Happy Birthday Miss L!!!

Happy Birthday Miss L!

We had such a fun birthday week. Wednesday: Miss L got to tour Houston Port Authority with her family (Lil' G loved the tugboats), have birthday breakfast, Thursday: cupcakes to preschool, and Saturday: lunch/ decorating cupcake party with her friends today. ( Note the aprons that Corinne made with little cupcakes on them. They are darling!!!!)


Wednesday Miss L turned four. I can't believe how much my life has changed in four years. My family and specifically my children are my life. I guess that is how being a stay at home mom is. Miss L is the perfect trendsetter. She doesn't get pushed around and I love that about her. She knows what she wants. She is natural performer. She loves to read. She is sensitive. She loves her friends. She is independent. She is so wonderful!!!!!

Glad she is my girl.

Snow in Texas....

This is first year of the 4 we have lived here that snow has really fallen, a few flakes a few years ago, but this year it stuck, big fluffy flakes. Although my garden is very sad, and my hibiscus are sad too, the kids loved it. Lil' G didn't really realize how cold it was, but Miss L, was out several times to lap it up before it melted today.

Miss L's Birthday Date

Tonight was Miss L's birthday present/date with her dad. They went to Disney on Ice. She wore her princess dress, of course. She was so excited! I am still waiting for them to come home.

Piano Recital

Today was the semi-annual piano recital. A lot of students and nervous kids. They all did really great. And this year I was only left with 2 extra cookies, not boxes. I only made a few this time. Miss L decided about half way through when she thought it clearly her turn to play a song, and promptly walked up to the piano on the stand, luckily I had a friend/parent who graciously took her out. I think it is probably time to start her, so she can be a "student" at the next recital.

Caramel Apples

I decided to make chocolate turtles from our Walgreen's 1/2 price Halloween caramels, and my stash of 20 lbs. of fine Georgia pecans I am trying to eat up. I didn't quite make the caramel right, it was too runny for the turtles, but perfect for Miss L to make a caramel apple, which is a perfect project for her age. It tasted DEVINE. Good thing I have another bag tucked away another project next month.

Temple with Tots

We go up to the LDS temple and trade toddlers and babies so moms can go to the temple every month. It was gorgeous weather on Wednesday, so the tots and I ventured out for a walk.

On a side note, I had them all lined up on a bench for picture, when the sprinkler system system turned on with all five kids in tote. Classic.
