Camp Aunt B Playdough Party

In an effort to keep things interesting, the toddlers and I made and cooked playdough. Ollie and Lolo were wonderful listeners and chefs. They made pink (Foofa-color) and green (Brobee-color). Lolo insists that all colors are related to Yo Gabba Gabba, her favorite show. Ollie and Lo frequently fight about whether or not something can be Muno-something. For example, we had green spoons with lunch. Lolo said they were Brobee spoons, Ollie says no they are just green spoons. It is a complicated matter.

****This is my 200th post! I really need to get a blog book made.

Blueberry Picking (kinda)

We went to the Berry Patch in south Overland Park for some fun in the sun. Ollie, Lolo, Aunt B, Grammy, PopPop, Ginny, G-ma JJ, and I all endured the heat to pick a grand total of 3/4 pound of super sour blueberries. This is not a reflection on the Berry Patch, but the weather and the birds. We went into the store to purchase some goodies and bought 5 pounds of blueberries (from Michigan). It was the experience of picking the berries ourselves that matters - right?

Ollie's first movie

We went out to the Legends to see Ollie's first movie in a theater. He LOVED it - we saw Winnie the Pooh. It was the perfect length (60 min.) and it was a small theater (so not scary). He brought his Pooh to see it with him.

Baseball Bliss

After cake, we all headed out to the Royals stadium to see the boys in blue win againist the TB Rays. The game was very exciting and went into an extra inning. Ollie tried all night to get himself on the JumboTron, but it was Wes that was featured during the Haircut cam on the GIANT screen. Wes is now worried that he has a joke haircut, because he was inbetween a lady with crazy spikey hair and a guy that looked like ZZ Top. We have tried to reassure him that his haircut is cool not crazy. We had a wonderful time even though it was very hot. Thanks Uncle Dick and Aunt Ginny for a Super fun evening!

Happy Birthday JJ

Grandma JJ celebrated her birthday yesterday with us and Great Aunt Ginny and Uncle Dick. Ollie got to pick out her cake and ate a HUGE piece.

Party, Party, Party!

The day after the HP party, Ollie was invited to go to a friend b-day party. Zane, the son of a co-worker, just turned 4 and had his party at Chuck E Cheese. Ollie thought it was the best place ever! Zane's mom made a robot cupcake-cake. He thought the whole experience was pretty sweet!

RIP Voldemort

Last Saturday, we went to our last Harry Potter Party at the Krause House (click link to read article about Sarah and fam). It was filled with magical fun. The kids got to make wands, get lightning bolt tattoos, win a prize in a wind machine, and eat WAY TOO MANY treats. But it was for more than the kids, Wes, Beth and I had our fortunes read. I found out that soon I will be granted the gift of total truth, and I will be able to tell with others lie to me. I think this gift of a BS detector was bestowed upon me right at the moment of my psychic reading. Anyway, Ollie's mom will miss HP and Voldemort the most. It was a fun decade!
