Rebecca and Emily - part 6 - THE BIRTHDAY!

The (L)ice Watch of 2009 coincided with the girls birthday.
With the schools closed for bad weather, everyone was home all day, even Daddy.
So we had lots of time to finish our cakes, watch the weather and comb lice eggs out of mommy's hair (but that may get it's own blog post).

We had great plans of sharing cupcakes and juice boxes at Sunday school and with their Kindergarten class. Neither of which happened...so 4 dozen cupcakes, 2 double layer heart cakes and a little double layer star cake later...we partied (ate) on.

You can never have too many sprinkles!
Rebecca on the left, Emily on the right - minus one front tooth and a bottom tooth that is slow to grow back in.

I actually payed money for broken doll parts !

Instead of taking the very small plastic clothes on and off of the very small Polly Pockets - someone came up with the idea to attach the clothes to the bodies, but -pop- the head or waist off and -pop- on a different one. Seems to work for me and much better than the previous magnet swallowing that was going on.




Some of us got Strawberry Shortcake posters to color, and some of us 2 yr olds didn't.
It's hard to understand why they were getting presents and she wasn't :-(

The girls also got jump ropes, play phones, night gowns, new outfit and
High School Musical tennis shoes.

The Sheik and his entourage braved the ice, with presents in hand, to share all the cake and cupcakes and ice cream that we were ill-prepared to consume alone.

Here are our finished projects.

After a second ice day at home, we still have leftover cake AND another dozen cupcakes in the frig?

Which would you prefer?

I think we've started a new tradition...baking your own birthday cake.
