Weekend recap

Image
It’s Monday and I’m exhausted. Between being sick, taking care of 2 sick kids last week, and celebrating a birthday this weekend I am plumb pooped.  Which reminds me.  Hannah got one of those animated Elmo’s one year (the hokey pokey one) and during one of his dance sequences he would say “whew, Elmo’s pooped”.  Hannah had never heard that word before in any other context, so for the longest while whenever Elmo said that she immediately picked him up and brought him to me for a diaper change.  Too cute.  But I digress.  The purpose of this post is to show you some of the wonderful pictures of a birthday weekend. On Saturday Hannah celebrated with some friends at her preschool/gym.  It was a lot of fun! Afterwards we went home to have dinner with some friends and family.

And your third… And here’s to many, many more. Happy Birthday, Hannah. Please stop growing so fast.  Okay? 

Blogging awards: round two

I am so thankful for all the wonderful awards that have been given to me!  I am, however, not very timely in posting about most of them!  For starters, I’d like to thank Valentine for bestowing on me the Extraordinary and Awesome Blogger award! Valentine at Letters From Valentine also passed on the Humane award to me!  Thanks to Tracey at Aloha Monkey Tales and Cassie at Southern Domestic Goddess for the One Lovely Blog award.    Is that cool, or what?
