A Princess and Tractor Party

-
The twins turned three this month. THREE! It's hard to believe 3 years ago I was a crying heap of hot mess. I would cry because I felt so amazed and grateful for two beautiful kids (at the same time! I mean really? Two babies in my tummy at the same time! Totally crazy!) And then the next second I was crying because having twin infants was SO hard and all I wanted was 5 straight minutes of sleep.

Well, now they are three. They are in Big Kid Beds, Big Kid Undies and their own Big Kid Rooms! Everything about them seems to be big kid!

Sweet girl twin shares a room with her 2 sisters. She loves princesses and hates taking naps. Her 'quiet time' is almost never actually quiet. She has the cutest little pout when she doesn't get what she wants. She is a sweet big sister and a devoted little sister. She always wants to help mama with the chores; making dinner, washing windows, cleaning the bathroom or doing the laundry! She loves ridding her bike and our horse. She has turned in to a super wonderful Big Kid!!

Buddy Boy is the most amazing little man you will ever meet. He is happy and almost always silly. But he also has a sweet side to him that makes my heart melt! He has a special bond with his Paps (my father in law). They are two peas in a pod. He loves almost everything that is boy.... Tractors, four wheelers, motorcycles, sandboxs and dirt!

To celebrate their 3rd year of twindom we had a Princess and Tractor BBQ. Daddy made Buddy Boy a sandbox. He loves it (the girls do too) but I totally didn't think it through. With in an hour I had sand all over my house! It's like living at the beach with out the ocean or the vacation!! We got him some new tractors to play with to go with the party theme.

Sweet Girl Twin wanted Snow White to come to her party. So we invited her and guess what? She came!! I enjoyed meshing the two themes of Snow White and Tractors!

The Food.
We had Burgers and Hot Dogs as well as.....






 

 A tractor full of hay bales!
 
 Cupcakes to look like Snow Whites dress.
 
A construction seen cake for Buddy Boy!
He was so excited to get the trucks off the top!
 
 
The Party!





 
 
The Wishing Well
 
Make a wish.
 
Throw in a penny.
 
 And get a lip gloss!
(there were cars and trucks for the boys!)
 
 
The cake!
I thought about paying someone to make the cakes
but then I decided to give it a try!
They turned out pretty good of an armature!


 
The princesses and some of our little guests!
 




 Our neighbor and someone Buddy Boy loves gave the twins a ride around the neighborhood.
Sweet girl is keeping it classy in this one!
 




 
 
Birthday questionnaire.
I separated the twins when I asked them the questions so no one would be "sharing" answers!

I have been toying with the idea of starting a blog for a while. It took me a long time because I often wondered why many 'ordinary' people have blogs. I wasn't sure I had anything worth reading to say. Whelp, here I am, hoping I have something worth reading to say! I hope to encourage at least one person (even if that person is me). I will consider my blog a success. I wanted to lay out why I named the blog 'Homemaking with Intention'. I originally was looking at 'mothering with intention', but I felt that it left out one very important person- my husband ! My primary, day in day out 'job' is a mom, but I am so much more then that. I am a wife to my husband and I run our home. So, hence 'Homemaking with intention!' When I think about the word 'homemaker' it seems so old fashioned. But, lets look at the definition. One online source states: Homemaker, noun 1. a person who manages the household of his or her own family, especiall

5 Min Friday- Listen

-
 Write for 5 minutes and link up here at Lisa-Jo Baker. Todays word- Listen. GO I think, I want 5 minutes of peace. I want 5 minutes to myself! 5 minutes without a 3 year old whining about something, without a 2 year old calling for help, 'mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy...', without a infant crying to be picked up. Then I stop and listen. Really listen . I hear a 3 year old who so desperately wants to be independent but doesn't know how to break away yet. I get to be her everything for only a few more years . I hear two very special (almost) two year olds who love me and want me to be involved in everything they are doing and learning. I get to be the one to help them learn , I get to be the one that cheers them on and encourages them. I hear a brand new sweet blessing calling for me. I am the only one she wants, I am the only one that can feed her and help her grow. I am the one who can comfort her in a split second.  When I really listen to my life- 5 min

5 Min Friday- One Month

-
One month.  Just one. So much can change is such a short time. We went from being a family of 5 to a family of 6. Sweet girl entered our world a month ago. 10 months ago when that little stick had a positive sign, I cried. I cried and then called my husband and then cried some more. I didn't believe it. How could I handle ANOTHER baby (or TWO)? I had a 2 and a half year old and twin 16 month olds. Hubby brought home more pregnancy tests- 5 of them, which all said the same thing- our life was changing again! I cried. How would I go grocery shopping if it was twins again? Would I have to have another c-section? Would this baby (or two) be healthy? I cried and call my friend- the one I KNEW would give me support and say "Yay!! What a blessing! You will be just fine." And after she said all that, I cried again, not because I was scared (ok maybe a little) but because I knew she was right- what a blessing! And a month ago that sweet blessing came into our lives- and I c
