My princess is 4 years old today! She brings me such joy and laughter every day!

A: How old are you, Mama?

Me: 35. (in a quavering old lady voice) I'm an old, old lady!

A: (bursts into tears) You're not old!

A mom at a birthday party today asked A who she thought would break the pinata. A replied, "I think it will be me. I do CrossFit so I'm probably the strongest person here."

My baby is 3 today! We went in to sing happy birthday to her when she woke up - she exclaimed "stop it! I don't like that song!"

Putting the finishing touches on W's princess cake for her party today! Had to have a slight substitution - Sleeping Beauty was too tall for the cake size, so Strawberry Shortcake had to step in..

So excited for A's birthday party at CrossFit today...although she did just ask "Is W coming to my party? Why?"

So great to hear my brother's voice (even if I didn't recognize it at first). Aa was so excited that Uncle J called all the way from Afghanistan to wish her a happy birthday!

A just opened her presents from us - Cars on blueray, a Cars snuggie, and the Cars game for Nintendo DS. I said jokingly "now you can play your Cars on your DS, while watching Cars, while wearing your new snuggie." She looked at me with shining eyes and with an awed tone said "I can DO that?!"

A asks "is tomorrow my birthday?" I said, "yes, when you wake up you will be 4 years old!" She replied thoughtfully "ok, I will make sure to check my legs to see if they are longer"

I think A is a little bit excited about her birthday coming up on Thursday...she's in the living room singing Happy Birthday to herself...

Cleaning house, baking cookies, making birthday decorations all while watching Star Wars: ANH with my little Darth Vader fanatic. Could there be a more perfect Saturday afternoon?

"A, how old are you?" "I'm FREE!" Happy birthday, baby!
