I neglected to share that soccer games Saturday was in fact raining and freezing,(at least for Norah's game) maybe one of these weeks the weather will cooperate!

Have I mentioned how very excited I am for her birthday?!?! No well let me tell ya, Norah has never had a birthday PARTY. In our house we celebrate with a party for 1,5,10 and so on. The years in between we have fancy cakes but don't invite all sorts of friends and family.
ANYWAY the miss has NEVER had one. Her first was canceled due to life changing events in the house and then..................... This year she is 5, I can't believe she's already to 5!!!!!!!
For the past year she has wanted to go to "chuck-e-cheese" :( Well I had this brilliant idea and with the correct enthusiasm I have her convinced that an at home party with a few friends and grandparents would be best.

We are going to decorate canvas bags and then paint some little wooden birdhouses and I purchased some polyurethane to make them h2o proof and then I have some cute goodies to go in the bag. The big surprise for her is going to be a pinata in the backyard:)
I CAN'T WAIT!!!and yet I'd like to wait forever.........................

Today she is going with her friend "Norah" from school (who can't be at the party) to McD's for a happy meal and then to play at the park, she is so excited:)

This week also marks week one of the miss having no naps!! I have a friend(of the internet variety) who has done this with wonderful go to bed at nighttime success. This I am hoping will get her to GO TO BED AND STAY THERE!!! I have promised to give it a week to adjust and we'll re-evaluate after that.....

I'll leave you with some pictures of a chicka who was pretty darn peek-ed but still wanted to play in her soccer game..................
