Hello Kitty party invites

We (I?) decided on a Hello Kitty themed birthday party for Sophie this year. It was between Hello Kitty and My Little Pony, but at the time I was deciding she'd just chosen a Hello Kitty bicycle for herself, so I thought I'd go with that. (It was after the new bicycle that she still hasn't ridden that we became the lucky recipients of a large collection of My Little Pony toys from a kind and generous freecycler - a collection that she simply adores and plays with everyday, leading me to believe I should have gone with MLP for the theme but seeing as the plates, napkins, and party favors have already been bought, we're sticking with Hello Kitty.)

Anyhoo, Sophie does like Hello Kitty very much and enjoys wearing her 2 HK shirts whenever she can. I'm pretty sure one of those shirts will be her "partywear" this year. ;) Here's the (very late) party invites... I think they turned out cute! I just hate sending out the cookie-cutter, un-special, store-bought invites so I make my own every year.

Luckily, Kitty is all white so there wasn't much for me to do but cut out the shape of the face and ears and make eyes, bows, and noses. And I stamped the inside with the party info.

First Day of (Pre)School

She was excited to go to her first day and meet her new friends and play in her new classroom. Yesterday at the open house, I got a chance to meet with her teacher, Miss LeBlanc, and see her classroom. Less than a minute after arriving, Sophie told me I could go.

So today when she got dropped off at the door, she was totally ready to go and didn't look back. When I picked her up, she told me that she got to play at the playground and played cars with a friend. She even came home with a bag of popcorn in her backpack.
