Firsts

I wrote this post months ago, but was never able to get the photos uploaded due to my poor internet connection.  I have found some luck tonight and will just get this thing posted :).

Now that it is MAY, I'll write that February brought a lot of Firsts my way:
The not so good Firsts:
1) First time dealing with an overflowing toilet (thankfully it was clear water overflowing, but still left us with a mess and without out a toilet for most of a day).
2) First time cleaning up vomit in my kids' bed (Evi)
3) First experience with a kid with an ear infection (Jamie).  How did Evi never get sick as a baby?
4) Second time putting both kids on breathing nebulizer treatments for illnesses. :(


Let's Dance!
The better firsts:
4) First time making [cute finger puppet] Valentine's for Evi's school exchange (which by the way, she was the only kid who brought in something homemade rather than purchased.  Way to go, us!).
5) First time throwing a birthday party for one of my kids, and it was a super fun pool party with a friend with a very close birthday!  Second time making a cool cake for a birthday though (last year it was a dinosaur), but first time making this super cool rainbow cupcake fish cake!
Celebrating their 4th birthdays together!
6) First time putting Jamie on the swing at the park.  She loved it!
7) March brought me my first trip to Florida AND first trip to Disneyworld.  Evi and Jamie too, of course :)

Now that it's May, we have had many more adventures.  Maybe one day I'll write about some of them!

How fun. I love that you are living life instead of blogging, that's the way it should be! Awesome cake, btw. I may have to steal that one.

Thanks denise! I got the idea for the rainbow cake from family fun, and my friend found the idea for the fish cupcake shape! It was fun and the kids loved it. As for blogging...sometimes I wish I documented better so I have the record, but I do what I can and have to be happy with that :).
