Grins, Giggles & Chaos!

Slumber parties are the BESTest! ;) 

a few weekends ago, we celebrated Landry's 4th {YES, 4th!} birthday at Build A Bear. Since we are moving, we decided to have her party a little early. {like a month early, but who cares!}  I would've have never thought to have a party at Build A Bear, but let me tell you - It was GREAT! The kids loved it. I loved it. It was so fun. The girl who was the party leader did an amazing job with the kids. If you are ever looking for a party location, check out Build A Bear. You won't be disappointed.

I first read this in the Huffington Post. LOVED it . Since Mother's Day is this weekend, I thought I'd share.  I know us mother's can relate.  Dear Mom, I've seen you around. I've seen you screaming at your kids in public, I've seen you ignoring them at the playground, I've seen you unshowered and wearing last night's pajama pants at preschool drop-off. I've seen you begging your children, bribing them, threatening them. I've seen you shouting back and forth with your husband, with your mom, with the police officer at the crosswalk. I've seen you running around with your kids, getting dirty and occasionally swearing audibly when you bang a knee. I've seen you sharing a milkshake with a manic 4-year-old. I've seen you wiping your kids' boogers with your bare palm, and then smearing them on the back of your jeans. I've seen you carry your toddler flopped over the crook of your arm while chasing a runaway ball. I...

Today was the last day of KDO for Landry. I cannot believe another school year is over. I think she's grown so much in the last year. So proud of my little priss. 

A few weekends ago, we headed to Little Rock for our last dance competition of the season. AND Rylee's last time to compete with BAKstage Dance Co. The last hurrah will be the spring show, and after that, we will be leaving NWA. Rylee is sad, but she will be leaving with some great friends she's made the last 4 years, and I know we'll keep in touch.  ALL of the girls/boys did a fantastic job! WAY to go BAKstage Dance Company. I am SUPER proud of Rylee. She's done so well this year, and I know she'll fit into her new studio in San Antonio.
