Today is the day that Sallie Celess turns the big whole hand 5. I can not believe that it has been 5 years since I brought that little bundle home from the hospital and learned all about what it was to be a "Mama". I remember those first couple of nights home from the hospital waking up every 2 -3 hours for feedings, that went on for what seemed like forever and now that time seems like forever ago..... I am so thankful to have a happy and healthy 5 year old. Not only is she happy and healthy but Sallie Warren, you are the sweetest, spunkiest, funniest, smartest little girl out there (I am a little partial). Your teachers and little friends in your class this year are lucky to have you there and I know that you will have a great year. Happy birthday sweet girl. This mama loves you more than you will ever know. I know that this next 5 years will fly by like the first and will be just as fun. I wish that I could freeze time and continue to enjoy you being 5 but I know that I can't so I am going to strive to enjoy every single day to the fullest (the good and the ugly). I hope that you have a wonderful day today.
We had Sallie and Anna's birthday party at the park last week so today is just a little birthday celebration for Sallie with family. We started the day with a doughnut with a candle in it for breakfast. I made some mini cupcakes for her class to have at snack. Ward is picking her up at lunch to take her to Frankies fun park to ride the go carts. Sallie and I are going to get pedicures this evening and then we are all going to eat at Chick fil a (her choice). You think that she may be rotten by the end of the day? I will keep you posted on that. She is so excited about her big day. She is unwrapping a pink cash register from us and some dress up shoes and a barbie from Anna. We will celebrate Anna's big day on Monday so we will do all this over again minus the Frankies and pedicures. Anna does not care about that and would hate to ride a go cart. All she wants for her birthday ........a carebear. Where do you even find those anymore? Sallie has one so Anna wants one. We are still on the lookout for that so if you have any suggestions on where to get this, let me know. Heres to birthdays!!!!
The girls both started back to school Monday which is earlier than most. Sallie started Kindergarten this year but stayed at Eastminister. She loved her first day and had so much fun. She is really impressed by the smart board that is in her room. She already came home singing a song about money and the order of the coins. Mrs. Mack is her teacher and she is so sweet and I know that she is going to have a incredible year. Anna got Mrs. Rachael for the 3's and will go to school everyday. She enjoyed her first day as well. She is warming up to the idea of going to school everyday. We used to have Tuesdays and Thursdays together at home so it is all new to be going everyday. I am adjusting to this as well:( They both get out at 12 so I do have lots of time in the afternoons to enjoy them. Eastminster has been such a great school and I will be so sad when it is no longer a part of our daily life. I do feel that the girls are loved so much there and have learned so much not only about school stuff, but about God. I know that next year we will have to move on but it will be a sad day:) This year is going to be great.... I must say that I really enjoyed my first summer being at home with the girls and we did lots of fun things.................but am loving being back in school as well. I like a routine and school is a good routine for us. I know that when we start real school, I probably won't look forward to that as much but this 9 -12 school day is great:)
