Don't you wish you were all this cool!




Tomorrow is Cheyenne's 16th birthday so this weekend we grabbed my little SIL whom is Cheyenne's best friend to celebrate. I wanted the girls to have a memorable night so we spent it at........................................




















the Laundromat, cause I'm such a rocking mom!



Now it ain't all that bad, cause between slaving away at washing and folding clothes (from 8pm til 1030pm), they got to play bumper baskets...

Now today, I did decide to take them out to eat. Yes, I know that nothing could top yesterdays fun. We went to HuHot where we were lucky enough to arrive during the busiest time, and got to sit outside with those little pager do dads. The girls posed for the pictures while the sun burned down on their vampire white skin. Hey nothing like getting a burn waiting for some food.



Mercede was bummed to find out that the cigarettes she found on the bench were empty, but she did enjoy showing us what she planned to do in a week when she turns 18.


We finally get in after obtaining 3rd degree burns, and the girls headed to the line to get their food cooked.





Aw girls, they so sweet, and the guys in back of them are cooking our food. Yum

I didn't realize they were cooking our food in sweat, until I took this photo, and the grill....are there even words??????


Mercede says"Thanks for the food that makes me poop!"



Aidan and Cheyenne dreaming of doing laundry again!

Hope Cheyenne enjoyed her early birthday weekend, cause all she gets tomorrow is a spotlight on my blog ;)

You're mother like I do. FOr my twins birthday I took away their bottles and then left them home so I could go out to dinner. ha ha. Glad fun was had for all at the Laundromat,and that the following day was so nice. Happy Birthday to your oldest!

stefanie said...

I love your photo story. You should make it into a little book.

I would have never thought the laundromat could be so much fun. I want to go for a ride!

Hope you didn't notice the sweat and the grill until after you ate. Ew.

I sure hope vampire pale skin becomes the new tan because we're all over that.

I hope tomorrow's birthday can top the party. Enjoy!

So adorable! I love this post!
The photo of your daughter fake smoking. I. Was. Rolling. So funny. My daughter likes the candy cigarettes that puff out powdered sugar when you blow on them. Not looking forward to...what did you call it? Eighteen?

Trooper Thorn said...

Happy Birthday to Cheyenne. Who knew the laundromat had rides? I know two kids around here who won't be disappointed at their next birthdays.

Thanks for your comments on my Olympic blogging. I think they always showered, but it used to not get so much camera time.

Marlo said...

I wish I could get my boys to be so excited about doing laundry!

Sweaty guy = ewwww although I think Mercede's poop comment makes up for it! So priceless! Gotta love pure honesty. :D

Staci said...

you are an inspiration. I dont say that because of what you "put up with" as other people might say....i say that because of how you LOVE. I think ALL children are a blessing from God. Having DS makes them no less human. Thank you for blessing me with your story and your life. Your girls are BEAUTIFUL!!!

Lori said...

OMG PPPPPPPPPPPPFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHA

That is so funny! At least the girls know how to make the most out of every situation. lol

EmBee said...

Love that first picture with the sign in the back 'Not responsible for items left unattended'

And that grill? Call the FDA IMMEDIATELY!

Kim Davis said...

Hilarious pictures in the laundromat!!! (I'm so not showing my little Christopher, he would LOVE that!!)

sassy stephanie said...

Girl,

You better watch out for that one! All the beer and ciggy talk! Sounds like she is planning quite a party for herself!

scrappysue said...

i heard someone was having a birthday - and not just the girls! happy birthday gayla!

suzy said...

That grill looks disgusting. Sometimes it is better not to see what goes on as long as you like the food. I love your blog.

Anna Lefler said...

OK, I loved this post. That's my kind of restaurant and my kind of birthday!

:^) Anna

wendy said...

OMG, how much fun is that?! Love the laundry idea!

Happy SITS day!

Mandy said...

That sounds like fun!!

Susan said...

Sounds like a great birthday to me. Looks like they all had a great time.

Melissa Lester said...

That would be a perfect birthday for me, as long as someone else did my laundry, then folded and put it away also. Oh, a girl can dream!

Karol said...

The most random birthday adventures are the best! I'm sure they'll definitely remember that forever!!

Melodie said...

Bumper baskets looks like a great birthday game!

Creative Junkie said...

You ARE a rockin' mom! I loved this post!

jewelstreet said...

larkswing said...

hehe - the bumper baskets at the laundry was great!!! For me those simple off kilter events made for my best memories!

Anonymous said...

You know, this will probably be the birthday she talks about for the rest of her life! :)

magpie said...

That looks like it was an awesome b-day. I love the bumper carts.

I think the best birthdays are just having fun with those you love. I'm glad she enjoyed her birthday!

FROGGITY! said...

mrsmouthy said...

Now I know what I want to do for my next birthday!! It's not WHERE you go--it's what you DO when you get there. You're a rocking mom!!

koopermom said...

How fun! I love HuHot, but yeah. That photo is very unappetizing!

katylinvw said...

lol! love the laundromat pics! - the sweat is pretty disgusting, though :)

hope you're enjoying your SITS day :)

Christine said...

