i said ice cream

harper asked if she could have a cookie. she said please and was very polite. i told her that she needed to finish up some of her dinner before dessert. she said ok and proceeded to eat more peas and blueberries. about 10 mins after she gobbled down the thin mint, she looked over at me and said, "oh i said ice cream, not cookie." i couldn't believe what was happening. my daughter was trying to trick me over dessert! more like a con if you ask me. she repeated it again and said that she said ice cream. i told her that she definitely did not ask for ice cream and asked for a cookie and ATE it! pretty much told her that what she was trying to do was not cool. she gave me a certain look and smile. she knew exactly what she asked for. she didn't cry or even argue and went about playing.

that girl! she is one sneaky 3 and 1/2 year old.

our tiny human is 3

we really can't believe it. she is actually 3. she is so much fun right now. very loving, caring, fun and just down right funny. she makes us laugh everyday. h is such a great kid. we had another bday party for her and the adults outnumbered the kids again. we feel a little guilty but i think she still had fun. there were 3 kids there this year, so it was a little better. no surprise that frozen was the theme with balloons and a elsa chocolate cake. even though it was 100 degrees outside (literally), the kids had fun on the playground and the adults enjoyed the watermelon, tequila cocktails. i think she was really excited to meet elsa at the toystore. we were prepared this time and ended up being 6th in line. h had no idea about meeting her. her mouth was wide open when we walked up to take a picture with her. it was a sweet moment. so glad everyone could make it to her party and join us for our traditional breakfast at cherrywood cafe sunday morning.

one of her teachers volunteered to make cupcakes for the kids today at school. she will have them for snack this afternoon. we let her wear her elsa dress up clothes that jan bought her for her bday. gave her a bday surprise and we all got pedicures. she choose blue polish to match her elsa dress.

it was a fun week celebrating her 3rd bday.
