Happy birthday Coco and Woof Woof!

We purchased a futon today (finally) and the kids decided it would make a great table for a tea party. Breana decided it was Coco's birthday and they needed a party. T.J. decided Woof Woof couldn't be left out and it was his birthday as well. Breana received Coco from her auntie as a reward for behaving while having her picture taken. She loves that dog and sleeps with her every night. She has become quite popular in our house as T.J. begs Breana every night to let him sleep with her as well.
Mom's impromptu menu: mandarin oranges, Babel cheese, and of course, Famous Amos cookies.
And to drink? Iced hot chocolate. It was the best I could do given the 5 minute notice.

Breana and Coco.
T.J. made Woof Woof at build-a-bear in Honolulu when he was almost 2. Hence the name Woof Woof. He loves that dog and it does an excellent job of consoling him after his many requests for Coco are denied every night.
Yum!! If you'll notice T.J. is sitting in his dumptruck and Breana is on their sit and spin toy.

I should also mention that this party was started in the most appropriate way. They began by reciting the pledge of allegiance and of course they said a blessing on their feast!!

What party is complete without a pledge to kick it off???

Famous Hamous

On monday, the kids wrote letters and painted pictures for their friends for family home evening. For treat we had some Famous Amos cookies and milk. T.J. loves the story that is printed on the back of the bag that tell how Amos became so famous. He makes me read it to him anytime we eat some. This video is T.J. telling Breana and I the story. (sorry the lighting is bad I used my camera).
