A Late Birthday For Callie

It was a great afternoon. Gi Gi and Great Grandpa came up for a late birthday celebration for Callie. We had Hot Dogs and a Three Bean Bake and cupcakes too. Here's some photos of the guys putting a trampoline together we got for the girls. Some photos of my beautiful kids frosting the cupcakes and a picture of our cat, Jasper trying to get the fake bird inside the cage. Your great-grandparents got this for you. If you clap your hands, it activates the bird to make chirping noises and he went crazy over this. I am so looking forward to spending more time with my grandparents this summer.

Callie Turns 3!

Happy Birthday Callie! I made you a cake and McKenzie did the frosting and decorating. You really like the new etch-a-sketch you got. It lights up.

Bean Please!

You love the beans they top your smoothie with. Stopped by the Human Bean in Ashland yesterday and I'll ask you what kind of smoothie you want and you say "strawbree smoodee please." You can have such nice manners at times.

You got you sisters trundle bed today and your gigi and grandpa also came up and put together McKenzie's new bunk bed. Callie thought her "big girl bed" was a trampoline.

Finally!

She begged for "shells and cheese" and I finally caved in. You got shells and cheese for lunch and dinner today. Such a good mommie.

North Mountain Park

Wasn't sure if McKenzie's class would be able to go on their field trip today to North Mountain Park in Ashland. The weather looked pretty grim but the rain held off until after they got back to school. Thank you Lord. They're learning about pioneering. Each child had their chance to pan for gold. "Eureka! I'm rich!," McKenzie said after finding her small find.

Shells and Cheese

Callie's favorite food these days is "Annie's Shells and Cheese." When I got home from work with a grocery bag from Shop-n-Kart with her favorite food inside, she wanted me to fix it for her and I wouldn't because Daddy already made her a dinner that she didn't eat. She was so mad because she didn't get her way, she took the shells and cheese box to bed with her. When she awoke the following morning the first thing out of her cute little mouth was "want shells and cheese please." Callie never got her shells and cheese today but I'll make it for her tomorrow.

School Dance

Took the girls to the schools 70's dance on Friday. They had fun. Got McKenzie's shirt from Target and I made Callie's shirt. The head piece, I found at a little shop in Ashland called Paddington Station.

Somebody asked me what it is like to be a parent and I told them "It's like walking around the rest of your life with your heart outside your body." When I see my girls, my heart melts with joy. I love these girls so very much.
