For their birthday they got to open one present before school and then off to school they went. I got to go to school and tell their class a little bit about them and pass out treats. Then it was early out day so we went to Provo Beach and played there for a little while. Afterwards, we went to dinner at Pizza Pie Cafe and came home and had brownies.
That Saturday after their birthday we had their friend party. It was a unicorn theme and they had fun playing games, doing crafts, having a pinata, pizza and cake. I was kind of proud of the cake I made for them and thought it turned out cute.
Maybe the highlight of the day came when we got our first pet in our family. They had seen this YouTube video of a stuffed rabbit turning into a real rabbit if they used a Harry Potter wand and said these certain words and then while blind folded, turned around 3 times. So we tried it and we turned a goldfish cracker into a real fish! So we have a blue beta fish they named Diamond. And oh they love this fish. They talk to him, feed him, try to get him to do tricks and even decorate his fish bowl for special occasions. Welcome to the family Diamond.
Aria and Siena are at such a cute age. They are gaining a little more independence in doing things themselves and are eager to act grown up even if they still want me to dress them every night. They've recently started getting up on Saturdays and getting their own breakfast (this is my favorite because then I'm forced to stay in bed!) We had to move their beds parallel and right next to each other this summer. There are countless nights now that I go in and they have their arms/hands touching and if one of them is scared the other one is right there to comfort them.
They love 1st grade. They love going to school all day and feel so grown up eating lunch at school and doing all the big kid stuff. They love playing on the monkey bars at school and came home quite a lot when school started with blisters on their hands. They even started walking home (well until it got too cold, now they insist I pick them up) but this is my favorite scene as I look at my window while I'm working and see their heads coming up the hill and turning the corner onto our street.
