Girls in Hood

Thanks Kerry for hosting a fun night out in the 'hood!

Grand Opening

When your family BFFs (the Morels) are entrepreneurs and you all are adorable and creative, you create your own "little gym" in the basement storage area and then invite the press to your Official Grand Opening, complete with ribbon cutting and all. (Whoops Joy, I forgot to invite the mayor!)

Rockin' 5 Year Olds

We celebrated Leif's 5th birthday today @ Bach to Rock.  So fun, especially b/c (except for Leif's older sister Taylor) Sylvie was the only girl rocker.  Awesome! Thanks Leif!  Your party rocked!

Some School Spirit

It's Lutheran Schools Week @ Open Arms, but Sylvie took off a few days this week b/c LCPS was closed...and of course, if "Brady's not going to school, then why do I have to go??"  So Sister took a few snow days too.  I only have these two picts from the week- Mismatch Day and PJ Day-

Valentines for Vets

We gathered with neighborhood girlfriends at Ms. Angela's house today to make valentines for Veterans.

Monster Jam

So it's not a demo derby, but same general idea. Awesome fun @ Verizon Center Monster Jam!

Snow Fun

Sylvie: "Mommy, remember when you made that snow fort with us?"
Me: "uh, when we did that yesterday?"
Sylvie: "Yeah, that one."
Me: "Yes, Sylvie; I remember....like it was YESTERDAY!"

Sylvie's 5th Birthday Pawty!

This was her evite pict-

She loves the Nick Jr. show, Paw Patrol and although she also loves her Disney princesses, we opted for a Paw Patrol birthday party b/c many of her pals are boys.

 The pups had some training to go through and earn their Paw Patrol badges.

1st station- crawl through the Chase Tunnel

 2nd station- Rocky Recycling Sort

 3rd station- Rubble on the Double they had to push all the "boulders" back in the designated area

 4th station- Zuma's Hovercraft Races with ping pong balls

 Coloring station for placements (coloring is one of Sylvie's Favorite things to do)

 5th station- Making Skye (and a bunch of other objects) fly with the parachute

"This pup's gotta fly!" 

 Good puppies all sitting for doggie treat (Scooby snacks)!

 Pups eating their chow (Kix and Cocoa Puffs).  No paws allowed- ha!

 She's FIVE!

Happy Birthday Princess!

1986

We went rollerskating this evening...what a blast from the past!

It's like 1986 up in here! Totally Rad!! 

Celebrating Sylvie

The newly minted 5 year old started her day off with a sweet breakfast (birthday pancakes with sprinkles).  She stayed home from school and spent the day playing with Mimi.  Then she opened presents, popped her $1 balloons, and ate cake (of course!).
