The Jones Girls

This afternoon I took Savannah to her friend, Brooklyn’s 6th birthday.  It was a really fun carnival theme.   

Then, Savannah and I met Cliff and the triplets at Home Depot. The girls picked out flowers to plant in our front yard garden for tomorrow which is my Mother’s Day present.   Savannah picked out some pretty pink trumpet flowers.   Amanda picked out pretty little red flowers, Maryssa picked out pretty white lace flowers, and Miranda picket out pretty little pink flowers.

I drove the triplets home and Cliff took Savvy on an errand.    

After we got home, Cliff and Savvy showed up a while later with a HUGE flower arrangement and a really nice Mother’s Day card.  What a nice suprise!!

Today was our turn to bring snacks into the preschool class.  I have 3 snack days in a row for the triplets.    Also with the snack day, the child gets to bring in a share toy and be line leader.  Today was Miranda’s share day.  She brought in Minnie Mouse of course.

This morning I woke up at 6am to make the Mickey Mouse pancakes which would be for the snack today.    I made a dozen of them.  I also brought in whipping cream, raisins, and maple syrup so the kids could decorate their Mickey Mouse pancakes.  They had a blast!!

I love being creative for the kids’ snacks.

Today our neighbors, Amy and Rob, came over for dinner.    I told them that today was the last day the Electric Parade would be at Disneyland.    We decided that we would go see it tonight. 

So, we left 3 hours early to make sure we got a good place to watch the parade.   Could you believe there was no room to sit!!  We lucked out and found a handicap area, since Amanda has club radian hand and she loses balance, she qualifies to be in the handicap area.   We got an upfront and great spot.  We had to wait over 2 hours for the parade.   I brought lots of dessert snacks and drinks for the girls.    Finally about 30 minutes before the parade which happens to be their bedtime, at 8:30pm they all crashed out.  I had brought their warm jackets and thick, warm blankets.  They were all bundled up with full bellies and crashed out.

They woke up right before the parade and loved watching it.  I am so glad Amy came with us.  We had such a wonderful time.

This weekend is the last weekend for the Electric Parade at Disneyland.  It will be moving to Disneyworld in Florida.

With this in mind, we decided to go to Disneyland today.  Our friend Britney went with us.  We had a total blast. We went on every ride in Fantasy Land.    The girls had a blast driving cars and a nice cast member gave us fast passes to go on a couple of rides without waiting in line.

So, Britney took the triplets to the Rocket Ship ride and I took Savannah on Star Tours and then we went on Space Mountain.  Space Mountain was the biggest ride Savannah has ever been on and this was a huge and big deal!    She was scared and loved it all at the same time.  When we coasted in after the ride, she asked, mommy, can we go again!!    It was so much fun!!

At about 8pm, we ventured over to California to watch the Electric Parade.    It was really crowded and we couldn’t find a spot to park and view.   The girls were crashing out and exhausted.   So we grabbed a quick dinner and then went home.   Hopefully we can see it this weekend before it ends.

This afternoon at 3pm we went to Sanford Studios to do a retake for a group picture.   Miranda kept crossing her eyes during the photo session at the preschool so they let us do a retake in their studio today.

Well, Maryssa was very uncooperative and we couldn’t get one good shot in!  I was so frustrated.    Lots of work getting them ready and nothing to show for it….Ugh….

Today after our La Habra Moms Club meeting,we took my friend, Liz, out to lunch for her birthday.    She brought her son and I brought all of the girls.  We went to our favorite sushi spot, Higo Sushi.    We ate a lot and had a blast!  Our friend and owner of the restaurant, Junko, surprised Liz with a birthday green tea ice cream dessert – yummo!!   It was a lot of fun!!

Today we went to my friend, Chrissy’s daughter, Samantha’s 6 birthday party.  Chrissy and I were pregnant at the same time and our due dates were on the same day.   She wound up going over a week overdue and I wound up giving birthday a few weeks early.  So that is why Savannah’s birthday is 4 weeks different than Samantha’s.  Also, did you notice how close their names are.  Cute, huh!!

Anyway, Samantha’s birthday party was at Chuck E. Cheese.   I took all of the girls and we had a blast!!    It was so nice to see everyone and Samantha is so adorable.  The girls got kites as a party favor – how neat!!
