and now she is 4

It is hard for me to believe that I have a 4 year old. There is no way M is 4 already!? How did that happen?? She had a great birthday, with many wonderful presents...to be honest probably the best set of presents she's gotten yet. She loves every single one of them, has played with most of them, a lot. (except the kite, but that is to be done soon). Her favorite is probably the hamster that Justi got her (a zhu zhu pet mind you, if it were real I would be forced to do something horrible to her). Some great tunes from Megan and her family (Gilli's favorites apparently) that caused some great dancing! Too many great things, thanks to everybody. And a BIG thank you to every one who came to her party yesterday - you made it a lot of fun! We went to a local park that has a interactive water (fountain) park. Also, I made ice cream cone cup cakes, that, after making them for M's daycare class, remembered that schools don't really allow baked goods anymore. J's coworkers ate them instead (well, mostly J, but he shared a little).

Your cupcakes turned out so cute! Your kids are pretty cute too. :)

Dude! No baked goods? That's just crazy talk. Love the photos. :) Wondering why there aren't any of you?! Is it because John is slacking? Or because you got to decided which photos post on the blog? Hmmm ... I wonder.

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

Caught Bare Bottomed.

Yesterday I went to retrieve my kids from playing in the backyard with the neighbors....When I round the corner I behold my 5 year old daughter with her shorts baring her bottom to the 6 year old neighbor boy. Me:  M!  E!  It is time to go home. now! M:  E did it too! (while sheepishly pulling her shorts back up and E snaps his head around to look at me with big eyes and "O" mouth) WHY?

Veggie Tales

so, because i'm lazy and am terrible at getting up in the mornings M and my morning routine is not the best, but it works for us. I get up when I hear her yell "mooom. daaaad. mooom. blah blah goober gibber." I get her out of bed, and still sleeping I go to the kitchen grab cereal or left over pancakes, or multi-grain bar for breakfast, put M in her highchair or more often just on the floor with a bowl and instantly she says "tales" and I turn on the one of our veggie tales movies and lay on the couch until my brain is working. well...just the other day it was the same routine, but when the movie ended I watched M disappear around the back of the couch and in a few seconds I see her hand reach up and grab the remote of the back of the couch, walks back around, hands me the remote and says "tales" and looks expextantly at the t.v. It was soooo funny and adorable. sometimes lately she comes up to me and says "remote?" and then "I dunn...
