Ella’s Wiggles Party

Bailey’s friend Ella had her third birthday a few weeks ago. They celebrated with a Wiggles-themed party in the backyard. Unfortunately it was dreadfully hot that day, but the kids had a great time despite the heat. They put out a splash pool and some water toys for the kids to cool off. There were also some really cute Wiggles cutout/standup props that Emily made. You can see them in the background of the pictures. I am a huge baby about the heat so I think I spent most of the time whining or sitting inside feeding Taylor!

Trying to keep cool… I think I changed Taylor into his swimsuit about five minutes after we arrived!

Bailey thought she was really cool getting to drink lemonade with a twisty straw!

And the last picture I took was Taylor checking out the exersaucer/walker inside!

After that most people started leaving. We did stick around to see Ella open her presents. Bailey insisted on sitting IN the chair with Ella. She really has no concept of personal space. I am glad we were able to be there for Ella’s party and that the kids had so much fun though!

Park Playdate

My church moms group had a playdate at the park. It looked like it was going to rain but it was SO hot. (typical midwest humidity makes it awful sometimes!) So we got all ready to go, and Taylor wore a baseball cap for the first time. Of course on the way there it started POURING. The turnout wasn’t great, I think because of the weather. We spent most of the time under the pavilion.

The kids played in the puddles on the tennis court and ran around in the rain. I don’t know if you can tell how soaked Bailey is. She had started to dry a little by this point. Everyone left early and we stayed to play. She had the playground to herself which made it really easy to watch her and deal with Taylor at the same time.
