sillyness and birthdays

We are counting down the days until summer, and starting to switch into summer gear already. We have already started spending some time at the pool, which is where we will live this summer, and the girls have started getting into dress up again.

But, now they like digging in my closet for shoes and accessories...





Also, we have been baking up a storm! Since all three of the kids have summer birthdays we have been busy baking cupcakes for both classes this week for early birthday celebrations. Elise hates that her birthday isn't during the school year, and so the teachers allow the summer birthday kids to have a day near the end of the year where their big day is celebrated. This includes important things like wearing a crown at school, and getting to pick out of the coveted birthday box! This year, since basically the whole class is summer birthdays who have spent an extra year in preschool, they have been celebrating a birthday every day this week! Sugar overload! And, of course, since L and B knew that Elise was doing this, we had to bake for their class and their "pretend" birthday too.

Elise is so over pink right now, and very into turquoise, so we made some little flags out of ribbon to decorate the tops of her cupcakes.

They definitely look very homemade, but that is the point, right? And we had fun making them together.

We did flags for Lila and Bennett's cupcakes too, with red and pink polka dot ribbon..but I forgot to take a pic.

So, it has been a jam packed week around here as school winds down. School program posts soon to come!
