And then we were done

There is no better way to start the week than spending all morning ironing, getting 3 kids dressed, hair done and managing to find something comfy to put on your ever expanding belly and then sitting in church singing the closing song and having your two year old look at you and promptly proceed to vomit all over you for 2 minutes straight. Well maybe when she is in the process of throwing up and your husband is so helpful as to throw a pack of wet wipes at you. I'm pretty proud of the fact that I didn't heave myself. Good news: She hasn't thrown up since and I got to go home and change into something far more comfortable.

Anyway, I'll do a quick wrap up of the Birthday girls celebrations and then we'll be done with her for awhile. I think we dragged that birthday out for as long as possible!Our awesome neighbor Noah always puts up the birthday cake for everyone on the street's birthday. We're sure going to miss them when they move to Virginia :(

On her actual birthday I think we did our part to contribute to childhood obesity.
For breakfast she wanted doughnuts and then Dustin and I brought her McDonald's for lunch at school, plus more doughnuts we had for her class treat. When she got home from school I had her help me make her birthday cake because she still thinks that kind of thing is fun. In fact, I even let her decorate the whole thing. I think she did a really cute job.After a quick dinner of homemade pizza -- Ellie picked pineapple and canadian bacon -- we did the fastest present opening ever because we had to head off to the softball fields. Thanks for all the fun gifts family!

(this game is super fun for littler kids on the wii, even Sadie can play it and it may have burned off a few of the birthday calories)
(guess who got into this gift the very next day and earned herself a nice long time out?)

Then Saturday we took her out for our gift: a day out with mom and dad and NO siblings. I stole the idea from Jill. I like the idea of her getting a little one-on-one time with both of us.

We went out for lunch and then to see the Hannah Montana movie. It actually wasn't as terrible as I thought it was going to be and Ellie loved it. After it was over we took her shopping. She picked out some new sun glasses, flip flops and a shirt. The cute part was everything she bought was on a two-for-such and such a price deal so she bought a second set for Sadie. What a sweet sister. And so now she is seven. :( I can't believe next year I'll be blogging about her baptism.

Oh yeah, and Nate is still alive and well.
