BINKI BURNING PARTY!

Last Friday night we had a binki burning party for Parker because, well, we're way over due for getting rid of his binki's (as I'm sure you all have noticed). :) So, we asked him if he wanted to get rid of all his binki's by having a binki buring party and, being the pyro that he is, he was all for the idea and super excited! We let him plan the menu and let him pick one friend to have over for the occasion. He chose pizza and Ice cream for the food, root beer to drink and his friends Kacey and Colin (which turned out to be great because Colin had just gotten rid of his binki last week too.) over for company. After we were done eating we went outside to commence with the binki burning. First we had him take the scissors and cut the tops off all the binki's, then he (along with Kasey and Colin) threw all the binki's and binki tops in the fire (we told them that the binki's went to binki heaven and were much happier there where they couldn't be sucked on)! They thought it was so much fun! Then we came in and had some ice cream, followed by a few Hulk imitations performed by Parker and Colin and then called it a night. The great news is that so far Parker hasn't asked for a binki ONCE! He's doing so good! He even found a few binki's after the party and brought them right to us, asked to cut the tops off and then threw them away so they could join the other binki's. I'm so excited to finally be binki free!!

Mindi, that is the funniest thing ever! Me and Michael rolled laughing and wished we did that with Alyssa. She horded her's like nobody's business. We cut all of the nipples off and she still sucked on them. Finally she got tired of them and tossed them in the garbage. But boy, oh boy burning of them is hilarious!

Way to go Parker! That's huge. Maybe you can get Kylee to quit sucking her thumb.

Congrats on a baby girl! That'll be fun!

That's awesome! When I first looked at your entry title, I thought it said "Bikini burning party" and I thought "ok, so they have some 'interesting' parties down there in queen creek!"

Have you ever recieved that email where the words are all mixed up but you can still read the message? Well i kind of did the same thing with this blog post and it definately made the message more interesting. Instead of reading binki's I was reading bikini's and wow what an interesting story that was. I couldn't wait to see these burning bikini's?!? hahaha
I'm even going to college but don't tell my prof's about this one they might take away my good grades. ;o)
