Daddy daughter date
Ron took Violet to the Nutcracker Ballet. She has been enamored with it (aren't all little girls?) since she saw it last year on a field trip with her kindergarten class. Her teacher was a former ballerina with the Joffery Ballet. This production, while not as opulent (or nearly as expensive) as the Joffery's, was well put together and a tad more intimate.
Violet enjoyed her grown up night thoroughly and fell asleep in the car in the way home. So tuckered out was she, we managed to get her out of her fancy dress and to bed without her waking.
Maybe the start of a tradition?

Violet wanted to be Cleopatra, Jack a jaguar and the triplets, I was still able to steer, and I found these adorable wolf and little red ridding hood costumes at my resale.

Violet is 7!
Violet's big day started with a party in her room! While the kids slept, we filled her room with balloons so she would awake to fun. In reality it just bred confusion, but I got I kick out of it!
Violet is growing up to be such an amazing little girl! I am proud to be her mom and I hope she has a big life!
I made her a "7" shirt, but since she has only worn it on her actual birthday day and never again, maybe she is getting too old for the that tradition? Too bad, I plan on making her one (and having her wear it!) forever!!
We had her party at a neighborhood art studio called One Strange Bird, and I have to say they did a fantastic job. The kids all made a painting on canvas and then created the most deluxe masks I have seen from a birthday party (this is a pretty popular activity).

Get in there V!
Violet starting playing soccer on the lakefront this fall. I find I have to restrain myself from "coaching" from the sidelines, who knew? In case it is not clear, Violet is the one in green.
Everyone's in school!
Violet's first day of 1st grade! Claims she wants to be an artist when she grows up. She loves school and is very excited to get back in the swing of things. She is at Disney Magnet school and her teacher is Mrs Baker.
Jack's first day of kindergarten! He says he wants to be a veterinarian. He is looking forward to his first day "in real school" and is not at all nervous. He is attending Edison and his teacher will be Mrs
