Ella & Charlie

This was a very very busy day. We started off the morning at a birthday party for Nick's friend--Ella. We were greeted by a special message on her front walk that her Grandma made. I thought it was a great idea to identify each of the party-goers!

The kids wished Ella a
Happy 3rd Birthday!



They hunted for alligators.



They ate birthday cupcakes.



And, they enjoyed homemade ice cream!






The afternoon was filled with lots of Garage Sale fun, but . . . WOW! it was really hot today. The only thought that kept me going was the air conditioning we'd get to enjoy later.

After dinner, we took Nicholas up to the high school to see his first play, "Your a Good Man Charlie Brown." We sat about 5 rows back from the orchestra pit.
At first, it was a bit too loud for Nicholas. But, by the time intermission came, he was having a great time. He especially liked the folding seats--silly boy!

At the end, we told Nicholas that Tessa (Violet), his special babysitter, was in the play.


After the play, the cast greeted the audience as they exited through the hallway. Nicholas gave Tessa a rose. She was very excited that he came to the play.
