Hills Bank Barnyard Day

Dan and I took Sylvia and Drake to the Hills Bank barnyard days while Eric was at a birthday party.  They were both willing to walk right up at feed the cow out of their hand.

Friday Fun / Pi Day (3/14)

We invited Grandma and Grandpa over for Pi Day and enjoyed some peanut butter cup pie from Perkins.

Eric's family party

We celebrated Eric's birthday with our extended family a few days after his birthday.  They joined us for dinner, gift opening and cake.

Sylvia did some videotaping at the party :)

We enjoyed the leftover robot cake.  Sylvia and Eric each ate most of one of the robots feet.  They were very big pieces of cake.

Before heading to bed, Eric tried out his new batman pajamas from Bill & Becky.

Eric's Robot Party

Eric celebrated his 4th birthday with a robot themed party.  I had little bit of trouble settling on a theme because he's not really into one specific thing.  Then I realized that he loves our roomba vacuum.  I decided to translate that into robots rather than having a roomba themed party.

The kids colored and created things out of foil before building robots on the wall with their team.

When our robots were complete, we headed downstairs to pick up lots and lots of balls with our robot arms.

I peeked around pinterest and settled on this cake.  It was so much fun to make and Eric loved it.

Eric enjoyed opening his presents.  He has such a good group of friends.

tumbling

We signed the kids up for three weeks of tumbling at the downtown rec center.  Their classes were back to back from 9:00-12:00.  I went along with Drake to his class but the older two got to go alone.  We played basketball and foosball, checked out the exercise equipment and went to the New Pi for groceries to kill time during sibling classes.

Friday Fun (3/7/2014)

I took the kids to HyVee for Friday fun day.  Eric picked out his free birthday cupcakes and a HyVee employee also gave the kids free cookies (that we saved for later).  Drake slept through the cupcake eating so he got to have a cookie while we did our grocery shopping.

Eric's Birthday Share Day

Erickson enjoyed getting ready to celebrate his birthday at preschool.  He put the sprinkles on the popcorn after I coated it with almond bark.

Eric's birthday share day was also Red, White and Blue day preschool.

Eric had a little trouble deciding what to take for share time.  He finally decided on the Wedgits after we talked about what toys he likes to play with at home.  He also took along his new "robot arm" that we bought for his birthday party.
