We got back from the west coast on 10/6 and went straight into birthday week!  Blaine’s 7th birthday was on Tuesday, October 8.  He celebrated at school with ice pops and at home that night with dinner from Walter’s hot dog stand followed by chocolate ice cream cake from Longford’s.

Sarah turned 5 on Thursday, October 10.  She wanted to celebrate by having her hair braided into three braids, instead of the usual two!  She also celebrated at school with mini-cupcakes, and again at home that night with her favorite dinner (bbq chicken, mac and cheese, and salad) followed by a home made chocolate cake with chocolate icing.

On Saturday, 10/13, we had a birthday party for Blaine at the house.  We hosted 12 kids (mostly second grade boys!) at our house for a magic show by Magic Evan, followed by pizza from Nicky’s and cupcakes from the Snackery.

Sarah’s birthday party was the following day, Sunday, 10/13, at Creative Corner in Larchmont.  It was the same venue she picked last year, but this year she chose a melted crayon art project which was very cool (fire breathing dragon/dinosaur).  There was also face painting, pizza, and more cupcakes!

Happy birthdays to Blaine and Sarah!  Can’t believe you two are getting so big!
