A Baker's Dozen

Emma started a birthday tradition a few years ago... sleepover party. She loves having friends come over for a birthday sleepover. In the beginning we only had a few girls actually stay the night... well this year it was different...

12 girls stayed... yes TWELVE plus Emma = THIRTEEN girls! What was I thinking??

There were games....


Presents...


A Movie...


Breakfast by Daddy...


And lots of laughs, giggling, non-sleeping girls, music, dancing, a spa and lots of fun!

We went through a 6 ft sub sandwich, 2 family size bags of chips, 1 box of Mandarin oranges, 12 cupcakes & 1 mini birthday cake (Thank you Rachael!), 1 gallon of ice cream, 2 gallons of Apple juice, 1 grocery size bag of popcorn, gallons of water, 36 pancakes, 14 sausages and 2.5 rolls of toilet paper!

All of this without a single catfight, mean word or exclusion! Yeah girls! You rock!

I would say it was a very successful birthday...

Happy Birthday Emma!

Safety Day

Our family assisted with the fire department for it's annual Fire Prevention Week Safety Day. It was a day filled with popcorn, hot dogs and fun activities! Emma made many, many bags of popcorn for the kids... After all her hard work, she had a little fun with dad... Then she got to demonstrate some rescue equipment... It was a good day watching all the kids visit Sparky, rotate the various stations and enjoy the yummy popcorn Emma made!

Sammy

Sammy April 15, 1998 - February 20, 2014 Sammy was quite the cat. He was the king of the house for sure. Mac the 67 lb Boxer was afraid of him. He knew how to get what he wanted. He was a butter eating crazy cat. He lived a good life with lots of changes. From a cross country move to the arrival of a new man (Robert) to the birth of a child (Emma) to the adoption of a four legged brother (Mac). Yet through it all he knew he was king. I miss him lots but am happy for the time we had together.

Day 4 - Blast Off Camp

Today at camp Emma got to tour the brand new planetarium at the museum. She said it was pretty cool. Then they had lunch and made a map after lunch. And that was about it! Though I think there was more that they did, she just can't remember! But it does make me thankful that I homeschool because I know what she does all day! She did say that she wishes she could go for another week! Well that's good! I guess she doesn't miss us too much!
