we like to party

This past weekend was full of celebrating. Saturday morning Baby Sister and I went to a shower for my friend Whitney. Her baby boy is due at the end of the month and we can't wait for him to get here!

We were a little late to the party. Can somebody explain to me when on that rare morning you find yourself walking out the door on time, that is the moment when the baby majorly spits up or the older one looks like she got in a wrestling match with the tube of toothpaste? Is it the Law of Young Children? Pride commeth before a necessary wardrobe change?

Eventually we made it to the shower. Sissy was a happy camper. While the ladies passed her around, I took some pictures.

Here's the Mama to be opening our gift. It's an outfit for church.
After the shower we picked up the other half of our family and went to a birthday party for one of Reesie's friends from church. It was a princess party and everyone came dressed as royalty. Chica found this toy in the driveway and kept driving it into the bushes. I tried to help her back on to the pavement but she said she was mowing the lawn.


Cute party-goers.

Much to her delight, Chica got to take that pink sparkly crown home. She wore it to Sunday School the next day. And the day after that.
Partied out. :)
Yesterday the youth staff threw a party for Nathan.

Surprise!!

Someone was especially attentive once Mr. Nathan started opening his presents. :)

If this weekend was any indication, October is shaping up to be a really fun month!
