American Girl Place
Cara had an American Girl Craft and Shopping Party!
We had so much fun.
Girls lining up for the Silly Bandz at our American Girl Store. Instead of a goodie bag, we gave them play money and let them shop for the party favors they wanted.
Cara and Emerson decorated the store earlier that day.
Shawn was the cashier. Ryan was the bagger. We had red bags with American Girl Stickers on them. I wish I snapped a picture of those, they turned out so cute.
All the girls lining up to enter the American Girl Store. The girls made those adorable head bands and matching ones for their dolls. They also dipped cake balls in Pink and White Chocolate, decorated bookmarks and cups. Then they had dinner with "mini" food and regular size: Chicken nuggets, oreos, pretzels, water melon, and M&Ms. Yep, that was dinner:)
Lazer Kraze!
Baseball Cake
I thought I got off easy with a baseball cake request. Then when Ryan saw the final product he ran to the garage, retreived his baseball and promptly showed me the missing MLB logo.
We did our best to add it.
Motherhood Retreat- May
My dear friend Kim and I planned a Motherhood Retreat and pulled it off in May. It was wonderful! I say "we" pulled it off, very loosely. For some reason I was so scatter brained that whole week. I made lists, tried to get everything together, and still forgot almost everything I was responsible for which left me scrambling. Kim held up her end and more of the coordinating. The hardest to recover from, was leaving my talk on the desk at home. It wasn't grand, but was to be the kick off for the weekend. I just winged it and the most I can say is, I made everyone else comfortable that they didn't have to compete with me:)
You all know I'm no perfectionist, but I try to live up to my nick name, "Dependable Jen."
No such luck that weekend. However, the ladies who came were so inspiring and each so unique that I left feeling filled, loved and excited to try again next year. Also, with 9 new and closer friends!

On to June
According to my blog, May was too busy to blog. I could go back and recap, but I've decided to move on.
We had a wonderful month of May. We're all alive, healthy, excited for June birthdays and last day of school, last soccer game. . . and that is just this week.
My to do list for the last two days of school does not include blogging, but I promise to get pictures up soon, Grandmas. I am very excited to be home with the kids an want to be prepared from day 1!
Here is a run down of our summer goals we made tonight:(just as they're written)

Listen to Mom like Simon Says*
*We played Simon Says for Family Night tonight. I was beginning to wonder if they were waiting for me to say those magic words in order for them to listen to me. We all agreed listening to mom is much more important than listening to Simon:)
We are proud of the kids for making these goals. The only forced one was Simon Says. The rest they came up with on their own. Good luck guys! We can do it!
