All cheesed out

Cindy and I realized that Sunday's supper was very heavy on the cheese. It was in the lasagna, on the garlic bread and in the salad! No wonder we were all so full on small portions. The kids had their special table to sit at and they all did a great job of wolfing down their food. Guess you gotta replenish when you play hard!


Julie agreed to make the cake for AK's birthday dinner... and she did an amazing job. It was a three-layer cake (vanilla, chocolate and strawberry layers), iced with pink icing and covered with sprinkles! It was SO good and I'm so happy I entrusted her with that task!



AK got really spoiled last night again... her big gift from the Babbs and the Huys is a bike :) she is loving it so far. We went outside with it this morning and she actually took a tumble, thankfully on to the grass. We will work on sharpening up AK's technique when she grows another fraction of an inch and her feet are solidly on the pedals! That reminds me, I have to take the bike to the gas station to put some air in the tires... I knew there was something I forgot to do today.

I was very grateful for the Queen's Birthday holiday today. No way would I have wanted to go to work today. AK and I took it easy this morning, and then Sue and Kylie came over for a visit. The girls exchanged birthday gifts, the we played outside for a while. We also played with puzzles and other games.


AK had a visit with her daddy tonight and I headed over to Margaritaville to hang out with some friends and have a drink:


And watched the kids go down the slide:


AK and I played a couple of games once she got home and she went off to bed nicely. I'm ready for the week to come... it will be a busy one with lots of visits, I think. But that's okay - lots of fun for both of us!

AK's new favorite game is for me to sit on her. I have to make a big production about how tired I am and how I just want to sit down to relax. Then I sit on her and complain about how lumpy and bumpy and giggly the couch is! She thinks it's hilarious...

We also opened up a Dora Bingo game from the Forsyths. I was thinking AK may be too young for it but she picked up the concept quite well and was really listening to and understanding the rules. She is also getting much better at some of the games on her princess laptop. One game in particular is matching an uppercase letter with the lowercase letter. She's really come a long way with that game - it's not just dumb luck now when she matches them up!
