Saturday: Alexa's Birthday & Rodeo Houson

This has truly been a weekend for "oops, mommy forgot" - and it's realllly bad. Rather than focus on all of the mistakes I've made, let's focus on the fun things we did manage to do when my brain worked halfway and the world conspired to make us successful despite my embarrassing lack of with-it-ness.

On Saturday morning Alexa had her 3rd birthday party at WonderWild! It was so much fun!

These girls looooove to slide!

:)

 In the following video Clara sounds unhappy but it was because she couldn't decide which side she wanted to slide down. Toddler problems.

Once our time in the play area was up, we moved into the playroom for snacks, drinks, and cake and ice cream.

Best way to eat cake - all at once :)

'Mo water? 'mo water? mo' water? mo' water? mo' water? OK!

Hugs bye bye

Lots of little friends! (there were a few who refused to take part of this photo op as well :)

 Clara wasn't quite finished playing, so we decided to take her to CFA to simply play after the party. There she made a new friend, Max, who was 3 or 4 years old and they had the most hilarious ongoing conversation I've ever heard. Sometimes they were on the same topic and sometimes not, but seriously HILARIOUS.

Then it was home for lunches and naps. Then when everyone woke up it was time to go to the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo! 

It was pouring down rain on her way in and then it was realllly noisy, so it took a few minutes for Clara to adjust to the extra stimuli.
