Made in China

The kids are very into where things are made.  Every where we go, they are looking for the "Made in China" branding.  At lunch one day they were examining their cups, plates and silverware.  Chloe thought she was funny and stuck her foot up on the table and says look do you see where it says made in China?  Harper quickly chirped up, "Chloe!!!!  You are not made in China, you are made in Heaven!"  Conversation ended :)

7 YEARS!!

Why do they have to grow up?!  The more birthday's they have, the closer I am to them leaving me!  These two are more than marvelous.  They have such amazing hearts and care so much about each other and everyone in our family.  I love the bond they have and how compatible they are.  They are beautiful inside and out and I am so proud of them.  For their birthday I got them all pumped up to go to Kate's Skate for the first time.  We arranged for Mom to come watch the little kids while we took Carly, Chloe, Harper and their friend Avery to the skating rink.  We met up with Dad who had Reilly and Reagan.  All children were beaming from ear to ear and bubbling with excitement.  We waltz into Kate's and the place is desolate.  We finally find a person and she looks at us like we are crazy and says, "Oh, we are always closed on Wednesdays!"  Seriously?!!  I couldn't believe I let them down so much.  I felt horrible.  Carly and Chloe, well, they were so calm about it and just waited for me to figure out what I was going to do.  I remembered that Monkey Joe's offered 1/2 price on Wednesdays, so we all loaded back up and headed into Matthews.  Good save, but still not the same.  I know they all enjoyed it but I still want to take them skating.  After that, we came home for some pizza and cake with all the Grandparents and enjoyed their special day.  Happy Birthday Carly and Chloe!
