2/27 - Happy Birthday Emma!

Friday was the big day for Mz. Emma - 7 years old!
Hope and I went to the mall and picked up a huge chocolate chip cookie with her name on it and brought it to her school for lunch with her class! Talk about being a popular mom, all the kids recognized the box, I guess that is where Emma got the idea herself.

Friday afternoon after school, Emma got home off the bus and I let her open her presents from Grammy... i wish I had the camera at the second she opened the package and saw the "pop and swap" polly pocket doll set! It's what I've always wanted!!!! and a second polly with a kitty ( from Zorro of course )
/
I handed the girls off to dad and went to get Rachel as an added birthday bonus! We met them at Chili's for Emma's birthday dinner.
then back home where she got to open the rest of her cards and present from us.

Saturday was Party Day!
Emma requested a bowling party - so we got to the alley and with 5 girlfriends had cake and pizza and drinks, opened presents and then bowled for an hour. ( saturday - was a frog strangler type of day and the place was packed with people waiting for lanes to open up - who knew? and ahhh, the lovely smell of cigarette smoke // showers were had by all once we got home )
.
bad news of the day - Rachel apparently had "THE STOMACH BUG" that we all had 2 weeks ago - i didn't realise she got up at 5am and then hung out on the couch till we all got up around 7ish ... poor thing, went to the alley and played like a champ with all the girls and was a wonderful big sissy to Emma on her day then claimed the couch for the rest of the weekend. It doesnt matter how old your kids get, when they are sick and when they cry it breaks your heart, and it seems to get worse now that she's older because you just can't give her a kiss and make it better. ( i mean we did and do but... you know, it's not the same - she knows she sick )
/
but all in all - Emma said she had a great day.
Thanks to all who sent cards and calls and presents!

ps. how is she 7 YEARS OLD?
