Chalk Art

Sky and Parker spent time chalk drawing this morning on the driveway. Most of it was washed away by a rainstorm later in the afternoon. Sky is becoming quite the artist.

4 on the 4th!

Sky had a fantastic birthday weekend! (double click on the album to see the images larger)
On Saturday Sky had a party at a local amusement park, Jungle Rapids. They have a great indoor area for the 8 and under set with ball pits, tunnels, air bounce and slides. She and her friends ran around until they were hot and sweaty. Parker had a wonderful time too. He is too old for this area of the amusement park now unless he "escorts" Sky!
The kids enjoyed a snack of pizza and then cake. Her cake included a photo of Sky and a picture of Cinderella with the caption "Perfect Princess". (No, the captions "Almost Perfect Princess" or "Sometimes Cranky Princess" were not available). Sky was awed when everyone sang to her. After singing along with the beginning of Happy Birthday she relaxed and enjoyed being sung too. It turns out Sky is not a big cake fan. Although it was imperative she have a cake, of the several times we offered cake, she only ate a few bites. The rest of the family and friends found it quite good. Her 4 year old presents include: Polly Pocket doll, a Webkinz toy, a baby doll, clothes, Groovy Girls dolls and bed, a Snow White doll etc... Most important, a gift card at Target so she can go select something she didn't get, but really wants. (item still to be determined)
On Sunday, Nana and Grandpa came over to our house for a "family party". As you can see from the photos, Sky deemed full princess regalia appropriate for this occasion. She decided to keep this on along with headphones and sunglasses to help Clif mow the lawn later in the day. The princess on the lawn mower.
