Fun with Cousins

Shannon & Emily stayed with us during Spring Break. We all had a fun although exhausting for me, time.

Some painting on rainy cold Monday.

Jungle Java on Tuesday.

Bowling on Wednesday.

Finally, it was nice enough for lunch outdoors.

Movie night on Saturday.

Happy Easter!

Coloring Eggs

Happy Birthday Morgan!

Tonight Zoe helped her school friend Morgan celebrate her birthday at Pump-It-Up.

Riverdance

Tonight, Miss Susan watched Nate while Zoe, Tony & I went downtown to see Riverdance. Zoe enjoyed the show although she still indignant about the fact that I woke her up to see the end.

Bunny Ears

Zoe made these ears at school today.

Happy or Sad?

Zoe was looking at her new Wedding Day Sparkles Bride & Groom this morning & asked me to read the back of the boxes. On the groom box, the poem goes:

"Today he marries

the girl of his dreams

Just look how her dress

sparkles and gleams

He waits, so happy

at the end of the aisle

For his bride to appear

with her glowing smile"

From this, Zoe deduced that the bride's teeth must glow in the dark (which made me think of the Friends episode where Ross over whitens his teeth which would make a pretty scary doll.) Then, looking at the groom, Zoe asked if he was happy or sad. She concluded that he must be sad because his mouth was straight, not smiling. And, she's right, he does look at little sad. You would think that he would have a little bit of a smile since "He waits, so happy". I guess maybe they were really trying to capture the true essence of the groom...

Too Cool

Family Party

We continued the safari theme from the Jungle Java party to Zoe's family party.

Zoe's Birthday Supper

Zoe chose to go to Red Robin for her birthday supper. She had onion rings, grilled cheese & melon for dinner followed by an ice cream sundae. Apparently, Nate isn't a big fan of this restraurant.

Happy Birthday Zoe!

Zoe started her birthday off with presents from Mommy, Daddy & Nate. She received phone calls from her grandmas & poppas. In the afternoon, she celebrated with her friends at Jungle Java followed by dinner at Red Robin.

Hula Hoop

Grandma Bailey sent Zoe $5 for Valentine's Day & after much deliberation, Zoe decided to buy a hula hoop. This is what we found when checked in on Zoe before we went to sleep. She really, really likes her hula hoop.

Happy Birthday Uncle Ben!

Uncle Ben came over for supper, cake & presents to celebrate his birthday.

Happy Hat!

Zoe made this hat at school...

Happy Birthday Shannon!

We helped Shannon celebrate her birthday at Chuckie Cheese this weekend.

Skinny - redefined

Zoe: "Mommy, I am just too skinny."

Me: "You are?"

Zoe: "Yes, look at my legs and arm. (She holds her arm up to my eye.) See?"

Me: "What do you think skinny means?"

Zoe: "I don't know. Having too much skin?"

Too funny...

The lovliest of all...

Tony taught Zoe this song which she memorized after only the second try. Too cute...

Happy St. Patrick's Day

To celebrate St. Patrick's Day, we all made sure to wear our green. Zoe did some St. Patrick Day crafts & puzzles. For supper we had shepherd's pie, Irish soda bread, Lime Sherbert punch & shamrock cookies. To keep with the green theme, Nate had yummy peas.

Yum!
