Finally

Another Childhood Scent

When mom and dad left my house a couple weeks ago, mom left me the Noxema they had with them. I've been using it at night, and the first night when I tucked Katie in she said, "What's that smell?"

I said, "What do you mean?"

"That spicy mint smell. I smell grandpa. I love it!"

"Oh" I said. "It's grandma & grandpa's face cleaner. I have some."

"You smell DELICIOUS!! Let me smell your face!"

And every night since then, she calls for me to come to her room so she can "sniff grandpa" and smell him before she goes to bed.

And she has her first loose tooth.

Calling All Cooks!

Olivia had her "Calling all Cooks" birthday party with all her friends. She planned the whole thing. Her menu choice was pizza, blueberry muffins and a crepe birthday cake. The kids loved it!

Rolling out the pizza dough.

Happy birthday girl.

The requested crepe cake from Olivia. 

Everyone had their choice between Nutella or powdered sugar filled.

Julia was such a HUGE help at the party. I couldn't have done it without her.

Julia's dream come true.

Katie covered in whipped cream.

Going nuts with the whipped cream.

Getting silly.

One "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to" moment. 

Second meltdown moment. Party over.
