Happy Birthday Noah!

We had Noah's 2nd Birthday Party at Andy Alligator's Fun Park. 

He had a Sesame Street cake.  It came from our favorite bakery and was delicious as usual!


I also made some confetti push up pops as party favors.  Everyone seemed to think my push up pops were better than the bakery cake.  I made homemade buttercream frosting.




The kids had pizza and cake and then they went and played on all the games.





Noah was just so excited and running back and forth between all the games and his friends.



But after the party he was so so tired.  He didn't like me trying to talk to him in the car.  Poor sleepy guy!

2nd Grade

Emily started 2nd grade today. I took this picture before we left for school. Isn't she pretty???




Her shirt says Smarty Pants. Yes, she is.

Before we got very far down the road, it started sprinkling. Emily saw a rainbow in the sky. She saw it first - its very important to be first on certain things and this is one of them.  I told her that it was probably a sign that she was going to have a good year in 2nd grade at this school.  But she's too smart for me. She said it was probably just God's sign that He'll never flood the earth again.  Of course she's right.

By the time we got to the school, it was pouring down rain!  Luckily, I had a small umbrella in my car but we were still soaking wet by the time we got to the school building. When I got back home, I had to change my clothes. 

When I picked Emily up from school, she said she had a good day.  Some of her friends are in different classes this year, but she still gets to see them during the school day.

I think 2nd grade is going to be a good year!
