6

Kayla turned 6 today, which she informed me this morning is half way to 12!

Really!!???

 I told her to never say something like that again.  Talk about a way to break a moms heart ;)

The last two weeks have been out of control crazy around here and there is no slowing down in sight. 

We have an entire weekend of Birthday celebrations planned.

I still have lots of shopping to get done which I had planned on doing as soon as I dropped off the birthday girl at school.

Except as I packed up her birthday cookies, juice boxes and napkins for her to share with her class she mentioned how she couldn't wait for me to come pass out the cookies to all her friends and watch them sing to her.

Ummmmm what?

When I tried to explain to her that I have a lot of places I need to go to get ready for her parties she pulled the "but all the other moms come and pass out the snacks for their kids birthdays!"

Would have been nice to know about this earlier, good thing I actually showered and got ready this morning so I looked presentable when I went into her class.

At school they sang Happy Birthday and then she got 6 birthday spankings from her teacher.

Here's the birthday girl with a few of her friends

When it came time to pick her up daddy surprised her with some flowers and then brought her home.

Here is her face full of excitement when she came in and saw her presents waiting for her

I know it looks a bit ridiculous but I swear most of those are books!
She loves science and reading so she got lots of books on dinosaurs and the earth.

of course the mini pinata full of candy was a hit!

sweet thank you's to her baby sister

The shopping and cupcake baking for party #1 did eventually get done but the most important thing of the day is that this 6 year old had a great birthday!
