Pencil pusher

Pencil Pusher has been Eloise's imaginary Cog friend for years. This year she asked to see him as her birthday cake. In his honor, we decided to have a Toontown theme party.

Cog War

Toons war with the cogs and throw gags at them. These are the cogs we made for Eloise's party... a flunky bossbot and a Mr Hollyood sellbot.

Abby and Eloise try out the cogs

Tug-of-war

Tug of war is a traditional toon game. In toontown, the toons battle against the cogs and the loser ends up in the pond. At the party, the kids battled against Mom and Dad over a wading pool. It was a big hit.

Dance like Minnie

Eloise led the "Dance like Minnie Mouse" competition.

Eloise dances like Minnie, our guests dance like Goofy. A good time was had by all.

Definitely the big hit of the party... 'cause nothing is better than water ballons

Visitor

Sunday after the party, we came home from church to find a lizard crawling through the kitchen. Both girls were enchanted.

Disney Day!

Our friend Holly joined us for birthday fun at Disneyland. Eloise was thrilled they both had pumpkin shirts

Indiana Jones

Eloise was tall enough to ride Indiana Jones, but not sure she wanted to. We got her through the line once, but she prefers her roller coasters. She will skip Indiana Jones, but looks forward to being tall enough for California Screamin'
