Kalei: my princess

July 12, 2006 - July 28, 2011

I miss her.

You are royally invited

This year for K's 5th birthday, she was able to invite some friends to her party. It started out as a tea party then became a tea party/manis&pedis. Then we added "make jewlery" to all that. At first I wasn't sure how many girls were going to be able to come. In the end, 5 little girls came, which was a nice number. The invitation asked that each girl come dressed up too, so we had 6 very nicely dressed little girls getting nails painted, making bracelets, and drinking out of nice glass tea cups. It was so much fun!

I made a "spa corner" for the girls to get their nails done. Aunt T and Meg (a good friend) came to do the painting. Each girl got to pick what color they wanted and then they got to pick out a polish to take home.

I even talked C into being the "butler" and opening the door for the girls as they came in. He was such a good sport and did a great job.

Here are the goodie bags that each girl got to take home. It had a nail file, a crown, a silly band, a squinky, some Godiva chocolate, and then the polish that they chose. K chose the purple; no shock there. (the scroll laying in front was the invitation)

Here is one little girl coming in with her puppy all dressed up too!

And of course Aunt T made the cake and did such a good job! I love her cakes!

I made some "fancier" food for snacks. The vegies were arranged to look like flowers, cheese cut out to look like flowers on top of crackers, fruit in a baggie to look like a butterfly, and fruit roll ups to look like sushi. Fun!

K got some nice presents too. She got: glow in the dark-make your own shapes-sidewalk chalk,
a new puzzle, a new purse (with $2 hidden inside), a new game for her "kindle", a Hello Kitty watch, a bath Barbie, a new book, a new umbrella, and new sunglasses with a really nice case. Plus some money, that she has already spent.

I think she had a good time. I know all the girls did. I think their favorite part was making the jewlery (I forgot a pictre of that). I know I had fun planning it all.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, K GIRL!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday K girl!

It's so hard to believe that she's 5!


She might drive me nuts at times, but I love her! She makes me laugh!

Kids day camp = mom's fun week

My kids went to day camp at Uncle J and aunt T's church a few weeks ago. It was 8-5 Monday thru Friday. They had such a blast. I'm hoping to get some pictures so I can post about what they did. Still working on the pictures.

But for me, I had my own plans.


Monday: my one goal for the entire week was to get the pantry all cleaned out. If I got nothing else but that done, I would be happy. I am please to report that I did get my pantry done and more besides. I got the fridge, the oven, the lazy susan, all but one cupboard, and only one drawer--all cleaned out. Very pleased. Here is the midst of the storm.

Tuesday: I had Dei Gratia in the morning and then went home and got more cleaning done.



Wednesday: After I dropped the kids off in the morning, I started shopping. I went to Menards, the mall, Kohls, Target, Kroger, and CVS. Plus I went to lunch with Daddy.




Thursday: I spent the day with Aunt T. We were supposed to be scrapbooking. We didn't get started with that until way late in the afternoon. So we didn't get much done. But we did have a very yummy lunch. Sushi from a new place right around the corner from them.

Friday: I spent the day at home again getting regular cleaning and laundry done.

I know the kids had a fun but tiring week. I could say the same for me.


(to add to all the business, C kept winning his tourney games and so had unexpected games and practices through out the week. But that's all another post)
