School Carnival!

Today was the school carnival! Each class had a booth and the kids had a great time playing all the games.

On Wednesday, another package came for Bailey from
Uncle Denis, Auntie Gloria, Bachan and Grandpa!



Uncle Denis and Auntie Gloria picked out
some very cute clothes for me!



And a design your own outfit kit!



This morning - just watching TV together.



Okay.  Here we are at the carnival! Gregory shooting baskets.



Sailor Gregory




His class had the cotton candy booth



Bailey's class had the Dime Toss



This is our neighbor, Anne - She is in Gregory's class 
and we walk to school together every morning.



Gregory's class made these cute decorations



See Bailey's flag? (Hint: Japan)

Playing Dime Toss



Gregory "won" this "gently used" friend

 

Bailey won a bookmark

The object of this game is to drop a dime into these containers in the water. 
Quite tricky.

Our Little Sweets Turns 8!

Today Bailey turned EIGHT!  Oh my goodness I just don't know where the time went.  I still remember the day she was born like it was yesterday.  Oh so sad for Mommy...

Happy Birthday...Sweet Pea!!!

Bailey had a wonderful day! 
At school, she passed out Gushers to her classmates
and got to give her ghost presentation today too!



For dessert tonight, we made chocolate pudding and cookie parfaits ~ so fancy! 
We enjoyed them after a nice bowl of chicken soup ~ that was her birthday dinner request :)



Don't you love these Daiso containers? 
Even comes with a nice lid!

6:45 - A package arrived at our door from 
Auntie Lynn, Uncle Rick, Ryan and Lauren!

Look at my new fancy shirt.





Fairy books!



After we picked up Daddy from the bus station,
Gregory gave Bailey the gifts he picked out for her.



Take a picture of the two of us, please.



ZINKIES! 
(and a new Sleeping Beauty and Tinkerbell book!)

Happy Birthday to my Sweet and Little Man

Yesterday we celebrated Bailey and Gregory's birthday!  Lots of family, food and fun.  We stayed up past 10pm and had the best time ever!

 

Here we are with Oliver and Emma ~
Camryn and Luke came after their snoozer.

Again, I forgot to take a picture of the food BEFORE we ate.  BOO. 
We had a LOT of yummy food though.

Grandma made this yummy chocolate cake with
homemade marshmallows for the girls.

Red Velvet cake for the rest of us.

My birthday kiddies

Our familia shot.

Too many candles!

Primos!

Fact for the day...Did you know the sun is NOT up at 6am?

Today was Primo's Run for Education!  Daddy ran the 1/2 marathon and Aunty Joey ran the 5K for Golden View!  Whoo hoo!  We left our house at 6:20am to take Daddy to Danville, picked up breakfast at Burger King and drove to Central Park to meet up with him after the race.  While we were parked we saw Aunty Joey (right behind us!) in the parking lot.  We hung out at the park and met up with Daddy and Aunty after the race.  Daddy made it in 1:54 and Aunty ran the 5K in less than 30 minutes!  What a fun morning!



Playing on the see saw



Hard to tell by these pictures,
but they are FLYING!



Gregory lending a helping hand :)

HUGS!

while he takes a snoozer.

Running to see Daddy






We ran into Sunny Gator and Mrs. Huajardo (our principal)

Here comes Daddy!






10am and we are home ~

BOO! and Boo!!

Bailey has a ghost project for school. She has to make a ghost, write a report and give a presentation to introduce her ghost to the class. Today we made the ghost!  (Plus a few extras to decorate our house too!)


We used cheese cloth, styrofoam balls and fabric
stiffener to make our ghosts.



Gregory trying to hide.



Gotta get the stiffener all soaked into the cheese cloth!
VERY MESSY!

Open it up and place it on top of the styrofoam ball.





Add a couple of googly eyes ~
we still need to add some string so we can hang them. 
They turned out cute!  I've got to find our black duct
tape so we can add some features...
Now to write the report and practice the presentation!





 

OK, the SECOND BOO....

This morning Daddy got into an accident and now he is sitting on the freeway waiting for AAA to come scoop him up. He's been driving it all day, but it seems the radiator is leaking so the car overheated in the traffic on his way home. (Luckily he stalled somewhere safe this time!) He's planning to have the thing towed here so we'll see the damage when he gets home. Boo!
