Minnie Mouse goes to dance class

On Saturday, Dan and I were invited to go to Emma's dance lesson. The children dressed in their Halloween costumes and performed for parents and grandparents at the end of the lesson.

Emma did well until another Minnie Mouse, her friend Jocelyn, showed up at the lesson. The two of them were more concerned with each other and comparing their costumes than performing.

Big D's Birthday Celebration

Friday was Big D's birthday. We celebrated today with mid-morning bagels delivered by Molly, Bjarne, and Emma and carrot cupcakes with cream cheese icing. Emma was wearing her Minnie Mouse Halloween costume -- she has been wearing it for several days now. She "helped" Big D blow out his candles.

Tonight we are having the B-Day dinner. Dan requested lasagna and salad. I make my own from scratch, including the sauce. Fortunately, I have a short cut today -- as I had some sauce in the freezer.
