Malia is enjoying her house. She has pulled her little table inside and does her homework in there. And she loves to turn on her desk lamp, turn off the big light and read in her beanbag chair. It makes the time spent making it time well spent.

Let’s Get This Party Started!
Malia has been celebrating her birthday for over a week and honestly, she has been loving it. The party started ten days ago when I took her to get her first pedicure. I had my annual patriotic pedicure with my sisters in June and she has had a hankering to have one of her very own ever since then. She absolutely loved the foot soak and massage chair part and chose nail polish is two very glittery colors. My choices were a bit more sedate, but she was thrilled with her selection and that’s all that matters!
On her actual b-day, we had a little celebration here at home. She was (not unexpectedly) overly eager for her presents. We made her wait until after dinner and it almost killed her. She managed to pull through, however, and received Hot Wheels from Matthew, colored pencils and crayons from Daniel and Nathan, and a nice sketch pad, colored pencils and a great dot to dot book from Kevin’s folks. When she opened her first package from Kevin and I, she was mightily confused. I can understand why. It was command hooks and drapery rings.
She was not any less confused when she opened up the rest of the present.
It wasn’t until we took it into her room and got it all hung up that she realized that she had become the proud owner of her very own under-the-loft-bed playhouse. And then she was excited!
Her friend party was on Saturday. She wanted white tiger cupcakes and cake so we went with a zoo themed party. We played pin the tail on the tiger, made toilet paper roll binoculars and did a zoo themed scavenger hunt. Malia helped make the cupcakes and they turned out super cute. We had a really great time.
On Sunday we celebrated with my family. I am totally proud of how her cake turned out! Not only did it look super cute, but it was tiger striped on the inside as well as the outside. Malia wanted raspberry filling with a vanilla cake and while it was super tasty, once it was cut it looked like the tiger was bleeding. That was definitely an unplanned visual!
The official end of Malia’s celebration was today’s Birthday Table celebration at the school. The PTA had extra tables and decorations like always and (of course) Malia asked me to pick up lunch from Carl’s Jr. Acie, her best school friend since Renee moved, had a birthday this month as well so they got to enjoy their lunch together.
Malia is such a fun, crazy, creative kid. She is not afraid to jump right in with all the boys and has definitely taught them a few new things (Barbie, My Little Pony, princesses, etc.). We are so glad to have her in our family!

Quantifiably Funny
Malia loves the water. She loves to take a bath and will stand in the shower all day if we let her. This evening I told her to get out of the water (something that happens every single time she is in there) and she responded with, “Ok. I have about ten more bubbles.”
