Celebrate!

I celebrated my first Mother's day a few days ago and it was really nice. Joe spoiled us all with flowers and gifts but most importantly it was nice that most of the family was all together. We also took Summer and Autumn on their first ride- the meri-go-round, which they loved! The girls seemed fascinated with all the animals and sounds at the zoo so I'd say it was a hit.

Also on Mother's day, Autumn pulled herself to stand! Now she is standing all over the place and getting into all sorts of trouble. Summer can get into a seated position from lying down and is just the cutest thing when she gets all the way up, she puts her hands in the air as if to say "TADA!" Can't wait to see what new milestones they will hit next.

Today I took the babies to the beach with one of my mommy friends. These characters are just too much- Summer was rolling and crawling around in the sand having the time of her life and Autumn was shoveling the sand in her mouth faster than I could keep up with. Despite throwing tantrums because I kept stopping them from eating sand and crawling away, I think they had good time! And needless to say, I'll be cleaning sand off them for days.

The 1st birthday party planning is in full affect and coming along nicely! I have everything booked and even started on my decorations. I have a lot of projects going on all at once so today I will show my progress on the birthday bunting I'm making for the party. 

I have been cutting out the triangles in various girly colors so that when I string them I'm hoping they all go well together.

 I bought the stamps to make letters for "Happy Birthday" but silly me, I forgot to buy an ink pad. So for now I'll just decorate them and leave the letters for last.

 Like I said I have a lot of stuff I'm working on so I'll try to take pictures as I go to show my progress!
