Katie Birthday

Well we had playgroup at my house on tues so i decieded that i should have a mini party with the kids for Katie. We did a little craft that of course that was way over their heads! Then we decorated cookies and got them all sugered up!

Katie was so Happy that everyone was coming over to her party!
She was making the funniest face when we went over to have cake and sing. Like she could'nt hold in all the excitment.

She loves her new piggy bank. Ben and Katie have been saving pennies for a long time. We had some free piggy banks that broke long ago so the change has been sitting in ziplock bags waiting for them to get new ones.

So we told the kids we had a surprize after the party. I had a gift card left over from Christmas to the mall and the kids have always wanted to go to Build A Bear. They were so mad when we pulled into the mall parking lot. Ben was sure that their was nothing close to a surprise in the mall. It was too funny.
Katie chose a bear at first,then a monkey, then a dog. But we convinced her that the dog was not good enough for her.(because it was so expensive) It is so cute everytime she gets sad she cries for "poody". That is Ben's monkey and he usually lets her have it. It really touches me since its his favorite thing to comfort him. So i thought it would be a good idea that she have her own now.


Wow we will never go to that place again it was so expensive i never imagined that it was so much but the kids had a blast thank goodmess i had a gift card. Ben was so funny later he told Katie that it was scary that her monkey had really long arms and had velcrow(sp). So i jumped in and said"No Ben, it's easier for the monkey too hold her". So then he looked at Katie and said" He had long arms so he can fold his arms and pray" Way to cute. I can't believe that another year has passed it really makes me sad. I always thought when i heard people say it that it was overreacting but now i am saying it. Anyways i am so glad and thanksful that i have two beautiful healthy kids.
