What a fun weekend! Darla turned 7 on Friday. She always asks me if she can do anything she wants on her birthday and I say yes...so Friday morning she started off the day with an ice cream cone in bed. She had my cell phone and the home phone next to her waiting to take her birthday calls!
Darla had the whole day planned out. She went to Whistle Stop for a little bit, and then her Daddy picked her up and they went to eat pizza at Pizza Inn. She said she wanted to go to Baskin Robbins before AND after Pizza Inn, but I think after she had lunch she changed her mind.
After I got home, we headed to Build a Bear. Darla picked a blue bear with peace signs all over it and named her Prissy. Bo got a Zhu Zhu pet named Num Nums but he calls him Donuts. After Build A Bear we went to see Toy Story 3!! It was opening day and we knew it would be crowded so we got there pretty early. The movie was great and it was Bo's first trip to the movie theater. I don't think any other movie could have kept his attention but he just loves Woody (Dee-Dah as he used to call him) and Buzz. He got pretty restless during the last half hour but other than that he did pretty good.
On Saturday, Darla had her party at Thunderbird Roller Rink. Luckily Nanaw & Papaw got her skates for Christmas and they are nice enough to let her skate around their house, so Darla is getting pretty good on the skates. She had a bunch of friends from her class (NO BOYS!) and lots of family there. She got a new scooter, PJ's, a swimsuit, zhu zhu pets and accessories, a DS game, jewelry, her first pair of spurs & spur straps and an itouch! Bo really likes all the zhuzhu pets too and Darla has been VERY patient letting Bo play with her new stuff.
Today is Father's Day so this morning we gave Brent his presents and I tried to make a blackberry cobbler...it tasted good but it was pretty runny. If you put enough ice cream on it you couldn't tell!! I've got to work on my recipe. We went to swim at Granddad's and Bo has no fear of the water. He doesn't really like to wear his ring anymore, just his floaties. He also loves to go underwater which scares me to death. Today his new trick was jumping in by himself and he would hold out his hand and say "Don't catch me Mommy". He also liked to sit on a float in the pool and tell everyone "watch how I fall" and then fall off. I love that he tries new things and all, but he just doesn't need to grow up so fast!
