Catie recently celebrated her 8th birthday with a few of her close friends. She insisted on having a guinea pig cake with replicas of her pets Chocolate and Spike.
Kisses for Spike...
If this scene looks familiar, it should. Catie enjoyed Jax birthday so much at Stars and Strikes that she decided to host her party there too. Bowling, games and prizes... what's not to love?
It always amazes us how long it takes the kids to deliberate which piece of the junk prizes to select! As you can see, they were pleased with their choices. Little do they know, it's all heading to the trash within 24 hrs...
Catie loved opening the gifts from her thoughtful friends and we were excited to add to our household toy collection. We would like to implement a "no presents" birthday party policy, but the kids would never forgive us!
To cap off the evening, we hosted six kids for a slumber party and they were actually very well behaved (no.. not much sleep)! Once the lights were turned off, they lasted less than five minutes and move up stairs to Catie's bedroom...
School is finally back in full swing and Jax and Tiger mom are back at the late night homework.
Midyear awards at KMS... Principal's Honor Roll and perfect attendance for Jackson.
Nice work!
We have been trying to launch our new kite for several weeks and never seem to have enough wind. We finally had some success over winter break over at Henderson Park.
Up up and away....
