Claire's 5th Birthday Party


My first born child is now 5 years old! She will be starting kindergarten this fall, which means she will be gone 4 out of the 7 days of the week for a full half day, which means I won't get to see her as much, which means she is only 1 year away from being gone 4 out of the 7 days of the week for a full day, which means I will only get to see her for about 4 hours a day...and it will only get worse! Once one child enters school then pretty soon the next child will follow...and then the next...and pretty soon I will be all alone at home during the days...then they will all move out of the house one right after the other...then I will be an "empty nester!" Then I will be "old!" (no offense Mom) Where is my life going! How can I make time slow down? I need some medication! My anxiety! I can't take it! AAAHHH!

She didn't do this on her birthday, but very close to her birthday Kate and Claire thought it would be great fun to sleep in the teepee

Claire after Kate opened Rise of the Guardians. Claire loves that movie. I think she might be kind of in love with the Easter Bunny in that movie. I told her that the reason she liked him so much was his Australian accent.

I let Claire color her birthday cake with food markers. Turned out pretty cute!
