Kaelyn's classroom b-day party
At the movies on her birthday with Darcie
Both kids recently had birthdays. Zack turned 4 and Kaelyn 7! I can't believe how quickly they change from babies, to toddlers, and then to little kids! On some days my heart aches for another baby, on other days I don't know what I was thinking:-)
Zack had a good birthday. We went to Peter Piper Pizza. He received lots and lots of gifts. So many that most of them are still unopened at the top of his closet. I give him a new toy every once in a while. I thought he would probably get more enjoyment getting one at a time than all at once. He was so cute on his birthday, he asked me ... "Mommy, can birthday boys get in trouble". I'm not sure what kind of schemes he had in mind but I assured him that if birthday boys make bad choices they can still get in trouble. He pondered what ever it was he was thinking about doing for a while before running off happily.
Kaelyn's birthday landed on Spring Break, so we postponed her party. We'll probably have it next week or something. We haven't pinned down a date yet. I wasn't able to bring in treats to her classroom (since I work now) so I asked my sister Darcie to do me a favor and bring in treats for Kaelyn. Well ... in true "Darcie form" she went all out. I had sent cookies to school with Kaelyn that morning and then Darcie showed up with a huge balloon bouquet, Krispy Kreme donuts, hats, a book to read, and a camera to take pictures. She read the book to the class and had them all into the book by reading along with her. Then she passed out the cookies and donuts (thank goodness it was at the end of the day or the teacher might have been in for a rough sugar crazy day). The kids all got to wear the hats and get their pictures taken. Darcie checked Kaelyn out of school early and took her shopping, to the movies, and then we all met for dinner. Darcie truly is a SUPER aunt to Kaelyn. She really made her day!!
I posted some of the pictures from Kaelyn's birthday. Darcie took lots at Zack's party but I don't have them yet. I will post them later.
