A day of birthday fun for everyone...

Well we had 2 back to back birthday parties today, they do seem to happen in clumps I must say...

Our first party was bright and early this morning at Pump It Up for our good friend Channing Walter.  Sophia and Henry had great fun jumping around in the bouncy castles as well as sliding down the slides.  I wish I had a picture but I do not...

After the first party, Dad and Henry went home so Henry could nap.  Sophia and I went on to a bowling party.  I wasn't sure at ALL how this would go over since we have never bowled.  I shouldn't have been surprised though, Sophia tries hard and tries new things without much complaint. 

I must say that the girl LOVED it and dove right in!  It was so much fun for me to watch.  Not only did Sophia have fun but she was GREAT!  Now mind you, the kids just rolled the balls down a ramp onto the lane and they roll at almost a snails pace BUT given the circumstances, many balls were just skimming the rails.  (yes, they put up rails so none of the balls would actually go in the gutter)  Sophia's balls went right down the middle of the lane and she even had 2 strikes!!  I loved it and I loved seeing a little gleam of competitiveness.  

Hmmm, she looks cute but I am not sure how I feel about this picture at ALL

I didn't catch the strike on video (darn!) but here is the clip...

It was a long day today...When I was growing up, Heidi used to say, "Home again, home again jiggidy jig!" (and then slap me on the leg which i can assure you NEVER felt good but Heidi found amusing :) )

I have tried to keep the tradition alive, minus the slapping of the leg of course, but Henry has a new version that I find adorable...

"Home again home again Bajiggy BaJig!"
