Princess Party

Yesterday we had a princess party at our house. It was fun to see A with a few of her friends, mostly girls from church and one little girl from school. The party confirmed our fears that we don't have to worry about A being bullied, as she is the "mean girl." Really this means she is a super sensitive, sweet person and just doesn't want people to know. We recently got into "Sophia!" and are adapting to adding a princess to our Elsa world. Sophia seems to be holding her own though, and the idea behind Sophia is pretty good. We had some Elsa stuff and Sophia plates. We also wore Sophia like tiaras since they didn't have any crowns for the Elsa party stuff.  Fun was had by all and the kids entertained themselves quite nicely.  For the cupcakes I made the standard chocolate cake with peanut butter icing. We got some tips from a friend though and did some designs on the cupcakes (A and me before the party) and I hope to get to try and decorate more cupcakes sometime.

In other non-A news, G is going to hit a growth spurt soon. At least that's what we expect with all the eating he's done this weekend. He ate 4 (yes, 4) pieces of pizza -- so half of the medium sized pizza we got for the party, had a cupcake (the whole thing, not just the icing) during the party. Then he ate a good dinner. For breakfast this morning he ate a bowl of oatmeal, a banana muffin, a pancake and had some Kix. He's eaten Kix off an on all day for the past two days, as well as oatmeal. We are going to be in a ton of trouble when he gets bigger. For the picture above, he was super hungry and Chris had instructed him to go sit and eat his pizza. Chris was expecting G to go over to the girls and eat, but G just sat down and started shoving food in his face. 

Summer classes start for Chris tomorrow. We have a rare day off, so we are going to do some mom and kid stuff and possibly end up at the pool. We shall see.
