Spring Break 2010

I was so excited for Spring Break-sleeping in, no homework, PJ days, and relaxing! We did all that but filled our days too. I tried to something fun each day with the girls. One day we painted, another made cookies, and then Thursday and Friday Charley took off work for a vacation in town-a staycation! On Thursday, Kylee had her Allergy checkup and then we headed to the bowling alley. When we got there it was packed with tons of people and you had to get put on the waiting list so we changed our plans and went to Grapevine Mills to ride the carousel and go to Gameworks. We did both of those and added in the bungee trampoline for Kylee and the mechanical monkey that Katie drove around. We bribed Kylee that if she would do a back flip on the bungee thing we would give her a dollar. We really didn't think she would do it but she did and she was so proud of herself. That evening we met my sis and her family for dinner and then went to the Lions club to see chicks, ducks and bunnies. My children were in animal heaven. On Friday we got up early and went to eat at the Ol Pancake House in Fort Worth and then got to the Science Museum before it opened which turned out to be a great decision. It was packed by noon. We left around 12:30 and headed home. That evening we prepared for Meme, Pops, GanGan, and Aunt Robin to visit. It was a great Spring Break and I was sad to get back to the busy daily routine. Summer is right around the corner!

Open House-Howdy Texan's

Kylee had her First Grade Open House right before Spring Break. She was very excited to show off her class room and work to us. The theme of the open house for first grade was Texas. We saw all her projects she had worked on and a great story she had written about music. She also got to share homemade salsa which she said was the best ever! It was good. The night was also Math night at her school so we went and played some fun games with Kylee and her school friends. She was so proud of her school. I think that is so important for her to love it and continue that attitude all through school years.

Valentine Parties

Both the girls had fun Valentine parties. Kylee's was cancelled and rescheduled due to the record snow fall and cancelling of school. Katie squeezed hers in before her school got closed early. I didn't get to go to Katie's but had a friend send me a couple pictures (thanks Alyssa!). Kylee's party was fun. They also celebrated Mrs. Word's half birthday. We had Chick-Fil-A nuggets and fruit. They played Pin the Heart on Cupid, made 2 crafts, and opened their valentines. Kylee also received a sweet message from her daddy and a friend. She was so happy and surprised about that. I always love watching my girls have fun!

Katie's Birthday Party

Katie had a very fun birthday party. What does every 3/4/5 year old want to do??? PLAY!!! SCREAM!!!! RUN!!!! Well that is what we did at our church playscape and it was truly one of my favorite parties for Katie. We had a party hostess and everything was set up and ready for the day. It was great and I recommend it to anyone. Katie got to play with her friends non stop and had a blast doing it. We had pizza for lunch and cupcakes. I had taken Katie to Party City and told her she could pick out any theme she wanted. I really wanted it to be her own. She chose My Little Pony and it turned out pretty cute. I ordered cupcake toppers from Etsy to cuten up the cupcakes and her outfit was also from Etsy. She loved it all. She also had fun when her friends got to sit by her when she opened her presents. I loved watching our sweet little 4 year old have fun at her party!

Katie's School Party!

Katie had a fun Birthday celebration at school. She brought in pink princess crown cookies with princess plates and I brought her a Princess balloon. She was so excited to also be the shining star and bring a toy and book.
