6.29.13: Working together

I am always amazed at the girls' (stella, daphne, fiona) ability to work as a team.  For their birthday, the girls got a construction toy where you can build a crazy path for some marbles.  While they started each building their own run, they quickly realized together (and with a little help from daddy) they could build an even bigger, more amazing path for their marbles.  Go Team Robertson!

Brant was having a great time too, even though it doesn't look like it - turns out he was less excited for the picture  :)

6.15.13: Hello Tangled Ponies

This year we had a bowling party to celebrate the girls' fourth birthday. It was a great turn out, some new/old preschool families and even a few astronomer families.  We went to the party store and the girls each picked out their own plates, napkins, cups and one decoration; Fiona picked My Little Ponies, Daphne picked Hello Kitty, and Stella picked Tangled/Rapunzel.  We got them each a coordinating balloon and made sure each of the birthday girls were well represented.
 
Fiona, Stella and Daphne had never been bowling before, so they were very excited when they learned they'd also get to wear special shoes while bowling!

Having three lanes with ramps and bumpers was key to the successful party.  The kids could all carry a ball themselves to the ramp and bowl on their own.  In fact, each birthday girl got at least one spare.  All the kids took turns really well and everyone seemed happy.  We took a brief intermission about halfway through the party for some pizza and cupcakes (and of course to sing happy birthday three times) and then went back to bowling.

This summarizes the party well, so much stimulation - not even sure where to look = Success!
