Frosting

This morning I had the following conversation with Emily:

"Mommy!  The grass is all WHITE!"

"Yeah, it got really cold last night so we got some frost.  Cool, huh?  That's the closest we get to snow down here."

"Look! Jake and Julie's [our neighbors] yard has frosting, too!"

Emily's 5th birthday PARTY!

Emily had a great birthday party at My Gym.  They played all sorts of games and also got to spend some time exploring the gym and doing whatever looked like fun!  Miss Alyssa and Miss Shannon made it a fun time for everyone.

Silly Bailey

Over the past week I have had several conversations with Bailey that have really had me laughing.  Two-year-olds are a riot!!

The other day, after I put her shirt on her, I noticed that she had a string dangling down from the sleeve.  So I said, "Bailey, come into the kitchen.  You have a string on your arm and I need to cut it."

Bailey got very upset and replied, "No! I don't want you to cut my arm!" LOL!!  I guess I should have been clearer about what I was going to cut!

AND...

Bailey was playing on Emily's bike and she fell off and scratched her belly.  So that night after her bath Will and I were trying to put some Neosporin on the scratches.  She was super upset because I mentioned a band-aid (this kid HATES band-aids for some reason) so we told her we weren't going to put a band-aid, but that we needed to put some cream on her boo-boo.  Again, she got upset and said, "I don't want you to give me a boo-boo!"  And it took like ten minutes of us explaining that we weren't trying to GIVE her a boo-boo, we were trying to take care of the boo-boo she already had!  Sheesh!!  But it was still funny.

And last but not least...

Yesterday B was watching Max and Ruby, and Max pulled a worm out of a mud puddle.  So Bailey says, "Look!  Max has a noodle!"

I laughed and said, "That's not a noodle; that's a worm."

Bailey goes, "Oh, that's not a noodle.  That's a WORM!"

So I burst out laughing, which made her laugh, which made Emily and me laugh even harder.  What fun!!

Emily turns 5!

Emily had a special birthday, and we still have her party to look forward to this weekend!  At school, Ms. Christina made her a birthday crown to wear!  We brought cupcakes and her class sang to her.

After school we went to McDonald's for lunch with some friends.  It was a little bit of a letdown since the playplace was closed and that was why she wanted to go there, but she still had fun:



Then, since Mommy had a doctor's appointment that afternoon, she went over to Bella and Lydia's house and they gave her the Furry Frenzies city playset that she wanted!  She was thrilled!!

And finally, when we got home, she got to ride her brand-new big-girl bike, which was her present from Mommy and Daddy.

The funniest part was when we put her to bed, though, and she said, "Mommy, when I wake up tomorrow it will be my very real birthday!"  Sorry, kid, you only get one a year!!
