We were invited to a 'princess' themed b-day party, and Henry was given permission to go as a pirate!  The host hired a teenager to come dressed as a princess and she did face/hand painting - so this is Pirate Henry getting a skull and crossbones painted on his chubby little paw! 

 Look what a big girl Stella looks like sitting at the table with all of the other kids.   She did NOT want to wear a princess dress!  Sophie had the princess paint 'Judy Moody' on her face!  It's the name of the series of books that she is currently obsessed with.  She's read them all! 

 Henry drinking from his goblet!

 This is at Great Wolf Lodge.  They do an animated show every evening (sort of like Chuck-E-Cheese characters) - and Dave had Henry on his shoulders and Stella in his arms so that they could see. 

 After the show we took them to the little arcade and they had a great time!

 Sophie earned enough tickets to buy a mood ring from the arcade and she LOVES it! 

 Stella loves to say 'Cheers!' and bump drinks!

 The three kids watching a little Curious George while Dave checks his email. 

 How cute? 

 This is what I was telling you about Ma!  Stella took all the tiny soaps and shampoos from the hotel and made a tiny stash behind the toilet.  Then she would sneak in and smear a handful into her hair when we weren't looking!  Look how happy she is!! 

 After a couple of hours at the pool, Henry got cozy on the chair next to me and started making this face.... it took about 5 minutes before he was out cold! 

 Stella napped on me too! 

 Dave swaddled Henry in warm towels and he napped right at the pool.

 Daddy and Stella at Red Robin for dinner.  See the wristband he has? The resort has your room key programmed on that, so you don't need to carry around your key when you are out and about - it's really nice. 

Look at the concentration!  They had so much fun!
