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…

4.5 Inches

That is the amount of snow that we received on May 7. Rather than being completely freaked out, the kids, Mike and Daphne decided to enjoy it. I was personally a bit freaked out, but kept myself amused by seeing how much fun they were all having.

By lunchtime this is what our backyard looked like. I didn’t have much luck playing fetch with Daphne. She had difficulty finding the ball and when she did actually locate it, she rolled it around so much that it turned into a snowball.

After we all got home from work and school, Mike pulled out the sleds from the top shelf in the garage while I dug out winter boots, hats and mittens. Mike and the kids piled up snow for a jump in the backyard, then pretended it was February instead of May.

The plants, bushes and trees took a bit of a beating.

After getting my fill of snow, I headed inside while the kids and Mike stayed out to play some more. Sophia found it amusing to throw snowballs at me while I was looking out the window.
