My baby is 7

Today marks the day that I became a mother. Diva was born at 7:32 am on Oct. 06, 2001. I cannot believe that she is 7. She is a total drama queen, who loves everything about Hannah Montana, High School Musical, math, designing clothing, her little sisters, and hates her school uniform, when her sisters get into her stuff, and chores.

We had a cheerleader birthday party for her. Family friends, who are cheerleaders at a local high school, came and taught the girls some cheers and cheer jumps. The girls all had a blast and I did not have to come up with games. It was a great party for everyone!

Here is the cake that I made. It turned out all right. - Oh, and for the unenlightened, EHS stands for East High School, the school in the High School Musical trilogy.

Mothering on Modays (of Friday)

Ok, so it is not Monday. But with 2 year old twins, something planned for Monday often gets done Friday nite.

Despite an early wake up call, compliments of the earthquake, today was wonderful in our crazy household. Today was "Dad's" birthday. All of the girls worked together this morning to make him feel special. They sang happy birthday at least 5 times, snuggled him awake, assisted in making cupcakes, and were on their best behavior. I just love watching the girls all interact with their Daddy.




Another thing that I love about being a Mom - realizing that even though the girls look like their daddy, Diva and Curly have many of my traits. I just wish they had inherited my good traits! I am reading Raising Your Spirited Child and as I discovered the girls traits in it, I realized that I had more of the spirited traits than they do. At least I can relate!
