i think the best reminder of what blessings children can be came monday morning when elise barged into the bathroom and announced that the hall bathroom was flooded. i was in the shower (the first shower). i asked her what happened and she told me that it was wet and that she hadn't been in there at the time...clarence was in there, though. clarence, the cat, of course. so i had to mop up the flooded bathroom floor...brings a whole new meaning to "eau de toilette". another quick shower and i was ready to face my monday :) i'm so efficient that i showered for monday and tuesday in one morning! ;)
so today was elise's 6th birthday! i had asked her a couple of different times what she wanted to do and what she wanted for her birthday. she said every time that she wanted to go to tgifriday's for dinner and she wanted them to sing to her. easy enough (except that they don't sing at friday's anymore). we also brought (dirt) cupcakes in to the school to share with her friends. as i was telling my boss what elise had picked out, elise stopped me and said "but they aren't really dirt...it's chocolate." heeeeeeeeeee! elise also wore her birthday girl crown and sash pretty much all day...but then was so surprised when people said "hello" and "happy birthday" to her while we were out. when we got home, she opened pressies and (woohoo!) it was bedtime :)
i'm just kinda glad that we are done with birthdays for a bit at our house. christmas is coming...
