I did my traditional "join Mia for lunch on her birthday" thing I've done since Kindergarten. She was pretty stoked as well as her friends. They obnoxiously fought to sit next to us. Why? WHY?? It was pretty funny but eventually everyone sit and we ate. The girls liked Mia's red velvet cake sketch and they discussed what they planned for recess. It always comes down to "we'll do whatever Mia and her Dad do" . Okay..
The kids played a bit, talked and eventually did some chalk drawing. I joined them drawing which strangely getting a lot of attention from other kids. The girls drew little "Happy Birthday Mia" messages on the blacktop. All in all, really fun time that I always love doing for her on her birthday.
Later, we met up with both sets of grandparents and went to StoneFire Pizza. Not the best day for a birthday dinner there. It was PACKED and very difficult to move about the place. Mia had fun and picked out some oh-so-90s gel pens that she totally has been enjoying. Thursday I was off as well, but nothing major to report. We did some cleaning in preparation for the epic party. Mia and Jill made some amazing cakes for her party.
Saturday came, and in the morning, we did some last minute cleaning and getting everything ready for Mia's 9 crazy friends to arrive. I picked up the pizza and wasn't long after I returned home, they started arriving. Kaitlyn, Tenley, Charlie, Cecilia, Vida, Scarlett, Ryan, Hayden and Noelle all joined in celebrating Mia's birthday with a unique Red Panda themed birthday party. My incredibly helpful in laws helped a ton with the event. My Mother in law did a bow-making station with a group of girls, my Father in law kept Remi out of trouble, Jill did a a Red Panda quiz/gummy necklace station and myself had girls throwing "rice balls" into a cardboard red panda box with holes as well as a guessing game. The kids had a great time. They later had some cake, popcorn, Mia opened gifts and ended the day with a custom piñata made by Mia Mother in law. All in all, great time and Mia loves all her amazing gifts. She truly has some really great friends and had the best time with all of them.
We watched Big Hero 6 and had some left over pizza to close out the evening. Today I got up early to watch Chelsea take on Cardiff. Once again, ugly match but somehow, Chelsea pulled off a 2-1 win. Cardiff honestly got robbed of at least a draw but in the end, we needed the points. The season is pretty close to over and if we even think the Blues will finish top 4. Liverpool unfortunately got a win today and are currently in 1st. Ugh. Chelsea are back in action Wed but I'm stuck working.
Later I went to work. When I came home, I discovered a series of little pranks for April Fools Day from my dear Mia. She definitely has the Justman prank bone in her. there was an angry face on the milk carton with a note exclaiming 'I think the milk went bad" as well as "something is wrong with the eggs" with faces drawn on them. When I went upstairs to change, there was a cut out spider on my pillow and on our mac, was a silly face drawn in Photoshop. Good grief kid. This week is Mia's teacher's last week at OL for the year. She's going on Maternity leave so I'll be continuing my tradition of a one-day drawing with her class on Tuesday. I've drawn with her class every year for the last 3 years so it's totally going to be fun this year since Mia's in her class. Totally excited. Saturday is Mia's family birthday party so it should be pretty fun.
