not even sure where to start . . .

i know . . . i know . . . it's been a long time since a real post and believe me. . . i have a lot to post about. so get comfy . . . this might get a little long!

the princess tea party

little shrimp had so much fun! she is still so excited about having a birthday and tells everyone . . . including complete strangers, "i'm tree now, i'm not 2 anymore because i had a birthday!"

shrimp's actual birthday

my poor little girl was sick with the flu for a whole week and felt miserable on her 3rd birthday. she received a package from her nana and pops and asked her big sister to help her open most of it. she didn't even want to open her gifts from us when daddy got home from work . . . if that tells you how horrible she felt! she did manage a little smile when she opened the new set of earrings from nana and pops! (shrimp loves earrings . . . and insists on changing her's daily!)

the make-up birthday

when shrimp started feeling a little better . . . we had a make-up birthday for her. she was so excited when she opened her new pink crocs! little shrimp loves pink . . . pink . . . and more pink (oh and yellow too)!

last day of school

little shrimp missed her last week of school because of the yucky flu! she was feeling better on her last day so she went . . . but she still wasn't back to her spirited self. little miss got out the day after shrimp and her class did a end of the year program that was so cute! there isn't too much that is cuter than a bunch of 3 and 4 year olds trying to sing and dance! the girls' school is great . . . and all of their teachers are fantastic! little miss' teachers are the 2 ladies on the right . . . and the lady on the left is the director of their preschool. shrimp wasn't up for a picture with her teachers.

the plan was to head to st. louis after the program for my niece's 6th birthday party. . . but it was about 8 hours later before we actually got on the road! we did make it in time for the party . . . and the girls' were so excited to see everyone in missouri!

ok . . . i'm ready for bed and i didn't quite get caught up on everything. so i guess that means you will have to wait again for the rest! i promise it won't be as long this time!! if you are lucky . . . let me rephrase that! if i am lucky . . . i will have a few minutes tomorrow and i will post again!
