Play-Doh, Baseball and Birthdays

Emily is turning out to be the arts and crafts kid in this family. No surprise when I think about teaching Social Studies. The best map-colorers were the girls, and the boys usually just wanted to get it done and turned in. I can see this in Anthony - he's that kind of guy already. So, lately we've been having nighttime play-doh and coloring sessions. It's actually been good for Anthony - his coloring skills have improved. So, last weekend, we got the Play-Doh out, and Emily created a beautiful sculpture.

The work of art.

In honor of the Dodger's advancement to the NLCS, we decked Anthony out in his Dodger attire this morning. He's ready to watch the game with Dad this evening.

Last night was our friend, Dylan's 5th birthday. We went to Chuck E Cheese for his party - one of our favorite places. Emily really enjoyed the cake, as you can see!

Yes, it is Incredible Hulk Green icing!

Anthony Turns 5!!!

Today was Anthony's 5th birthday, and we had a very busy day. We took cupcakes to school to share with the class. And then after school we went to Chuck E. Cheese with our friends Dayton and Noah and their mom, Deb. That was a lot of fun! When Dad got home from work, he took Anthony to a baseball game. The Diamondbacks played the Padres. While the boys were at the game, Mom and Emily went to the library. It was a fun-filled day!

Ready for school!

Me, too!

This is my favorite thing to do here.

The whole gang!

Can you tell I ate the one with the blue frosting?

And do you like my new Dora pajamas?

Game night!

Anthony's 5th Birthday Party

Anthony had his 5th birthday party last weekend. For the 2nd year in a row, we had it at Pump It Up. He loves going there. It was so much fun - not sure if the kids or the adults had the better time!
