Balloons and birthday cakes.
It is June, and that means Birthday Season at our house. It is like Christmas or Halloween, a big deal! Savannah's birthday is 6/15 and Wren's is 6/13, Father's Day and Flag Day are always right in the same time of the month, so there is plenty to celebrate. It is a season all it's own. Savannah's cake was as she requested: lots of flowers and a princess or two. Her classroom party was a little less chaotic, the cake must have been good, because they demolished it.

I ordered a special Elmo cake for Wren, took it to her classroom on her birthday. She was so cute and happy, she jumped around a lot while they sang Happy Birthday, then we let the kids tear into the cake. All that bright red frosting, it was a huge mess!

Summer!
Today was just so fun. We went to a Half-Pints class at Whole Foods, the instructor (Celia Cantor) was excellent!
The theme was Zoo animals and the craft project was making masks. Savannah did hers mostly by herself (a tiger) and Wren directed and pariticipated with hers (imaginary animal with feathers and an elephant like nose)

Then they sang songs, read books, and enjoyed a snack. All in one hour. so thanks to whole foods for a fun start to the day. Home for lunch, naps and chaos. After naps they were in the front yard eating popsicles and playing in the wading pool. Dancing, pushing, hugging, fighting. I think they need a bigger pool....
