Happy Birthday Mario Girl

As you may know Mario Girl turned 9 recently. To celebrate she had friends over on Saturday for a party. They made their own individual pizzas, watched G-force, and ate cupcakes that Zoe made(all of which I took no pictures of). On her birthday she got a guinea pig cage & a guinea pig. This animal has been living in her school class as a pet for most of the year & they love each other very much. Her name is Goldie.



I was going to put a short video of Goldie making sounds, but once again blogger has failed me.

In April Mario Girl learned how to make french toast because:
"All my friends know how to make it".
forget that she can make brownies, pancakes, bacon, cookies...
Step 1: crack the eggs

Step 2: whip eggs & dip bread

Step 3: flip bread when brown

Step 4: EAT!!! No picture of this, but it was very good french toast!!

She also made a twirly skirt. I think that the socks make the skirt, but that could just be me. Thanks for the accessories Aunt M.

One-Eyed-Jack did not make a skirt although he given the option.
& he already knows how to make french toast.
Mostly he plays video games & that is not as exciting to take pictures of.
I will have to give him some pirating to do that is exciting.
