Why board books are a good idea . . .
I found this cute book at Anthropologie, I love(d) it.
I must have skipped the chapter on respecting property when I read it to Ava:

It's true,
All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to MY angel mother.
Happy Birthday Mom!
Spoiled, make it your mission today. And every day.
Feel free to leave her a birthday wish in the comments here.
What's for dessert?
Let's call it:
Create your own waffle cake banana split dessert bar
(Also, don't forget to run and extra mile or two the next day)

Love is . . .
missing someone whenever you're apart,
but somehow feeling warm inside
because you're close in heart.

How to throw a FANCY party:
Step 1: Start with a fancy girl about to turn 6.
Step 3: Hand make an apron for each guest, using the fanciest coordinating
fabrics you can find, use ric rac, ribbon and all sorts of fancy trim and stitching.
Step 4: Gather all your fancy books, candy, ribbon and
balloons and arrange then perfectly for the centerpiece
Step 5: Invite lots of fancy girls and have them make their lunch
(complete with pink, red and purple bread for the sandwiches)
while wearing the fancy aprons you made.
Step 6: Make giant cupcakes with to-die-for buttercream,
add lots of sprinkles, ribbon, diamond rings and butterflies,
all glittery and fancy, of course.
Step 7: Let the girls eat have their cake AND eat it too!
Step 8: You can't have a fancy party without PARFAITS! Step 9: Make sure your name is Dawn or at least have some of her talents,
which include, but are not limited to:
Designer, Pastry Chef, Cake Decorator extraordinaire, Seamstress and party planner

Today's saving
Before coupons and sales: $195.47
I paid: $31.50
for 53 items!
If you aren't shopping with coupons, it is time to start!
Are you ready . . .
for Some Football?
Between flag football, going to BYU games, and fantasy football
my boys are rather preoccupied for the season . . .
I guess I'll go shopping with the girls,
except when James is playing, then I'll be front and
center to cheer him on.
While James is busy being a football hero, his sisters are busy on the playground and feeding horses (the babies try to feed them a single blade of grass)

So it begins. . .
her first, 1st day of preschool.
You see, tomorrow is her second 1st day of preschool.
Don't ask.
I am sorry . . .
this is not scratch and sniff.
I am certain it is what Heaven will smell like,
freshly bathed babies smothered in
Baby Magic all cozy and happy.
