My Mistake!

Why oh why oh why did I buy panties with the days of the week for Emma? As if getting her dressed every day weren't hard enough?!? Looking at the bright side, at least she's learning her days of the week and how to read them!

Emma's birthday

Emma turned 4 years old on March 19th! She was very excited about turning 4, although the realization that she can't go back to nursery was a little hard for her. She requested spaghetti for her birthday dinner which was nice for me, easy!

She was of course very excited to open her gifts and loved them all!

Here you get a nice view of her outfit. Gotta love the orange patterned skirt with the multicolored striped shirt. Yep, she's stylin'!

She got some mints and gum for her birthday too! She loves life savor sours and will eat a ton of them. She also has been known to swallow 14 pieces of gum in one sitting. She seems to find gum no matter where it is hidden. We are working on just chewing and she's getting a lot better at it.

We had sick kids on the day of her birthday, in fact no one went to school that day. This is Garrett expressing his feelings about being sick:

Unfortunately, the sickness has continued at our house with the stomach flu this week instead of the constant cough we had last week. We are hoping to be done with it and are looking forward to being healthy again!

The day after her birthday we took cupcakes to her preschool. Of course most of the kids, Emma included, just ate the frosting. I think next time I could just take a tub of frosting and save all the trouble of baking the cupcakes!

This is how Emma's cake looked a couple of days later. Hmmm, wonder who did that?

Happy Birthday to my big girl! We love you!
