Chicken Fart

We went to Sophia's friend's birthday party this weekend. It was really fun, the kids decorated gingerbread houses and were generally raucous for hours.



Sophia grew tired of working on the house and decided to eat hers within 10 minutes. What an angel.

Following gingerbread house time the kids all got on adult shoulders. One parent said "I wasn't expecting a chicken fight!" and it was GAME-OVER. The kids (okay, Sophia) started screaming CHICKEN-FART over and over for the next hour. There was a brief interlude where we called out BIRTHDAY CAKE but it didn't really catch on. Chicken Fart is all the rage and is sweeping the nation...Just like Baby Fish Mouth.

Super Fun Birthday Party

Sophia was invited to a birthday party for Emily (cute girl from daycare) and it was a great party. The theme was Spongebob and the entertainment were some fuzzy and not so fuzzy animals.

Wild Things brought a bunny, snake, hedgehog, dove and lizard. The kids loved it. Everyone got a chance to pet the animals or shriek in terror.

Spongebob cake pops. These were homemade by Emily's aunt. Scrumptious!

Quilt Squares and Squeakwels

This is an example of the quilt square for January. Look at how precious it is? You can't tell that it requires 36 2 1/2 inch and 64 1 1/2 squares. I finished cutting the 36 tonight and my back is killing me! Who knew that being a homemaker would hurt so much? On a bright note, part of my Kwilting Krew is going to convene tomorrow for some cutting/crafting/cursing. These are all things in which we excel.

I'd like to give mad props to Tasha and Rachel for finishing their squares. Their dedication to the craft is appreciated.

Sophia and I attended the movie portion of Zane's birthday today (my cousin Karon's super fantastic son). We saw the Squeakwel. It was painful. The only bright part was David Cross as the evil manager. Afterwards we returned to their home to open gifts, have cake and listen to the kids lose their mind on sugar. A great time, all in all.

Dinner at my house is a delight

My dearest Sophia was really enjoying dinner last night. Apparently the way a child shows delight is by popping their feet up onto the dining room table. Maybe she learned it from Steve, hmmm.

The thing that surprises me most about the photo is how giant her feet look! It makes me worry that she will turn out like her amazon mother and have feet that require special order shoes. You should all pray for her now.
