A Girl Who Knows What She Wants

When The Fam started asking what MC wanted for her birthday, I was not surprised when her requests were very specific ~ she has always known EXACTLY what she wants:


*Red lipstick (not pink and not lip gloss)


*Fake Nails (not the stick on, but the glue on)


*A hamster ("not the gerbil, but the little gray one that loved me when I held him")


*Roller Skating at Coffeeville, not Tulsa,
and I am not inviting any friends. (?) 
never did get a good reason on this, but  
it's her big day, so we went with it.




She did wind up with these purple Heeleys from B, B & lil' b, and they were a big hit.  So much so, that she is begging for me to take her to the mall where "it's no problem, they let you skate in there," she assures me.






As the ice-cream cake sugar-high kicked in, the Trampoline Show- Down followed.   Uncled Ben had some interesting Herky's and, believe it or not, this High School Musical inspired picture took just one take - it was magical. 


The Hawthorne Trophy for Best Move          
(which is always defined by): 
    
1. The most dangerous
           and/or
2. Any act requiring a follow-up talk to
    the youngins where you explain that
    the previously witnessed act may
    only be tried once they have proof of 
    insurance (which they have secured on
    their own) 


went to...


{drumroll}


Aunt Kari, who pulled out her back flip....
twice. 






Happy 6th Birthday Mollie-Claire!
Hope you are back-flippin, roller-skating, and Heelyin' through the mall until you are 106!

  2. Bucky and I were busted for playing Tag (I guess this is a no-no on the rink) and then she was busted again for skating with Bode (apparently also frowned upon). The referees (skater boys in referee shirts who were there to keep noncompliant children ~ or Hawthornes ~ under control actually said, "No skating with a baby, but I will let you in on a secret: Girls-Only skate is coming up next." (?) Still not sure why he thought that was a secret or why he disclosed it 20 seconds ahead of time.
