The Birthday Party

Yesterday marked the official 1/2 way point of birthday week here at the Allen House. Here's how our week looked...

Sunday - Austin and Julia turned 8!
Tuesday - Kevin turned 41!
Tuesday - Austin & Andy's Halloween Costume B-Day party
Wednesday - Andy turns 6!
Friday - Julia's HSM3 Birthday party

For Andy and Austin's party, they wanted all their friends in costumes, so we played games called the Mummy Wrap Race, the Headless Waiter Race, and Charades. They ate pizza and decorated their own ice cream with just about everything but the kitchen sink. If you look closely at the pictures, you might just spot a bit of vanilla under all that other stuff! Happy birthday boys! We love you!

Welcome to our family blog! Life is crazy and get's more so by the minute. Our twins, Austin and Julia were born in October 2000 when I was 35 and Kevin was 33, and Andy, our youngest, came along 2 years and 3 days later. I thought that when our kids were small and we has all 3 in diapers at the same time for over a year that we had met and conquered our biggest challenge. HA! If there is one thing we've learned it is that when we say so long to one particularly difficult season of parenting, an even more difficult one replaces it!

Our kids are high energy, creative, entertaining and smart little suckers.... Are we doing a good job raising them? Who knows...but we love them to death and while they give us a run for our money every day of the week, they still head out the door successfully mastering the art of being acceptable to society. So far, so good!

Of course we don't attempt to do it alone, and give God all the glory for the interesting little persons he has created and give thanks that he chose us to be their caretakers. Well, most days. On occassion we do question what he was thinking...
