Birthday fun!
Heidi ended up having a cheer camp on Lucy's bday - which worked out well. Lucy got to run around with the babysitters and have an all about me day - while Heidi had fun at camp.
Lucy woke up and loved the balloons and decorations. She then goes - oh -is my cake going to be Mickey too? She originally asked for a blue cake...so I scrambled and figured out how to create a Mickey cake... haha
In tradition - went to Fiesta Jalapeno and loved dinner. The wait staff was awesome as always! Gave her a huge strawberry margarita and tons of whip cream!
Presents!!
Yes - this is a giant Belle tower/house... She loves it! Only took about 2 hours to put together! ha!
Heidi earned her room painted. She has a list of "Heidi's Prizes" that based on a variety of things - she earns things for her room. Like, if she does certain gymnastics skills - she gets curtains or if she gets all As for the first quarter - she gets a desk etc etc. We are trying to teach her to practice and earn things, which has been difficult for her. She wants instant success! Don't we all :) She earned painting her room by practicing and getting her bridge down kick over. She also wanted to help and we had to have a lesson in painting trim :). The end color is coral and it looks great! Once we put her room back - I will take the final picture!
Saturday night was gorgeous out! We decided to have a fire pit and watch a movie! There was no wind and low smoke on the fire pit - it really was nice!
We have started our outside home improvement! We are staining our trash can fence. We are painting our shudders, some accent points, our garage, pole and front door area... We didn't get nearly done as much as we wanted - so our house will look interesting for awhile - but hopefully soon!
And random - Chris got pulled over and got OFF of a ticket because of his Cornfed license plate. Ha!
Heidi's little cheer camp performance...
AND - super proud moment - she sang TWO songs for her vocal concert! She did fantastic job and we were so proud of her! She now wants to even sing something for her talent show! Our little singer! The videos are too large to load - I will have to figure that out!
