Come Dance and Twirl...






with the Birthday Girl!
Due to Easter being the same day as BigM's 5th birthday this year, we decided to have her birthday party today. It was pretty much the most awesome party ever. I'll let the pictures tell you how it went, but here's the Cliff's Notes. Ms. Lucy (her ballet teacher from last year and a very good personal friend of mine) came to teach the girls some ballet. Yes, I am insane and I made all of the tu-tus. No, I will not make one for your daughter.She wanted Strawberry Shortcake for her birthday cake.

All the girls sitting on the swing (minus LM, she didn't want to participate. No one should be surprised by this.)
Warming up...


"Free dance!"









Learning the dance from Ms. Lucy- so cute! I took over 100 pictures of this, but lucky for you, I picked the best ones (and the ones that didn't have Ms Lucy in them, she asked not to be featured in the photography.)


Happy 5th Birthday, BigM!

Egg Hunt: Little Mouse Style

Apparently LM isn't really a fan of Easter Egg Hunts.Apparently she is a fan of cupcakes.



Obviously, her first school Easter Egg Hunt didn't go so well, she didn't want to pick up any eggs and the only reason she had these is thanks to Ms. Heather and Ms. Emi, who felt bad for her and didn't want her to have an empty basket.


Maybe she'll have better luck on Saturday at our neighborhood hunt.

BigM: Hey Mom, want to watch me to this? Um, okay... I think. BigM: We do this in ballet. Oh, okay! Show me. (watches BigM perform a ballet move) LM: Hey Mom, want to watch me do somfing? Sure! LM: Okay, I'm gonna lick my foot.

City Mouse, Country Mouse

We took the girls to DC this weekend to visit SIL for the Cherry Blossom Festival. We all had a blast- especially LM, who experienced her first airplane ride! SIL has the pictures because I didn't take my camera (it was all I could do to get the kids and myself out of the house on time) so as soon as she sends me some (hint, hint) I will post them and tell you all about our trip.
