Party rock

We like a good party - and we've been turning most every day into a party as of late.  The party rock lifestyle which we have been embracing is largely due to Miss. Henni who wants her top 40 blasting all the time so that she can dance, dance, and dance a bit more.  Oliver, Davis and I have been warming up to the top 40 and we've been shaking our booty a bit more (and probably a bit more appropriately as we'd previously been doing much of our dancing to the Wurzel's "Combine Harvester").
Last weekend we had a super fun birthday party for Frankie.  Frankie turned one and her mom and dad threw her a big party that included a bouncy house and swimming.  Oliver spent a good two hours in the bouncy house and Henni probably spent a good hour in the house.  While we willingly popped Oliver in the house on our arrival, it took a bit more coaxing from Henni for us to let her in - the house was filled with bigger kids and Henni is well, not quite one.  But after watching Henni repeatedly throw herself at house and repeatedly try to climb into the house herself we decided to give it a go.  I think there were many who thought we were a bit crazy, but Henni thought we were crazy every time we tried to pull her out to give her a break - the little Badger did everything possible to get herself back to bouncing.

Henni is insistent on feeding herself now - because of this we need to invest in Tyvek suits

When the bouncing was over Henni was literally falling asleep standing up, so I went to try to put her down for a nap.  In a rookie move I walked past the swimming pool - the very pool Oliver was just about to jump in.  Henni suddenly was wide awake and wiggled herself into her suit and got herself into the pool with amazing speed.

As of late we've been breaking out the glow sticks for bath time -- glow sticks glowing, lights out...super fun bath time.  Well, this morning Oliver woke up and said that he dreamed of having a glow stick party.  One where all the kids from the neighborhood come over, "get all crazy like," and then follow a trail of glow sticks to some cookies.  Party on dude.  Tonight we had our little glow stick party and it was great fun.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to capture the glowing glow sticks, but hopefully you get the idea - good times

 A little side note about our party rock lifestyle.  We start partying when we get up which is around the 5:30/6:00 hour and because only the littlest one in our house takes a couple (short) naps we end our days pretty early - as in the wee ones in bed by 6:30 or 7:30 at the latest and Davis and I are out by 10.  While some might argue that these hours are not party hours- I invite those people to join us for a day...we do party, hard.
