It's All Fun and Games...

Until someone ends up in a "lamp shade."

But don't worry - he can still drive!  ;)

My mom and dad's dog, Gizmo, got a corneal abrasion (eye scratch) and then an ulcer on top of that so he has to wear a "comfort cone."  My mom thought it was looking worse and the vet said they may have to remove his eye if it doesn't get better.  So he went back to the vet this morning and we were worried.  While he was there I overheard Sleeping Beauty pray:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for this day.  Please help Gizmo's eye to get better so he doesn't have to be a pirate.  ARGHHH!

In Jesus' name,
Amen.

I love that little sprite!  The prayer worked because the vet said it was looking better!  Also, please don't mention you saw a picture of  Gizmo in the lamp shade to him.  He's very embarrassed by it.

The girls were looking at their necklaces this afternoon and Cinderella said, "I didn't know Santa shopped at Forever 21."  (If you know how she talks when she's trying to figure things out this will be even more funny to you.  :)  )

Awkwaaaard...

More "Wicked" Partying!

 More "Wicked" birthday party for Cinderella's 7th!  Part 1 is here.

 Here Little Prince (my nephew) was CRACKING UP at Sleeping Beauty hula hooping.  He laughed so hard he fell over!

OK, back to the party...

Time to do the cake and candles.  Here is little sister:

 The birthday girl is ready for cake and ice cream!

I found the star candles at Target.  :)

 The candles had to be re-lit because Sleeping Beauty wanted a wish or two of her own!!  :o/

 So happy!

 Little Prince is on the move (and faster by the day!)

Cinderella with one of her new gifts - a baby swing/high chair/car seat for her Baby Cinderella.

This baby doll wagon was a HIT for this little guy.  He did not seem to care it was pink.  ;)

The birthday girl and her cousin

Sweet cousin kisses

Still a little more to come...

A Very Wicked Birthday Party

For Cinderella.  She turned seven.  We celebrated on the 25th of February.

All she wanted was a Wicked party.
We took them back in January to see the Broadway Musical Wicked.
Remember?

There are no "Wicked" party supplies and it was nowhere near Halloween (witch stuff, etc.) so I had to brainstorm.    Tim and I made witch hats from regular party hats, construction paper and tacky glue.  See as modeled below on Sleeping Beauty:

Magical!  Notice the magic wands hanging down?

"Happy Wicked Birthday" Banner (made by my sis) and a picture of the two witches, Glinda and Elphaba:

I did mainly green, pink and black decorations.  It really did feel "Wicked!"

The cake!  A very talented friend made this for the birthday girl.

Silver star confetti was on the table.

More "Wicked" decor!

A broom to "Defy Gravity!"  This will really help me save on gas money!

One of the big hits of the party:  The Betta fish Mr. Bubbles from Uncle Jason and Emily!  The other big hit was a charm bracelet from Nana and Pa.

Casting a spell on us all.

More to come....
