Cinderella Ball

The UT Club hosted a Cinderella Ball for Daddys and Daughters!  Little Miss A and her sweet friend T went together with the Daddys.  I helped my sweet girl get dolled up for the occasion.  Make up and an up do and she was ready to go.  :)

 The "belles of the ball!

 The mommas and Mr. D crashed the party goers and created our own after party...gaming!

The princesses...

Glamour Party

Little Miss A went to her sweet friend Ks birthday party this weekend...a glamour party. The girls walked in and immediately jumped into gorgeous gowns and glass slippers, then hit the nail salon. With polish still wet, they hopped into the stylist chair for a princess do with a touch of make up too! Afterward it was back to the princess room for the royal ball. :) Little Miss A had SOOOOOOOO much fun!

Christmas Parties

Can I just say how nice it is that the Kinder Room Moms coordinate the classroom parties to be identical from room to room? Though the kids are in different classes, their games, crafts, snacks and treats were truly identical. :) Although, going back and forth between the two rooms was a little bit of a challenge. It was so nice to get to share in their holiday celebration.

Austin's Park

We had a birthday party to go to at Austin's Park...a place we've been talking about taking the kids for a while now and just haven't quite pulled it together. It was so fun to see the kids run around like they owned the place. Little Miss A with the girls, Mr. D hanging up with the boys...both running in opposite directions, but what's new.

The tea cups were a hit for both. Little Miss A was super excited about the bumper boatsMr. D was too until the saw the people on the boats getting completely soaked with squirt guns. Then he realized there were super soakers on the side of the boat pond and decided that was his post. He'd sit this one out and take shots from the sidelines instead, stating that he didn't want to get wet. Clearly, he has no qualms about getting everyone else wet instead. :)

After running around outside, it was time to head indoors. Little Miss A and Mr. D are still obsessed with the rock wall. I almost think we should install one in the backyard. If I were confident in my skills at tethering and carbine-clipping, I just might. I know for a fact it would get daily use from these two!

We definitely need to go back again...day passes for all of us so we can put-put golf, laser tag and ride the cars on the track together.

May The Force Be With You

So, our friend Ms. J (party planner extraordinaire) arranged a Star Wars themed party for our friend J. Let me just say that we are HUGE Star Wars fans over here!!! My kids have seen the PG episodes and absolutely love them. Totally know the whole story line and as you already know D is OBSESSED with light sabers! (I think the fact that Luke and Leia are boy/girl twins helps since the kids play them in dress up A LOT!!!) So for days leading up to the party, A & D were asking if it was Star Wars day.

The big day finally arrived and, as tradition, it was this totally off the hook event!!!! Not a single detail was over looked. The kids began their jedi training in full wardrobe and created a Yoda doll to begin training. Yoda guided them (while riding on their backs) through a physical training obstacle course. After physical training, it was on to using the force by placing the millennium falcan somewhere in the galactic empire. With a bit of light saber training in their back pockets, they headed outside to take on the bad guys. Mr. D was absolutely wailing on Mr. J...sorry about that, but whatcha gonna do...he knows Darth Vader is the bad guy. What a fun day!!!

Mr. D was SO in love with his costume that he refused to take it off when we went to dinner. So here the picture, Olive Garden 7:30ish and there are PLENTY of high school kids dressed up in their hottest digs for prom and Jedi Drew emerges from the vehicle in full regalia...Anekin braid included. (I made him leave the light saber in the car...no weaponry allowed.) Let me just say the kid was a hit. All the high school boys talking and pointing, commenting to him how much they loved his outfit. The boy was on cloud nine. :)
