Ethan was about to take a picture of Amelia in her charming dress up outfit.  As he snapped the photo, she saw a Daddy Long Leg.  There is fear in that face!

Daph has been celebrating for a week.  On her birthday, we went to Water Country USA.  We had a blast.  She asked for pizza and a “beach cake with a sun” for dinner.  I was pretty proud of our cake.

She got some really nice presents, I’ll highlight three.  She got a new backpack for kindergarten:

And a mop.

Yes, a mop.  We were caught without one.  Saturday night, we were eating dinner, talking about what she might want for her birthday.

D: “I don’t know”

Amelia: “Maybe something like Legos?”

D: “I don’t want Legos for my birthday, I want a mop!”

Um, o.k.  She got it a couple days late.  And she loves it.

Today, she got a really cool bubble blower from her friend.

Daphne had a birthday party today at Children’s Museum of Richmond with two of her friends from Purple room as co-hosts.  There are a lot of July/August birthdays and it was really nice to combine a few.

Here she is getting a snuggle from Seymour the dinosaur, mascot of CMoR.

Here are the three birthday kids.  You can watch them while everyone sings “Happy Birthday’ here.

The cake was gorgeous, and each kid got to eat the piece with their own name on a package tag.  Which was the first thing Daphne announced to her Bebe this evening.

The museum’s been redone since we last visited, there’s come cool new stuff.  This is my favorite: it’s not everyday you get to milk a cow.

Or hang out in a bat cave.

It’s all over, she had a really good week.
