We also rented a snow cone machine. That was so much fun and all the kids LOVED it!

Birthday Girl Apparel:
Another Darling shirt made by a fellow etsian! Here shop name is jakeandlucy. Here is the link to her shop http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6261153 Jea was able to create the shirt exactly what I had envisioned!

I had her do an applique of Ming Ming (Emelia's Favorite character) on the front and then on the back it said "This is serious"

Goody Bags:
All the kids took home the animal they saved in the sand and there wonderpets cape.
