Birthday Time!

Happy Birthday Sweet Pea!!

We're now into rapid fire birthdays, 3 in a month's time.  Sweet Pea kicked it off on Tuesday celebrating her 10th birthday!  Wow, I can't believe it.  She's grown and matured so much over the last year.  She's almost a different person. I was worried for awhile but We're finally getting out of her meltdown stage and has turned into a very dependable young girl. I can always count on her to fulfill her responsibilities without being told. She;s just a sweet little girl.  The picture above was taken  in San Francisco when my mom came to visit. I just love it!  I think she's about 1 1/2-2 yrs old here.

 Our traditional birthday breakfast in bed.  She chose an egg sandwich.  Although, notice she's so good about getting ready in the morning that she was up, bed made, dressed and just waiting for us to come in!

 

Recently I decided to do a little room switching (again).  This used to be G-man's room but I moved him downstairs.  Liv is back upstairs in Sweet Pea's old room.  Part of her birthday gift was finally painting her room.  Last time we switched bedrooms I said I would paint it and then never got around to it.  (Good thing)  So this time I had a goal and got it done.  A very bright pink.  Nice and cheery just like her. The white corner piece was my "one man's garbage is another man's treasure" find.    It was out front someone house  and had a "free" sign on it so I grabbed G-man and had him help me put it in the van.  I knew I would paint it white and put it in Sweet Pea's room. I finally did it.    Eventually we'll get somethings on the walls.

Last month Little A and Sweet Pea were off track. I can't tell you how many times I heard, "I'm bored"  Because I'm home schooling Ethan, we couldn't really do much.  So I decided that Sweet Pea needed to have a hobby and learn a skill.  We bought her knitting looms.  I was really nervous she would be like "What are these!"  But she totally loves them!  She started right away making a scarf, I should have bought that a long time ago.  Funny, even my boys want to learn how to do it. (No, she didn't make the hat she's wearing. She bought it for herself and wears it all the time.) One thing that hasn't changed is caring about what she wears!

Happy Birthday to my beautiful little girl!!
