Day 46...Thing 1 and Thing 2

This is it, the day of the Dr.Seuss joint birthday party has arrived.  I really had so much fun planning this, despite all the complaining I might have done.  This theme was really fun and the kids enjoyed it.  After all was said and done, Bodie came up to me and said, "Thanks for our party Mama, I love you."  That made it worth it.

Well, I started with the menu.  It was a lot of fun to pull together.  We had:

• Pink Yink Ink Drink (pink lemonade)
• Green Eggs with Ham (deviled eggs topped with prosciutto ham)
• Yertle's Turtles (candy carmel turtles)
• Roast Beast Tray (meat tray)
• Who Cakes (cupcakes)
• Diffendoofer Fruit salad
• Poodles with Noodles (pasta salad)

We also had red fish, blue fish candy...and more.  I tell you what, you could go nuts with the menu if you wanted!

We had a great time with friends and family in the backyard.  It as beautiful weather and we are so glad that we could share their birthdays with everyone.

Bodie LOVED his cards!

We played with friends...

After the other kids were gone, Bodie and McCall got their presents from Papa and Nanny.  OMG!  (Insert laughter and bewilderment here, I myself can't believe that I just used that abbreviation, but it seemed fitting.)

McCall got a Barbie Jeep, Bodie a Kawasaki 4-wheeler.  They have a max speed of 5mph and Bodie pushes it to the max.  McCall on the other had is more interested in her radio...yes it has a working one!

They drove and played for what seemed like hours.  Bodie looked like he was going to fall asleep driving.  He later had a full blown melt-down, during the time I was trying to get a picture of the kids.  (The only way we could get him off the 4-wheeler was to tell him the battery died, I love that trick.)  So the picture isn't the best, but you get the picture.  (Literally.)

When we came inside, Bodie didn't want to eat and he didn't want to drink anything.  He said, "Mama I want to go lay down in your bed, and I want you to come with me."  So in less than 30 seconds I was left with this...

Happy Birthday Thing 1 and Thing 2...we love you!

P.S.  Bodie came in to our room at 1:30 am and asked me if his battery was charged!  If I hadn't been so tired, I would have laughed really, really hard.
