The Birthday Girl

My budding artist’s belated birthday party went really well! No one got hurt and nothing got broken, which is a miracle when you host a party for 20 five-year-olds. Most importantly, Lily thought it was a great party, and that’s what counts. (How could it go wrong when you have cupcakes and ice-cream?)

You know those dreadful little painted figures you see in OTHER people’s china cabinets? Well, it turns out they are not so dreadful when it is your children who have painted them. In fact, they may just be considered works of art. Masterpieces, if you will!

LOOK! This little cupid now has a front and center spot in my china cabinet, along with the frog that Emmy painted mostly pink.

Look at those rosy cheeks!

Emmy loved painting this frog! She loved painting it so much, in fact,
that when the first coating of paint dried, she went back and added a second coat!

It was the perfect party for my little Lily. Mom would have approved!

Emmy loves running around in her diaper at bedtime, yelling, “Imma naked mole rat!” Seeing as how our thermostat is set to 65 degrees, I try to round her up to get her pajamas on as quickly as possible. Two-year-olds + Bedtime = Trouble

We took Emmy bowling for her first time on Sunday. She didn’t care how many pins she knocked down, or if the ball even made it down the alley. All she cared about was the PINK BOWLING BALL we found for her to use!

Lily has been bowling a couple of times before, and since she insisted on throwing her 7-pound ball by herself, it rolled as slowly as molasses. It always made its way to the pins, eventually. Ed and I were so glad we only prepaid for ONE game. Otherwise we would still be there, watching Lily’s ball roooolllll doooowwwwnnnn theeee allllleeeeyyy.

I just remembered I left a laundry basket of clean shirts on the laundry room floor in the basement. I really need to go get that basket, or a spider is going to crawl into my shirts. There is probably a spider crawling in that basket as I write this. A spider? Heck, there’s probably a whole family of spiders moving in RIGHT NOW!
