The Perfect Day

There is no such thing as the perfect day.

It is like the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy (Santa IS real!!!), it sounds nice and fuzzy, but it does not exist.

I have looked forward to today, September 7, 2011, for 9 long years. Today my youngest child had her first day of preschool. For the very first time, all four kids were simultaneously at school.

Until...


...the school called.

Stevie threw up. Way to go Stevie. Way to ruin my perfect day.

Happy Birthday Natalie!!!

Natalie's big day this year was a little toned down. She went to kindergarten, came home, went to dinner, and came back home for cake and presents. Nothing major, it had already been a pretty crazy week, so I was happy to keep it low key.

Here are pictures of the present mayhem.

I figured she wouldn't mind the smaller birthday when she got a puppy!

This picture sums up Natty in a nutshell. Happy-go-lucky, photogenic, darling Natalie.

Happy Birthday big girl!!!
