Birthday muffins

One follow up to Lizzie's birthday. At school there is a birthday celebration, and children bring in muffins or cupcakes to share with the class. Lizzie brought in more pumpkin muffins. On the way home from school, I asked here about the birthday celebration and the muffins. She said they "tasted like fart." When I asked her if that was a good thing she said, "Yessss, I ate it."

Finally 4

Lizzie has finally turned 4. Seems way overdue, all her friends from school have been 4 for a while. We celebrated with Irene, Ronan & Sarai, Alma & Axel, Liam & Ruthie, Emma & Abby, Olivia & Maddie. Lizzie liked the idea of a cooking party, so we did the following. Phase 1: kids decorate aprons and chefs hats with markers and fabric markers. Phase 2: kids decorate pre-baked pizza crusts with toppings of their choice, cook the pizzas, and then eat their pizzas. Phase 3: kids decorate cupcakes, and eat the cupcakes. Lizzie chose pumpkin muffins, no loud singing and no candles because she might get shy. The party seemed to be a great success. There were no tears, no fights, and everyone had a great time with the activities. Yay!
