Princess Party 2008

Saturday, May 3 was the fourth annual Princess Party at the Coffey house. The Princess Party is a time honored tradition in our family. It is in honor of our two princesses and is the one night each year when I encourage them to enjoy all of the fun (and messy) stuff that I pretend doesn't exist the other 364 days of the year. In addition to messy fun (which was glitter pens this year), it is a junk food extravaganza. The appetizers are pez and ring pops, followed by a main course of frito pie and cheetos with root beer, followed by snack cakes for dessert. My stomach hurts just looking at all this junk. There is usually some kind of water games after all of that (it's fun and it cleans them up a little), and we end the night with a princess movie of some sort. I always document each Princess Party and make a DVD slideshow so the girls and I can watch it from time to time. They really enjoy seeing how much they grow from year to year. So, for your viewing enjoyment, the Princess Party 2008.

Not Another Group Picture

It seems like I am constantly taking group pictures. Football Team, Tennis Team, Golf, 4H, Choir, and on and on...and on. I try to be as creative as possible, but I'm running out of options. Here is a shot I took for the school newspaper last week of next year's cheerleaders. The girl in front is the Captain and had an extended interview in the article. I can't wait until I have to pull another idea out my hat for the next group shot. I am so glad we don't have a chess team.
