Well, Grace turned 4 today. Can't hardly believe it. She had her party this past Saturday (some pictures below) that turned out great despite the 50% chance of rain. It was a Spring Garden theme party - flowers and bugs and stuff. I had the kids all plant a flower in a pot I'd decorated as both an activity and a "goody bag" prize - that event went MUCH faster than I'd planned. Thank goodness all the parents were there to help as the frenzied garden shovels hit the potting soil. But Grace had a good time and loved having a bunch of school friends over that had never been to her house before (and of course loved having her other friends there too).
Today was much more low key. We made a Sara Lee coffee cake for breakfast in honor of her actual birthday. We were housebound because the car was in the shop, but Grace got to practice riding her new two-wheel bike a bit while Alex was napping. Since it was her birthday I told her she got to pick what we had for dinner. She chose sandwiches - specifically PB&J for her - and chocolate pudding for dessert. Not homemade chocolate pudding. Jello chocolate pudding. Easy meal for me to make - just whip together a sandwich, put some Cheetos on the plate, and finish by pulling back a little foil top.
She's a wonderful little girl. We are so happy she's in our life!

Cole was looking at these pictures with me and asked who it was- I told him it was his cousin Gracie and he said, "I want him to come to my house" (he calls everyone him)I told him that we would see her next month and he said, "I want to see him, I love him"