Sounds like a good time was had by all.

Debbie Y. said...

I love the bumper buggies. And going out to eat used to be my favorite birthday thing to do until I had gastric bypass surgery. Now my birthday gets passed by cause I don't eat and can't have cake. I would love to have a birthday like that. The food "not the sweat" looked good.

Happy SITS day.

Bebe said...

This looks like the way to spend a birthday! I want to play bumper baskets on my next one!! :)
Hugs, Bebe

Michelle said...

You are one rockin' fun mom! I can see where your daughter gets her sense of humor. You are one funny lady.

Leiann said...

Those were the days...when little things were so amusing and fun! That racks me up that she told the guy thanks for the food that makes me poop! Kids are so fun!

EmmaP said...

bumper baskets sounds like fun. it'd probably take in a redneck area... a redneck's carnival ride - i can see it now!!! cute post. looks like she had a great bday!

Unknown said...

You have some great pics!
The girls are so adorable.
I love when people can have fun wherever they are and whatever they are doing! We do things like that all the time.
I am going to add you to my blog list so I can keep up with those adorable girls.
Oh, and EWWWWW on the sweat! That's just NASTY!

April Kennedy said...

I can't look at the picture of your girls without falling instantly in love. I have always held a special place in my heart for children with Down's Syndrome...actually special needs children in general. It should have come at no surprise to me, that we would deliver a litte guy with special needs. When the doctor told me that Blake would be born with Spina Bifida I freaked and actually said, "Had you told me he had Downs I would be fine." I just didn't know enough about Spina Bifida to be comfortable right away. These special 'little ones' are precious and we are enjoying ours as much as you are enjoying yours! Thanks for your blog!

Crazy Momma said...

Birthday at the laundromat...are you preparing her for motherhood? Isn't that how we mothers all spend our birthdays? Doing laundry, making dinners, changing diapers....

Too cute!

Avery Tales said...

I never knew a laundromat could be so much fun. I'm going to think of your girls the next time I'm slaving over piles of clothes!

Rhea said...

You have such a great sense of humor. Those were awesome photos with great commentary! The cook drenched in sweat...nice.

Lavender n Lattés said...

Sounds like you could turn any situation into a fun time! (Laundromat - Birthday - Bumper Baskets) -- I'm not sure I would have thought of that! Great Post!

S Club Mama said...

Wow, two birthdays so close together...busy mom that time of year ;) ;) Great time though...I think it sounds fun!

The Boss Lady said...

Seriously...a laundromat party? You kick ass! :)

Lorie said...

They look like they had fun at the laundromat! What great kids!!

Anonymous said...

Laundry birthdays are the best. Laundry bumper carts, you've got to be the coolest mom ever. I love your daughter's comment about the food that makes her poop. Wonder if it's all the sweat that goes in to cooking it?

Cheryl said...

How fun!

I would be looking like one of those guys if I had to work at a hot grill that big.

Tabitha Blue said...

Looks like fun! Parents can make fun out of almost anything. It sounds perfect... big gross sweaty grill removed.

Mammatalk said...

Now that's some good clean fun!

ChezChani said...

As fun as that sounded, I hope I never have to spend my bday that way. Wait, I gave up bdays long ago.

Natalia said...

You are a cool mom!!!

Ronda's Rants said...

You rock Mom...I don't think a better birthday could have been had!!!

Amy said...

That was sweet! Great photos. I say a blog can't be a great blog without some great photos :D

Live.Love.Eat said...

Goes to show it doesn't matter what you do, only who you're with and if you bring detergent!!

Allegro ma non troppo said...

Very nice! On my little guy's birthday, we had to go to the garbage tip / rubbish dump. It was his favourite part of the day...

Heather said...

I so wanna play bumper cars!

Shanda said...

What is it about the laundromat? My kids LOVE it...in fact I've done a post on it before too.

We only go there when the laundry is completely out of control.

Michelle said...

Awww, Happy Birthday to her (albeit very belate -- or maybe very early?)! What fun for her.

jenn said...

You can do laundry at my house anytime you want to...

Shannon said...

bumper baskets looks like fun!!!

Vicki said...

What a great birthday! I don't know if you could pay me to eat at that sweat grill though :) Her comment is priceless: "thanks for the food that makes me poop"!!!

Jenni said...

Great pictures, especially at the laundromat. And it sounds like you also had a fun night eating out!

Congratulations on your SITS day! :)

Unknown said...

I bet the bumper baskets will go down in history as the best birthday game ever!

Pinktulip said...

It's the simple things that is the most fun and the most memorable. Happy Birthday Cheyenne!

Jaden Paige said...

I've always wanted to visit one of these restaurants where you bring your food up in a bowl like that and then they cook it! It seems like fun.... despite the filthy grill... And the back sweat. Can we just pretend we didn't see that?

Lilly said...

Ahhhhhh, to be sweet 16 again. Gorgeous post and gorgeous girls.
