Il Primo Pizza Night

Botanica Lakes had a kids pizza making event at Il Primos. Glenn couldn't make it because of work, so I asked my friend Julie if her and her son, Chase wanted to come. They came over and we all headed otu. For $4/pizza, the kids got to make their own personal pizza. After they were done slopping on all the toppings, the staff cooked it and then called the kids up to come get their pizzas. I'm not sure what my boys liked more, eating pizza or watching Wall-E playing on the TV. I swear, my kids new what movie it was before it even came on.

Crazy Sock Bunco

Bunco Night with my Mamapalooza ladies was hosted by Janet for the month of January, with a crazy sock theme. It was, yet again, a wonderful evening with wonderful friends!

Mini Birthday Celebrations

The boys turned 2 and 3 this year. It's amazing how much they change in just one year! I had planned to do a safari themed joint party for them, but we just didn't have the funds to do it; Food alone ends up costing us a fortune.

Both our families are large, and when you start adding in all their friends, the number of people attending starts to grow to this ridiculous amount. So we decided to skip it this year and have a few small celebrations with close family and friends. Honestly, the boys could care less. They associate birthdays with cake and presents, so as long as those two things are included in the get together, they are as happy as could be.

Here's a few pictures from another birthday celebration with Grammy and Papa G, Great Grandma Fina, Tia Elia and The Kitzinger Family.

Happy Birthday Baby Boys!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Carly

Sweet little carly celebrated her 3rd birthday and we were there to help her. I just want to say, that Leah did not really want to throw her a party because she had so much going on. But I fought, and here are pictures of the fabulous party. You did a great job Leah, even if the dog ate half of the rice crispy treat wands.

It was a "Pinkalicious" party. If you have a little girl, and don't have the book, Pinkalicious, go get it! But beware, when you get the book, the subsequent purchase of Purplelicious will be in the near future.

Manatee Park

On super cold days here in Ft. Myers, the thing to do with kids is take them to Manatee Park. It's located acress the street from the FP&L plant. The manatees, who love warm water, frequent it in the winter. It's actually pretty hard for the little ones to see them. They just pop their heads out of the water for a few seconds and then go back under. But we did happen to see a crab! They also have a really cool butterfly garden. Unfortunatley, my boys are into the flower-picking stage, so I had to keep them from picking all the flowers!
