Costume

Last weekend was the big show at Vanity Theater.  Camden looked adorable in her costume...even at the dress rehearsal.

As a boy orphan for "Food Glorious Food" from Oliver.  We provided our own costume for this one.  I probably spent about $5 on all the items except the hat.  We were going to use one of Kevin's hats, but it was really too big and she played with it throughout the routine.  I stopped at Once Upon a Child on the day of rehearsal and found this adorable girls hat.  She might even wear it again!

The Siamese Child costume was provided by the theater.

Car Shopping

A few Saturdays ago we headed to Lafayette to look at some vehicles.  I like my car and could keep driving it for several more years, but it just is a tad too small.  Camden doesn't have much leg room and she is only gonna get taller.  So we shopped.  Camden enjoyed Auto Express because it had a cute toy, free soda, and a Skittles/Reese's Pieces machine.

 

 

We didn't buy a car there, but did at another stop down the road...

Date Night

This time it was Momma and Camden.  Kevin was out with Uncle Ric at the Boat, Sport, and Travel Show, so we hit the town for some girl time. 

Her request had been some sushi, so we stopped at Yamato and shared a sweet potato roll and a veggie roll.  Oh...and some french fries.

Rehearsal

We have one more rehearsal before an official dress rehearsal and three showings of the musical review that Camden is in with the Vanity Theater.  Her group is singing two songs among the many that are being done. 

Yes, she is apparently growing out of all her pants and prefers these unbuttoned.  Time to go shopping this weekend!

StarLily and Rhianah

My cell phone rang on Sunday afternoon.  It was Camden's friend Rhianah's mom.  She was working at home and Anah was bored.  Could she come over for a bit and hang out with Camden?  Camden was beyond thrilled!

The girls played outside for about a half hour then came inside to play.  Anah spotted the unicorn and they played with it until it was time to leave for Camden's rehearsal (Anah came with us).

There is an app that interacts with the toy and plays music and games that StarLily responds to.

February Birthdays

The party for the February (and a January) birthday was last weekend.  Such a fun time with Kevin's family to celebrate Grandpa French, Aunt Tammy, and Amanda.

I made another coconut cake.  Grandpa and Tammy both loved it and suggested it as their request.  GaGa made her cinnamon rolls since it's usually Amanda's request (and we all love them!).

Getting all the birthday kids and the actual kids to all look at the camera at the same time proved to be a challenge.

Preslee asked for a mini photo session and sat on the couch while I snapped away.  A few of the good ones.

Hali saw us and wanted a turn.  Got some really good smiles out of her...and a couple of giggles.

Dinosaur Dig

President's Day was a day off for both Camden and Kevin.  They did a few fun projects together using the Glow Fossil Science kit Camden got for Christmas.

First up was making plaster molds of fossils.

Next was excavating a rock for buried fossils.  She had to use special tools to break through the material without hurting the hidden treasure.

Success!  But there was more.

 

Next she painted the T-Rex head with Glo paint. 

It does really glow in the dark!

Time to check the fossil molds.  She painted them the next day.
