Livvie Sings and Roux

Olivia loves The Little Mermaid.  You can hear a little of "Part of That World" below.  She's also playing with her Ariel Polly Pocket at the same time.

On Saturday we tried to go see Wall-E at the Family Matinee playing at the Kennedy School (great pizza right out of the oven!).  For the un-initiated, the matinees at the Kennedy School are super cheap, second run movies with couches, pizza and beer.  The Kennedy School is an old elementary school converted into a brewery, bar, restaurant, and movie theater (in the old gym, so it's perfect for strollers). 

Luke and Violet haven't been to the Mommy Matinee (same thing as a family matinee, just during the week) in about 2 months.  They used to do great during the movie (by that I mean that they had a bottle and went to sleep, of course), but now they can crawl and eat and movies don't work for them anymore.  Michael took them to a nearby park for a ride on the swing instead.  That's something they really enjoy.  I wish I took some video of this because they were making soft cooing noises the entire time they were on the swing.

Once again, someone at the park asked how far apart these two were in age.  The boy has only got about an inch and half and two pounds on her.  I think it's his gigantic head that makes people think they aren't related.  Doesn't help that Violet is still bald.

After the usual afternoon nap, the kids went to Kim and Matt's while Michael and Jen went to Danielle's, our next door neighbor, 40th birthday party at Roux.  Much fun was had, the food was amazing and over 30 friends came to toast Dani being over the hill.  Jen discovered a new fav drink - the Sunday Confession and had the resulting headache on Sunday.

We sat next to Roni and David who also have young twins.  We spent much of dinner swapping twin stories.  Their girls, Lilly and Kate, are only about 6 months younger than Luke and Violet.  It seems like big age gap at the moment, but it will start closing fast.  Another highlight of the evening was unloading our exer-saucer (also known as the neglect-a-chair) on Roni and David.  One less large colorful plastic contraption in our living room!!

Livvie spent Saturday night playing dress up with Lana who is about 6 months younger than Liv and the two princesses had a great time.  That is, until it was time to go, then there was much weeping.  I mean seriously, it was only 12:30am, why couldn't she hold it together?
