The one where 5 years ago today......

this was the scene

at my house.

time flies.

The one where i can feel it! can you?..

i went to the school this morning

to help with sams party.

i was immediately taken back to 

the last day of school before christmas break

when i was little.

the air was electric.

if there was an excitement meter

it would have hit a 10.

it made me excited for my kids to be home.

i'm sure it will pass after day 2.

but for now my heart is racing just a little

thinking of all the fun 

that this next week will bring.

its either that or  a sugar rush

from the  3 mint brownies

i ate for breakfast this morning.

i blame you megan,

and  yet thank you all at the same time.

The one with another happy happy birthday.

today my baby is 5.

she is all 5 today.

yesterday i told eveyone

to take a good look at her on her last day

being 4.

i'll miss 4.

5 means bring on the sass(if shes like her sis)

5 means kindergarten.

5 means wiping your own bum.(cross'n our fingers)

5 means sleeping in your own bed all night.(we had to draw a line)

5 means independence.

5 hurts.

are birthdays like this for you?

i've got to come to grips!!!!

well here she is.....

our "baby",

enjoy.

at the hospital, ready to come home.

when you got her to giggle you became

greedy and wanted more,

and she rarely obliged.

in front of her "big girl bed"

i think she slept in there twice.

ok maybe three times.

one binky was just never enough.

first piggy tails. it was apparently a big day.

she had some seriously crazy hair.

and she was pretty serious most of the time.

if you know her now thats hard to believe.

she's making up for lost time.

i love you eliza may.

you may turn 5 now.

i'll be brave.

The one with a quick update.

my girls(cheerleaders)

won state in both divisions today.

just thought i'd

 let you know.

no more getting up at 5:ooam

for a while.

they were awesome.

i am relieved.

night, night.
