the beginning of the birthday celebrations...

Zander officially turns two on Thursday so we started the birthday celebrations this weekend, having my Mom and Step-Dad, Brother and sister-in-law and niece and nephew over for dinner on Sunday. What a busy day Sunday turned out to be! Grace and I went to church while the boys stayed home and cleaned up. When I got home, I made lunch, fed Zander and Grace, ate quickly and started cooking dinner. I made a chicken pot pie earlier this week and Stephen requested it for dinner and it was a hit! The kids had a blast playing with all of Zanders toys and stuff and Zander got a couple of great gifts. Nanny and Poppy (my mom and step-dad) got him a cool toy jeep, and Uncle Jack, Aunt Amnath and the kids got him a Halloween costume, which I love!!!! I was out looking for a costume for him this past week and couldn't find anything for him, not to mention that I had no clue what to dress him up as. Problem solved! This year Zander is going to be Ratatouille. Sounds silly but he looks so stinkin cute in the costume, I can't wait for him to wear it! I'll have to post a picture later, hopefully I can figure out how to make it small.... So other than that, not much else is new. I was hit with a great idea on what to blog on, concerning my kids, last night but the idea has flown the mental coop. Maybe it'll come back to me later! Hope everyone is having a great Monday morning!
