Looking spiffy. They actually fought over who got to wear the bow tie. J finally won, with the promise to S that he could wear it for the Spring Concert at school.
S helping trim radishes. I won't be surprised if he becomes a chef. He loves to help with the cooking.
Teaching my niece, Z, to make mashed potatoes. She was a big help.
All the cousins on the hammock.
J checking out her basket. Everything was fun for her.
And the big guys were less thrilled.
We met Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Brent Ridge, AKA The Beekman Boys.
Waiting in line, we saw a group of prom kids, and I firmly explained to them that they should never, under no circumstances, ever take their prom date to the mall... and to never wear anything but a classic black tux. Ah... these little life lessons.
My boys meeting "the boys".
J turned 9 last week, and we hosted 11 boys for a Nerf Gun Party.
Oreo Cake and the birthday boy.
Favors and personalized water bottles.
Make a Wish!
This is the aftermath.
My niece joined in the party. She will go to the school next year, and she had a chance to meet some of the girls. 
Every young lady took home a fancy fuzzy blanket. 
A very Fancy chandelier. 
Things to make you Fancy; boas and rings and bracelets, oh my! 
Last weekend was the Fancy Nancy party that was my donation to our school auction.
Favor buckets, waiting to go home.
