Freaking 31 years old!

It's was my birthday yesterday....

I hate it. Dumb.

Well I thought I would try to be positive and show you the pics of Mae and my family efforts to make it a good day..

It was a "Bee" Day...... hense the bee theme.

Overall it was okay. I worked, mowed the lawn, made spaghetti and then fought with Macie.. What do you expect at 31?

Thanks to the fam, for the "suprise party"

2nd Grade!

Today was Macie's first day of 2nd grade!

It has always bugged me when moms say "she is getting so big!" or even cry when they drop them off at their first day at school......

But now I get it!

Looking at these pictures freaks me out!

2nd Grade

Every year we take pictures with Mae's best friend Emily (neighboor) before school. This year is the first time they are in different classes..... so sad.

Here are the last few years.... so cute!

Fashion Police!

Macie has been into fashion lately, maybe it was the school shopping, not sure.. So today she said, "come here" so I stood next to her (I was wearing almost white pants and a gray t-shirt with a white tanktop underneath and no shoes) and she said "too much white!" as she ajusted my shirt, then she asked me what shoes I wore. So I showed her what shoes I wore and she said "oh, those are perfect!"

I am so glad that I have someone looking over me, even if she is 7!

Also, her best friend came over the other day to see her new school clothes and as she left she said to Mae "you are going to be so popular!"

Ha Ha! I am in for it!

The Saturday Night Tent

Me and Mae got bored because the weather wasn't so great. So we built a tent in our basement. Mae slept in it and we made popcorn with chocolate syrup and watched a movie

It was so much fun!

Barbies!

While playing Barbies today with Macie...I realized that the barbies don't have a bed.. (a mom can only play barbies for so long without getting bored or side tracked!)

So, after googling "barbie furniture" for awhile, we both got creative......

Before: Old clothes, a shoe box, hot glue, hair rollers and needle and thread:

After: A cute barbie bed with ruffles and accent pillows:
