April turned seven

I’m a wee bit, long way behind in blogging, between my having a sinus infection & bronchitis and for many days, barely staying awake until Maisie’s bedtime only to crawl in bed early with her each night and pass out on the meds, Maisie’s ever busy schedule, getting ready for and then my parents arriving for the Thanksgiving holiday, poor little Maisie spiking and running a fever for her entire Thanksgiving break…well I’m just behind so I’ll be doing some posts to fill in all the details of days I was too tired or busy to actually sit down and blog. 

Back the Saturday before Thanksgiving we attended April’s seventh birthday party which was held at Lifetime Fitness.  Even though Maisie didn’t know anyone other than April, because it was all sport activities she had a fun time. 

IMG_0121e The children played hockey in the gym and Maisie was like the Energizer bunny, going and going and was in the thick of the game and scored a few goals for her team. 

IMG_0136eThe party goers enjoyed pizza and a giant chocolate chip birthday cookie.  I of course brought along Maisie “safe” pizza and chocolate chip cookies just for my girl.

IMG_0143eNext it was pool time.

IMG_0152eThough a bit tentative at first, Maisie had an absolute blast on the water slide.  As always it was fun celebrating with April.  Happy 7th birthday and have a wonderful year!

Not only am I behind in posting here on Moments with Maisie, I’m also way behind in posting recipes over on Cook Lisa Cook.  Today I posted a new recipe for Slow Cooker Ranch Mushrooms.  Three simple ingredients and made in a crockpot, easy, delicious and can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish or even as a topping on beef, chicken, pork or fish.  Click on the link or the picture to be taken to Cook Lisa Cook and the recipe.
