Newest Accessory
Well we knew this was coming, but really thought we had a couple more years. Anyway, she was a bit nervous, but is pretty excited about her selections.
Sophie's DramaKids Debut
Sophie was Terrible Tom in the play Pirate Joe:
This is the only picture I took during the production. The pirates are hard at work...and shortly Sophie will start a mutiny to get rid of Captain Joe. The pirates then select her to be the new captain.....but that is short lived also!
Here's a pic of Sophie with the rest of the pirates and their teacher, Ms. Flavia:

National Children's Book Week
This week is National Children's Book Week and at Sophie and Jason's school the teachers and students were encouraged to "Show Some Character" today and dress as their favorite storybook character. Here are my "characters" this morning......
Jason, aka Darth Vader, reads almost exclusively superhero, Star Wars, or Transformer books. At least he is reading though?
Sophie, aka Emma the Easter Fairy, had a hard time choosing who to dress up as. She has read a majority of the Fairy books by Daisy Meadows (around 85 of the ~110 that have been release in US) and really liked many of the fairies. Also in contention was Annabelle from The Doll People. This book was one of three books in a series which Aunt Crystal got Sophie for her birthday this year. Mommy sort of vetoed this one when I realized the plan was to spray paint her hair bright green like Annabelle's!!

Girlscout - Dad and Me Dance
Last Friday, I got to take Sophie to a girlscout "Dad and Me" dance with a Mystery theme.
We dressed up in some clothes with black on them figuring that would match the mystery theme.
All the girls got masks of different colors and as it happened, Sophie's matched perfectly. She's a cutie!
The magician was pretty good and quite funny. Typical line, "Hey, I was 8 when I was your age too!" But the best part was dancing with Sophie and watching her dance with Natalie. After seeing them dance the Cha Cha Slide, I can see I need to work on my moves.
