Eleven!

We are exactly halfway through birthday season this week with the looooooong awaited celebration of Megan's 11th birthday. Things remained very true to Wright Place traditions...
...balloons...
...breakfast on the Birthday plate...
...gifts...
... Birthday note...

...Birthday note? 
Wait a minute...that's not a normal birthday tradition!
What was that all about?
(We've She's been waiting a lifetime while for Daddy to come around to the idea of pierced ears...)
Wow! Can you believe it? She couldn't quite!
Meg was pretty surprised. Then she opened her next gift to find that...
...Granny wanted in on the action!!

Fast forward a few hours to Daddy's lunch time...
and we were off to accomplish the task...all.6.of.us.

After showing my Driver's License and signing a form 4 or 5 times and initialing it 4 or 5 more times, Meg was able to climb into the chair.

The purple dot marked the spots...
...Daddy was called in to consult on the evenness of the dots...
...and then he offered his hand for support while Kate looked on.
Meg was tough as nails, never even squeezing her Daddy's hand 
as was later reported by her Daddy who...
...decided not to watch "them inflict pain on my child".

All done!!!
Can you just hear that "Pheeewwww."



Happy Birthday Young Lady!
We love you.

To Brighten Your Weekend...

It was a Friday night and we needed a flower for a hat. Well, not exactly a hat. It was a hat card that Meg was making that caused us to be in need of the flower.  Our craft supplies were limited at best, but we did have a few pipe-cleaners.

After a Google search on how to make pipe-cleaner flowers, Meg was rewarded with an excellent instruction video from YouTube and I was rewarded both with the knowledge communicated in the video and a big time chuckle.

 I thought I'd share the fun...(please don't miss the co-star of the video... and... watch all the way 'til the end.)



Looks like the Ring Lady has a  Molly too! What a hoot!

We decided that the possibilities afforded us with our new knowledge far exceeded the pipe-cleaners we had in our possession, so after a quick load-all-four-kids-in-the-van-at-seven-thirty-on-a-Friday-night trip to the craft store, we came home with a few bags full of pipe-cleaners for a dollar per bag.

Meg was a quick study and produced the flower for the hat card...

...and a ring for her finger.
(Meg is in what I like to call her "Orange Phase")

After the children were all tucked in, I may have been drawn in by all the pretty colors of pipe-cleaners strewn about my desk...
See the pretty butterfly? 

Gobs of fun for a dollar I'm tellin' ya!
Happy Weekend!!
