kids choice weekend

what a super fun weekend ... e and i are exhausted, but it was sooo worth it.

on saturday, we went to the fall for fairfax kidsfest before heading to a birthday party. the weather was perfect and there was so much for the kids to do. we painted pumpkins, visited the petting zoo (where bulilit was scared to actually pet the animals), bounced around the moonbounce for a few minutes and took a ride on the train. on our way to the birthday party, bulilit passed out in the car without a whine (or milk!).

the kids loved the birthday party too, because it was at my gym which meant they got to run around and play. they definitely worked up an appetite, scarfing down the pizza and cake before playing some more. bulilit kind of loved the ball pit. when we were leaving, belly asked, "mommy, can we come back here?"

(yes, that's bulilit face-down in the ball pit. she popped right back up as soon as i snapped this picture.)

after the party, we headed back to the kidsfest, because e didn't get a chance to sample festival food. once we got back, we watched a ballet production (with belly saying she could do it too), went back to the petting zoo (bulilit is obsessed with the "mamas" aka llamas) and ate bad-for-you-but-tastes-so-good food. the girls also got to make crafts.

on sunday, we went to the wizards fanfest at mason. not as much fun as fall for fairfax, but it was still a nice day and being outside was a requisite. bulilit and i took a picture with g-wiz, who she called the blue elmo. she was a little scared of him but liked the mystics panda. while waiting for scrimmage to start, i asked belly if she wanted to be like the wizards cheerleaders or play basketball and she goes, "i think i want to play basketball." we watched the first half of the wizards scrimmage, then headed home for naps and chores.

one of the best things about this weekend was watching belly and bulilit play together and hearing them laugh, doing silly things that never fail to bring a smile to our faces... including belly's renditions of billionaire and california gurls and bulilit's rendition of justin bieber's baby. LOVE.
