February Fun

I can't believe February came and went already. While my postings were limited, our activities were not. We continued to have Princess Kaitlyn's Kitchen and also some other fun events to celebrate Valentine's day and birthday's for several friends.

Here Princess Kaitlyn is making chocolate peanut butter balls dipped in sprinkles as Valentine's for her classmates and some friends. She's also modeling her chef hat and PK apron for everyone to see.

Princess Kaitlyn is rolling the peanut butter filling to make the balls before we dip it in chocolate.
Check out that sly little smile...I wonder if one of those peanut butter balls disappeared into her tummy?
After we dipped the peanut butter balls in chocolate, Princess Kaitlyn covered them with sprinkles.
Princess Kaitlyn places her chocolate peanut butter balls in mini cupcake wrappers so we can package them up for friends and classmates.

The place where Kaitlyn takes dance class had a fundraiser Valentine Daddy-Daughter dance. Kaitlyn and daddy attended together. Before the dance, daddy brought Kaitlyn home a flower for Valentine's day. She loved it!
They had a wonderful time at the dance and finished it off with a cookie sandwich. It was so big that Kaitlyn actually brought some home. Shocker - we ended up throwing the rest away because Kaitlyn didn't want it!
A friend's birthday party. These are classmates of Kaitlyn's and the birthday girl's daddy is a fellow wolverine!!
Kaitlyn and the birthday girl at the table. Prior to eating pizza and cake, the kids played in a bounce house arena to burn off some energy.
Happy Birthday!!!
We had a couple of other birthday parties for friends, but I don't have any pictures from those. Regardless, Kaitlyn had lots of fun at each of them.

On Valentine's day, Kaitlyn had a friend over to decorate Valentine's cookies for family. I think both girls had lots of fun and enjoyed eating the fruits of their labor too!
Kaitlyn making a cookie for daddy. She had to be sure it had lots of sprinkles on it.

PKK storyline for the banana bread... Princess Kaitlyn and Cookie PiePea the bear were playing adventure tag in the enchanted forest. Princess Kaitlyn climbed a tree in an effort to escape getting tagged from Cookie Piepea. Upon climbing super high, Princess Kaitlyn met a scared spider monkey. He got lost and couldn't find his troop. The monkey, Cagadadayga (how am I going to remember all these names!) explained to Kaitlyn that he got separated from his troop when they were racing through the trees during playtime. Cagadadayga looked tired and hungry, so Princess Kaitlyn suggested he 'hang out' with her friend Cookie Piepea. She told the two of them that she would be back in a jiffy. Princess Kaitlyn ran back to the castle, whipped up some banana bread (since monkey's like bananas) and hustled back to the trees where she left Cookie PiePea and Cagadadayga. She shared the bread with her friends. Shortly after, they heard Cagadadayga's troop hollering for him. Cagadadayga gave Cookie PiePea and Princess Kaitlyn big hugs and promised to visit them and swung off to meet up with is troop.


Princess Kaitlyn starts mixing ingredients to make banana bread. Yum!!
She carefully monitors the creaminess of the fats to see if we can add our dry ingredients.
Time to add the dry ingredients to the fats and make sure they mix together well.


Princess Kaitlyn shaking the pan to release any air bubbles. Mommy tries to teach her well.
Is it time to eat the bread yet?

I love it mommy and I refuse to give you a good smile anymore. :-)


Daddy with his girls - ahhh!!!
Hope you enjoyed some of February's happenings in our household.
