A Little Birthday Fun!

I have a 4 year old!  She was so cute on Saturday when we had her birthday party, she woke up and said "Mommy, am I 4 today?"  And I said "no, not until tomorrow."  Her response "But it's my party day!!!"

I then had to explain that yes it was her party day but she didn't really turn 4 until Sunday.  So on Sunday when she woke up she said "Mommy....am I 4 today?"  And she was so excited that she was finally 4!!!

 

I am really hoping that someone else had a camera because I hardly took any pictures :(

Here are a few of the girls enjoying their new sidewalk paint.

 

I don't think they got the idea of "sidewalk" paint.

March is almost Over ?!?!

It's March 21!  I can't believe it.....in 6 days I am going to have a 4 year old!  Yikes, I can't believe it!  It's not that I am opposed to having a 4 year old but the fact of the matter is that I am in no way shape or form ready for her birthday party.  You won't believe what I did.

I invited everyone via Facebook!  Gasp!!  Horror!  :(

I am one unmotivated Mommy.  Normally I start planning/crafting birthdays a month or two in advance.  I don't have a theme, I don't have presents, I don't have anything.  I actually thought about buying store-made cupcakes.

Don't worry I don't think I'm sick, just overwhelmed with everything else right now.  And I know that no one would probably even notice that I didn't plan for months or stay up late every night for a month making decorations.  And I definitely know that my little Kie-bug could care less if I made anything or if I bought it at the store, she will love whatever I do.

I will be doing a mad shopping run/birthday planning/present buying trip on Thursday and whatever I get will be good enough!  And by the way I blame this obsessive compulsive disorder on my Mom, I learned it from her.  She always tells me "Don't worry, no one will even know."  So Mom I am completely blaming my OCD on you!

Have a great night!

Survival at it's Finest

Hi everyone!  I have missed all of you and I have missed reading everyone's blogs but with my crazy life something had to give and it was crafting and blogging.  But I miss you friends!

So I am 7 weeks into this deployment and we are surviving just fine!  Don't get me wrong we all have our moments.....did you know it only took my kids 45 seconds to find me when I tried hiding in the closet and a minute and half to find me when I tried hiding in the garage?  I think I need to find better hiding places!

I am trying to pack our days full of activities or friends to hang out with, it seems like the busier we are the easier it is on the girls.  My family has been amazing as well....especially my brother, he is a Godsend!  It doesn't matter what I ask him to do he is always willing to help.  Most of the time I just bug him to come hang out with me!

I hope you are all doing well!  I miss all of you and hopefully I can at least try to start blogging at least once a week.....we shall see how it goes!
