First Scrapbook Page

 

Natalie made her first scrapbook page on Saturday. She picked the colors and I helped her choose the accessories.

Birthday Party

 

There's nothing Natalie loves more than birthday parties! Today she went to Chloe's Playdough party and had a good time. Her big accomplishment today was hitting the pinata so hard that she actually made a dent in it and caused a package of M&M's fall out. She was concerned, however, that the already filled goody bag that she was supposed to collect the candy in was filled too high and it wouldn't be able to hold much candy. So she smartly emptied the goody bag contents into Mark's pockets in order to leave sufficient space for her candy. She really thought that one through.

Her next favorite event at birthday parties is the cake/cupcakes. She strategically aligns herself close to the cake so she's sure to get her choice of pieces. Today was no exception.

At gift time she makes sure to be in the front row because she loves watching presents being opened. Speaking of gifts, we were out of tissue paper for Chloe's gift so we actually had to wrap the present in paper instead of putting it in a bag. Our choices were baby paper or leopard print, so we had to go wild and pick the leopard print. It was a wild looking gift, but at least it got wrapped.

Splash Day

Natalie's school had splash day today and was so excited about it! She got to wear her swimsuit to school. Some of the activities included getting in the wading pools, drawing with sidewalk chalk, or blowing bubbles. She said she even took a nap today because she was so worn out. That's an amazing feat in itself!

Ballerina Girls

 

Natalie and Kamryn's dance recital costumes arrived today, so they tried them on for size. They fit in perfectly with the song they're dancing to.

Jousting

Mark's company had a party after work hours yesterday for its employees and families. Natalie had a great time in the bouncy house, obstacle course, and riding tricycles. We were surprised that she wanted to try jousting too! The cylinder shaped objects were pretty heavy so it was amazing she and the other girl could even swing them. She had a great time yesterday!
