Six Years, Five Days

Now that Sophia is six years and five days old, I’m finally getting around to posting the rest of her birthday photos. It’s been a busy week!

Despite foggy, wet weather, Sophia had a great birthday. I took off from work a bit early to help with a mini-party for Sophia at daycare. She requested “flag” cookies for her treat in honor of flag day. She thinks its cool to share her birthday with a holiday. Luckily, 4th of July cookies with red, white and blue sprinkles had already hit the stores. After the treat, the kids worked on a photo frame art activity. We took a group photo of the kids to put in the frame.

We headed home after the fun at daycare. Sophia was very anxious to open her presents from us. One of the biggest hits of the day was a mylar balloon monkey Mike had picked up on his way home from work.

Next she opened a gift form her Aunt, Uncle & Cousins – Polly Pocket Van with cool accessories – huge hit! She also opened a Zhu Zhu pet spiral slide, a book and a dress from us. Her big gift was a much-needed new bike. Since it was too big to wrap, Mike made her close her eyes while he got it from his hiding spot in the basement.

I think she likes it…

No More Pencils, No More Books

The kids are officially on summer vacation. They finished their last day of school on Thursday. Sebastian will be moving on to 4th grade and Sophia 1st grade in the fall. Sebastian had a year filled with lots of math and learning to write in cursive. He excelled at both. He has better handwriting than Mike and me! He was also give the “Peacemaker Award” by his teacher. Only one student in the classroom was given an award and Sebastian was chosen. The honor goes to the student who best resolves conflict and teaches his peers by example. Sophia also had a great year by making new friends, learning to count to 100 and reading! She loves to read Dr. Seuss, Little Critter books, or just about anything on her bookshelf. I snapped a couple of pictures in the morning before they headed off to their last day of school. But first, here’s a picture of Mike and Sophia at her Teddy Bear picnic.
