Not OK

Can my first blog post in almost a month be a link to another blog?  Well, it's my blog so the answer is yes. I couldn't have said it better myself!

Happy Birthday Dear Makeeeennnnnaaaa

Makenna's 6th birthday was Thursday.  And I truly think she had a fantastic day.  First of all, The Nana was here.  (cue harmonious music).  We love love love when The Nana is here.  Makenna woke up around 5:30 to go to the bathroom.  Side note, why must that child come into my room in the middle of the night to announce that she needs to go potty.  I leave a light on.  She takes herself every freaking time during the day without an anouncement.  Why must it be note worthy at 5 am.  Anyway, I walked her back to bed and dragged myself back to sleep.  Safiya woke up around 6:30 and suddenly I was tapped ever so energetically and the first course of "Happy Birthday to me" was sung in my ear.  After that we all went to donuts.  A Foster Family tradition on any birthday.  Another side note.  Our donut shop is run by a very nice couple.  We have yet to decide if they are brother and sister or husband and wife.  When we first brought Safiya home the woman said "I didn't know you were pregnant".  Cue crickets.  After donuts we got ready for the day and picked up Makenna's bestest friend Ireland.  We spent 5 fun filled hours at the boardwalk.  Ate loads and loads of crap food, rode on loads and loads of rides, and watched the Brazilian circus perform.  Um, I also forgot the sunscreen so she earned her first sunburn.  1 in 6 years ain't bad right?  Then we came home and prepared her menu for dinner:  hot dogs, carrots/celery/peppers and dip, chips and dip, crackers and dip (the girl likes her dips), ambrosia, berries, grapes, and macaroni and cheese.  Oh, and the most kick ass cake ever made in my house.  But, um, remember The Nana was here so I can't take all of the credit.  We opened presents and every human in my house crashed early.  Oh, the kick ass cake took until midnight to make.  All in all, a great day.  And I can't believe my oldest baby is 6.  Countdown is 2 weeks until kindergarden.  Oh what a mess I will be.
