Tea Time for a Beautiful 7 Year Old!

We celebrated Hannah's 7th Birthday with a Tea Party, (it was actually hot chocolate), with a few of her friends. I think everyone had a great time.

Boo!

Usually When I'm Tired...

A few nights ago, I was tucking Hannah in to bed and reminding her about a few things she needed to remember for school the next day.  I had already gone over these things with her earlier.  My tedious, perfectionistic side must have taken over as I felt the need to drone on about whatever it was some more when she politely interrupted me and said, "Mom...usually when I'm tired, I just try to go to sleep".  Good point!  I zipped it, kissed her goodnight, took her advice and went to bed.  She's pretty sharp for an almost 7 year old.

Bithday Celebration - Disney Style

To counteract the effects of aging this year, my sister and I decided to celebrate our birthday at Disneyland like a couple of overgrown kids.  It wa a great day.

 

Here are the birthday girls in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle (or is it Cinderella's...whatever).  Disneyland is free on your birthday in 2009...perfect when you share a birthday with your sister.  Like the lady at the ticket counter pointed out...one's just a little taller and as my sister was kind enough to point out, a little older too.

I must be getting old because this year I got my first "you look pretty good for your age" card and a birthday gift wrapped in the obituaries from a couple of friends (well, former friends...hahaha).  Thanks for reminding me ladies!

A Fairy of a Different Sort

About a week ago, Sarah dropped a large brick paver on her big toe.  7 days, lots of tears and countless accidental bumps followed by blood curdling screams later, her toenail looks like it's about to fall off.  She is a little fearful about this, so to ease her fear and lighten the mood, I told her I wasn't sure, but there might be a Toenail Fairy.  A little gross I know, but it brought instant giggles and I am certain now that if it falls off, it's going straight under her pillow. 

So, if you were the Toenail Fairy, what would you leave under her pillow?
