C's Party

I pulled my camera out at her party and took like 3 pictures then it died!!! So, my friend Jenna had her camera and took some pictures. These will have to do for a while. Another friend made Claire a cupcake Cake! It was so awesome... She is so talented. Made the one from last yr too. We had a great time at a local park with friends and pizza! I know we are late this yr but Claire didn't mind.

Mine is in the middle

My good friend jenni walked Meredith. Stephanie and I through the amy
butler swing bag pattern. It was so much fun. We didn't finish till
almost midnight last night but it was worth it. Thanks jenni for
hanging with us!!!!!

I've got the bug again

Flowertown Festival

We went to the Flowertown Festival here last weekend. It is basically an enormous crafty type thing. They have a carnival for the kids and Claire had fun with the rides and stuff.

It all started with the train. We were only going to ride the train. It was sooo about to rain and we were parked pretty far. Parents couldn't ride so she had to sit all by herself. She was fine the first time around, second time around the pout face started, third time around the bottom lip started quivering and she very nicely said, "But, Mommy, I wanted to be the driver." Then the tears began and turned into sobs and wails about how she wanted to be the driver. At that point I promptly gave in and went and bought more tickets so when the ride was over she could ride again and be the driver. She was so pitiful, I couldn't handle it. But Daddy (who gives in 99 % of the time) wouldn't let her ride again. So he took her on some spinning strawberries (which she LOVED) and the swings. I was trying to keep up while holding Jacob...

She also went on these super scary swings that I didn't even know they were on until the thing started! Then to make the story even better when they got off Nate noticed that she didn't even met the height requirement!!!! She absolutely LOVED them though and giggled and smiled the whole time.

When we got back in the car she cried all the way home because she wanted to be the driver, and the boys were the driver and no girls were allowed to be the driver, but she REALLY wanted to be the driver...It was pretty sad. Maybe next yr she can be the driver :)

Fun at the mall

Claire & the dentist

She did soooooo good!!!!! Last yr when we went, I had to practically
hold her down and this time she was such a brave girl.
