My Amazing Birthday Party

This year for my birthday, my mom threw me a surprise party. But not just any surprise party, it was a TWILIGHT party! She did such an amazing job decorating, when I walked in I was blown away! She had Twilight posters up on the walls, red, black and white balloons everywhere, candles lit around red roses, red ribbon and red apples. She had the Twilight movie soundtrack playing in the background and even had red punch to drink. It was really beautiful. She invited some of my closest girlfriends (boys just wouldn't understand) and we all had a really fun time. I was so blessed by all the effort she put into it. Thanks Mom! You're the best!!

Mommy Knows Best

Yesterday at the dentist's office, Mikayla was rewarded with pink silly putty.  She was excited and was enjoying her new treasure, but after getting it stuck in her pocket, she knew what the putty was now capable of.  Fast forward to bed time; she calls out to me from her room and asks to sleep with her silly putty.  I tell her no, that that would be a very bad idea.  In the middle of the night, I hear her screaming and run into her room to have her tell me that her hair is stuck.  It's 3:00 am, I'm disoriented and confused and trying to figure out why my 5 year old is hysterical.  After a few seconds I come to realize that she had in fact, taken the silly putty to bed and it has now lodged itself in her hair and pillowcase.  I try to stay calm as I am untangling this mess, but inside I'm yelling "I told you so".  Luckily, I did not have to cut her hair and the silly putty is now in the garbage.
