Shrek-a-thon

We love Shrek in our house. So before we took the girls to see Shrek IV (my mom thought the one in theatres was Shrek 2 - ha ha where has she been?) we had a Shrek-a-thon. Every weekend we would watch one of the movies and eat a GREEN meal! The girl's LOVED snuggling up to watch the film with their BRAND NEW cousin Ceilo! (More about this in another blog)

Shrek 1: Homemade green pizza, green salad, green pudding, and limeade...

Shrek 2: Green pasta with green zucchini and green broccoli and limeade! Plus, homemade vanilla ice cream dyed, well you guessed it, GREEN!

Shrek 3: Green enchiladas with green topping of lettuce, green onions, cilantro, and avocado. Plus green chocolate chip cookies!

I was lucky enough to have gotten PINK eye during this time. Oh wait, that doesn't go with the green theme. Dang, but I really did get it!

Then off to the movies... where the girls and I dresses in all GREEN... and then took our pic in front of Toy Story 3?

O.K. I know this is our third vacation in a month... but now we are officially out of money and energy so enjoy, it may be a while before we go anywhere cool again :)

Here are the cousins eating their breakfast. My kids had NEVER had sugar cereal before. They were in heaven.

At the beach, in a hole...
Ta-Da. Little Bailey's right butt cheek could be seen throughout out our vacation. It just did NOT want to stay in her swimsuit!

Best Friends.

More cousins. I am realizing that I have no pictures of any adults! I promise there were some there. And I mean some. There 10 children and 10 adults. Kinda scary odds since the kids had no fear and no limit to their energy!

They are truly becoming best friends.

Kennedy's one bite she took of her s'more. She thought they were "yucky." Strange.

Pretending to sleep in Beka and Jacob's tent.

We made it home with only two of us sick (Jer and Bailey)and the other two to follow.

BUT it was worth it!
