K has a new hole in her head! She pulled it out all by herself!!

The children had a half day of school yesterday, so K invited a couple of friends over for a small "friends" birthday party. We stuck to the Ladybug theme. K chose chicken noodle soup for lunch and ladybug cupcakes. Our only planned activity was painting rocks into ladybugs. It was just enough. Getting free time to just enjoy playing together was the best! K's birthday is not until the 15th but after her first party with the grandparents she asked if she could say she was 6 yet. I told her that would be fine-once you've had your party, it is OK. Last night she did something she shouldn't have and I made the mistake of saying, "You know better then that, you are 6 years old now." To which she replied, "No, I'm not yet. My birthday isn't until next week!" I guess when you have your party early, you can choose which days you want to be 5 and which days you want to be 6!! Don't worry, she wasn't being fresh, just really cute!

One more note about school soccer...Yesterday, the boys won their first game in 7 years!!! It was a close game (7-6) and it was so fun to watch! B & J got assists and the littlest player on the team scored a goal. We didn't think it would happen this year, but it did!

K's theme this year was Ladybugs! She got to pick the theme, kind of cake and what we had for dinner.
The cake was confetti with vanilla frosting.
The Keith cousins-we couldn't get a good shot of J!
The only thing K asked for was a stuffed giraffe--that was after we told her should couldn't have a real horse or a real dog!
Our Ladybug!
