Camden's Birthday Party

Yesterday we did Camden's birthday party. We had it at my mom's clubhouse and it worked out so nice. It was big enough to hold everyone comfortably. Everyone had a place to eat at the table...another nice thing.

We had shredded beef sandwiches, chinese chicken salad and chips. I made a big pasta salad but in the rush of leaving, it got left in the fridge :( There is no way we'll be able to eat all of it by ourselves. Too bad it won't keep for this weekends camping trip.

Camden made a definite haul on gifts. He got clothes, a super soaker water gun, a couple of other guns that make noise and light up, Hot Wheels stuff, baseball stuff, sidewalk paint(not chalk...paint), motorcycles, water toys and some education stuff.

After eating, opening presents and cake, the kids headed out to the pool.

I'll try to figure out if I can do a link to post some pictures.

A trip to Coldstone

Getting everyone in the car can be quite the challenge. It seems the kids, especially Camden, always has to go look at something. After repeatedly telling him to get in the car, he finally does. Of course it can't be that simple. He has to check out what toys are in the car and usually starts playing with them. Now we are repeatedly saying "get your buckle on". He can be the first one in the car but is always the last one to get his buckle on.

So, we decide to go to Coldstone to use his coupon for his birthday. Camden is outside (he is supposed to be getting in the car) and out comes Kenna with her Snow White dress up shoes on. I tell myself that it could be worse, she could have her dress on also. I think she has other shoes in the car so I just let it go.

It was a quick trip even though we did sit down and eat our ice cream. Kenna just wanted to tromp around in her shoes and Camden was done and getting wrestless. We go out to the car and of course, go through the whole routine of getting buckled up. Matt asks Camden what's the frist thing we do when we get in the car.

Camden replies........ "play".

Happy 4th Birthday Camden!!

Happy 4th Birthday Camden!!

I can't believe he's 4 already, he's getting sooo big.

We bought him a Wii and he was very excited. Now he has his "very own Wii".

I'm still working on some type of reward system so that he has to earn time to play it. He also has to work on his handwriting to play it. Of course, today is a free day.
