Weekend of Birthdays, Dance Recitals, and More Birthdays

 On Friday, Boss turned another year older and wiser. Since he had to work and Petey's birthday was a busy day, I took her and a friend to see The Croods. All month she's been asking to go to the movie theater for her birthday.
She had a hard time picking since I told her she could only bring one friend. I wish we could've taken more but that would've been expensive.
 They were excited for popcorn, of course.
 The movie was super cute and the kids laughed a lot.

Boss got off early so when he got home, we had him open his presents.
 Petey insisted he would love this pack of mints, which he did. :)
 I got him a new shirt.
 Spidey picked out this awesome Captain America shirt for his daddy.
 And I also got Boss a spotlight for when he goes camping. We didn't much else the rest of the day but I did let Boss nap and not do much that day.

On Saturday, Petey had her end of the year dance recital. I was happy and sad and excited and more sad because this is probably her last dance class with Miss JaNae.
 Petey has adored JaNae since she started classes with her last July and as a mother, I've appreciated everything JaNae has done for my girl. She has so much patience and is such a fun teacher. It's going to be an adjustment to have a new dance teacher but Petey is so excited for dance team this year.
 I love this picture of my boys. They were such good sports to sit through a 2 hour dance concert.
 My parents and younger brother and sister were also able to come and support Petey. She did really well even though she was having attachment issues that day and didn't want me to leave her in the dressing room with someone else during the recital. Unfortunatly, we weren't allowed to videotape this performance and though I've ordered the dvd, it won't be online for any of our out of townn relatives to enjoy.

Sunday was the last of the birthday celebrations. Petey had asked for a 'queen cake' and my mom went above and beyond and made this adorable cake jut for Petey.
It is exactly what Petey had wanted and she was a happy birthday girl.

 After dinner massages...Petey looked zoned out while Boss massaged her face.
 Petey opened her last present from us after dinner, princess barbies. She LOVES them.
 Grandma and Grandpa got her this Tinkerbell backpack/lunch box that was filled with Hello Kitty stuff. Our girl was in Heaven!
 Boss got a drill from my parents and though his smile is cheesy, he's been so excited about it.
 Petey and Aunt Gigi, admiring her Ariel barbie.
We sang happy birthday one last time this week to the birthday boy/girl and they got to blow out candles.

I love these two people so much and am so glad they are MINE!

Her 5th Year

 Well, she went ahead and did it. I told Petey to stop growing up so fast but she turned 5 anyway. Yesterday was my girly's birthday and we had quite the day!

She woke up early enough to open presents before Boss went to work.
Her sunflower plants were killed by my brother in laws puppy so we got her some new seeds to plant.
 Spidey got her Wreck It Ralph which she was SUPER happy about. She loves that movie.
 We got her new dance clothes.
 Hello Kitty pajamas.

 And a new scooter!
 We also got her 3 new dresses.
 Spidey was a good helper and took care of the wrapping paper.
 Daddy decided to put her scooter together before he went to work because she was so excited.
 She loves it!
 Then, the kids and I headed to Liberty Market for breakfast. Here they are washing their hands in the bathroom when we were done. I forgot to take a picture in the actual restaraunt.

We went to Toys'R'Us to get her birthday crown, balloon, and let her pick out a toy with her gift card and then we headed over to the mall for kids club so she could get her free ice cream from Dairy Queen.
 I had a doctor appointment around lunchtime so my friend, Lacey, watched the kids. When I came back to get them, they were just about to decorate cupcakes.

 Lacey was so sweet and stuck a candle in Petey's cupcake so we could sing happy birthday to her.
 She tried to blow it out but she couldn't get it so her bestie helped her out.  :)
 Spidey had fun licking all the frosting off his cupcake.
 "Look, mom, I have a beard just like daddy!"

Then we headed to Joe's Farm Grill for a late lunch/early dinner.
 As you can see, Spidey wouldn't take the straw out of his mouth for the picture. That kid is addicted to soda and doesn't get it often so when he does, he practically breathes it in.

I had a meeting for Petey's new school that night but when I got home, John and Darylle had left a present for Petey to open so we let her open it before bed.

 She was SO excited to see Vidia from the Tinkberbell movies. She loves those fairies!
And Belle! It was so sweet. She has been playing with the two of them all morning and telling me over and over how beautiful they are.

I have to brag for a minute because I have the sweetest daughter. Spidey had a hard time with all of the attention Petey was getting yesterday and Petey was such a good big sister. She shared pretty much everything from her day with him, she wanted to buy him some presents so he wouldn't feel left out {which I kindly explained that we wouldn't be doing}, she shared her treats with him, she let her best friend pick the color of the frosting for the cupcakes they made, etc. The hardest thing for Spidey was seeing Petey ride her brand new scooter, He wanted one so badly. She was so selfless and let him ride it as much as he wanted yesterday. What a good big sister. I love my Petey girl and I'm so glad she's mine.

I also interviewed my sweet girl this morning as part of her birthday. I hope you enjoy it!

I'm still kind of in shock that my baby is 3 today. I haven't had a baby in 3 whole years! The last time I was pregnant was 3 years and 13 hours ago. :) I feel like the luckiest person to have Spidey for a son. He lights up my life every day! Even when he's having a rough day, he still manages to make me smile.
