Dance Party

Carys had a successful birthday party. All the kids were involved, had a great time and there were very few meltdowns. Ms. Diane is Carys's dance teacher and she is great with kids. At the end we had a parent dance and I'm please to say the parents actually participated. It was a short party, one hour. No cake, no mess and we were 5 minutes from home. We could not have asked for more.

Happy Fourth Birthday Carys!!

Carys is 4 today, I cannot believe it. Here she is preparing goodie bags for the children who will come to her party. I don't remember goodie bags when I was growing up. We did not have cake this year for her friends because we were having a dance class so we included some cookies and bubbles and a squirt gun for some spring fun.

COLD

This was our snow day mid-February. I was so excited to take Carys sledding but we basically never made it around the corner of the block. The snow was not too heavy but it was super windy. Once I had the girls loaded on the sled, poor Helen was taking lots of snow in her face and she was red within minutes. Carys was sad that we had to return home. She said, "Mommy, maybe I was wrong". "Wrong about what?" I asked. "I was wrong that we could go outside". So sweet.

Silly Chicken

We purged some old items from our closets and this Halloween costume was one in a pile. Carys proceeded to try it on for old time sake (she wore this when she was a year and a half) She added the silly faces for extra appeal.

Carys loves to be silly and I love to be silly with her!
