Happy 4th Birthday Lucy!

My Blueberry Boy

Is there anything I love more than a baby with a blueberry face?

Maybe just this baby with a blueberry face!

Lucy's 4th Birthday Party

Miss Lucy Fern doesn't turn 4 until next Tuesday but today we decided to celebrate her big day.

I managed to not make a crazy complicated cake for once but she was very clear that she wanted pink cupcake frosting and chocolate cake.

4 letter candles for a girl that is turning 4!

She was so excited to get presents! When she was done she double checked the table to make sure they were really all opened.

Happy Birthday Lucy. We love you!

Prepping for a Party

Miss Lucy Lu turns 4 next week and her party is tomorrow afternoon. I decided to start the cleaning fest today rather than wait until tomorrow when I will be a scattered frantic mess.

Good thing the birthday girl REALLY likes to help vacuum. And she is pretty good at it too! And since I had people over last weekend it makes it a bit easier to pick up and clean. We just didn't get it that messy this week. Hooray for us!

She is such a huge help to me. First the laundry and now the vacuum. I may be spoiled by a girl that is always ready to roll up her sleeves and clean with me. Wouldn't that be wonderful.

The Great Continent of Dogton

Andrew had a project at school to create a continent with a theme and write a paper about it. I forgot to take photos of it before he carted it off to school so this post is slightly overdue. He did a great job on the project and even got a 4 on it. Excellent work Andrew!

The following is is essay on Dogton. He wrote and typed it in its entirely all by himself.

Dogton

Have you ever heard of a continent named Dogton?  I have! In the beginning God created Dogton in the shape of a puppy. As the years went by the continent grew into a dog.  In 1818, Eric Werner found Dogton at the age of ten. The next thing you need to know is that dogs and only dogs live on Dogton.  You also have to know that every single dog has brown fur and if it doesn’t have brown fur it’s thrown in jail.  However, they play catch and chase and the sort of stuff dogs do for fun.  Even though Dogton started off a great place to live doesn’t mean it was good all through its history.  You see Dogton was not the only continent at that time. The other continent’s name was Beartimore.   Beartimore was not the nicest continent in the world because the bears attacked Dogton.  The bears were so big they scared all the dogs and the dogs would do anything the bears wanted to get them to leave.  However, the bears had a scheme to stay there forever.  The next thing the dogs knew they were slaves. They worked from 1895 to 1935.  In 1936 super Andrew told every single dog to super glue their paws to the ground.  With his amazing breath super Andrew blew all the bears back to Beartimore!  His breath was so strong Dogton fell into the ocean.  Even though it fell I will never forget Dogton and I hope you won’t either. 

He LOVES me

Mr. Reid's sleeping has gone from bad to worse. He has never been a great nighttime snoozer. The past few nights though have been horrid. Reid is up almost every 2 hours all night long. He wants to sleep with me. He is not hungry. I think he is entering into the separation anxiety stage too which is very hard. I just really, really want some sleep! I need to not be quite so loved by my little man.
