Sophie's Birthday Weekend

We had a fun weekend for Sophie's Birthday. I took the girls to the mall to let them spend some of their birthday money. There was a Kraft Mac and Cheese/Burger King/Crayola sponsored event happening in the center court of the mall. First the girls got to do a Mac and Cheese Race. They had to pick up the HUGE macaronis and put them in the BK container.

Then they got to make some macaroni art.

They also got to hug a Cheezy Dino.

Sophie and Lola went to see the Easter Bunny. Mommy snapped this picture of Sophie before the lady told me I wasn't allowed to take my own pictures.

The girls and I of course made a cake for Sophie's birthday. Sophie wanted Tom and Jerry and a big number 7 on her cake this year.

Tom

Sophie loved her cake!

She wanted to take a picture of Mommy holding her cake.

My big girl is 7!

Too many pics of Sophie...Lola wants her picture taken too!

Daddy lighting the candles.

Sophie blowing out her 7 candles.

Brian couldn't wait to eat Jerry.

Lola wanted the 7, Sophie wanted the S and Mommy likes the corner pieces.

My pretty cake didn't stay pretty for long.

Hairbanger's Ball

I went to see Hairbanger's Ball at the Vogue on Broadripple with my friend Heather, her husband, and several others. We had a blast. I had not seen Heather in about 10 years so it was great to catch up!

Hairbanger's Ball

For those who don't know, they cover "hair band" songs from the '80's. Poison, GnR, Skid Row, Cinderella, etc.

In front of the comedy club next door.

Our feet were tired so we went into the Beaver Saloon to find a place to sit down.
We got there just in time to witness the spanking of a bachelor on the bar.

Of course we had to pose with the beaver!

Okay, now we may have had a little bit to drink.

Dress Like Your Favorite Book Character Day

Sophie in the Hat

There was a book parade through the school.

Of course Lola had to dress up too!

First Grade Poem Night

The first grade had a poem night where all of the first graders (that wanted to participate) could perform some of the poems they had learned through out the year. Sophie said she was nervous but she did a great job.
