Last weekend we celebrated Owen Porter's 3rd birthday. The event was held in a car museum, which led to car theme games, cake, and treats. Elise and Zion were in car heaven! There was a large section full of any car toy imaginable.
There were cars to ride in, cars to push, car puzzles, car books, rocking cars, car video games, and Tiffany Porter even added a car version of pin the tale on the donkey.
Elise couldn't seem to understand why we were trying to put the blind fold over her eyes.
Isn't this such a neat idea? I'm keeping this photo for inspiration if we ever do a car-themed room someday.
On a side note, our water heater spilled a little stream into our garage yesterday. There isn't any damage to our garage, and we have a home warranty for the water heater so there are no major concerns here. But the minor concerns are getting to me. First, we have to shower ourselves and bathe the kids in cold water. I haven't braved cold kid baths yet, so if you might see a little peanut butter in Zion's hair. But the worst problem is the dishes. I can't run the dishwasher because it is attached only to the hot water pipe, which has been turned off in order to prevent a pool in the garage. So I'm washing all of our dishes by hand, using water heated on my stove top. I really shouldn't complain until out stove gives out and I have to heat the water in the fireplace =)
Elise quote of the day:
Elise walked up to me in the kitchen with her arms full of toys.
Elise: "I told Zion that these were my toys, but he is welcome to share them."
This elicited two reactions from me:
1) Pride: she knows that is good to share with Zion, and is even polite about it.
2) Skepticism: if she really had told Zion that he was welcome to share the toys, wouldn't the toys be in the living room with Zion instead hidden in Elise's arms in the kitchen?
