It's been a busy week. On Memorial Day, it rained and rained, so we spent the day moving Connor and Chase into their new bedroom downstairs. It has of course caused a ripple effect that I am still not caught up on. All the stuff that was in that downstairs bedroom is either in a huge D.I. pile or stacked in the spare bedroom. The boys seem to like it, but Mike is still having withdrawals that they aren't just across the hall. I don't know what he will do when they actually move out. We moved the girls' into their new bedroom upstairs and I spent all day yesterday painting furniture for them. When it's done and when the boys room is clean, I'll get some pictures. I got to spend sometime doing end of school activities. I washed chairs with the Kindergarteners and spent and afternoon at Chase's school running a booth at a carnival. I think I should take my act on the road. I don't think a real carnival would hire me, I'd lose them to much money. It's fun to see those kids win. The biggest event of the week was Kenna's birthday. Just ask her, she'll tell you. She told everyone we saw that day and did she love being the center of attention. We made her a "Barbie Cake" I wanted to be able to give her the doll we put in the cake. It's had to find one the right size, real Barbies are to big. This one was a bit small,
so we have Princess in giant slanted skirt cake, another testament to why I shouldn't make these crazy cakes. Her big present from us (a bike) hadn't come by her birthday, but she was pretty happy with the rest. We gave her the bike today and my mom sent her the helmet. Check out swimming suit number two. Nice knew and elbow pads, huh? She loves to wear these and trust me, she dresses herself. I can't believe my baby is four. She is such a loving kid, all about hugs and kisses. She is great a saying thank you. Lately, she is getting a bit bossy and acquiring an attitude to. She's the queen and she likes it. We'll work on that.

Holy Cow, sounds like you are keeping plenty busy! FOUR kids with growing needs don't have anything to do with it either!! I just have to say you are a great mom!

I LOVE the Barbie Cake! Looks like she had a lovely day helmet and all. I like the new updated look of the blog. The moving around of rooms sounds like a lot of work but should be great in the end. It's always a good idea to get the DI pile going. I should do more of that as well. Your family is certainly growing!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR KENNA, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! Gosh...I can't believe she is 4 either! Looks like she was having loads of fun. Hang in there with the moving around of rooms...it is such work but worth it when it's all done! Have a wonderful, school-less, week!

You are SOOO going to have your work cut out for you when she is a teenager! What a cutie. I did the whole theme cake thing for a number of years. It is alot of work but the kids always love it. I've done a bunch of different ones over the year. Good times. Enjoy this time. It goes so fast!
