Cake time

Since we basically did cupcakes for Erin's birthday cake, we just gave her one instead of a whole smash cake. She was very tentative with it, probably because we'd taken her out of her dress. She may have gone crazy with it if we'd left her dressed.

Am I supposed to eat this stuff?
That's not so bad!


The aftermath.

Erin's birthday party

Erin has always been afraid of her duck tub, but we finally got some practical use out of it as a beverage cooler.


Erin enjoyed ripping the paper table cloth.



Her favorite part of the party was the presents.
She's very excited about her hat
Until we tried to put it on her.The ball made her much happier.
The ribbon was by far the best, though.

Shall we try that hat again?

No, Jane, I won't share with you.

What's that one, Mom?
Oooh, a fridge farm!Let's try the sunglasses.
No, I don't want to wear them, don't make me!!!

Let's play with the fridge farm some more.

Yay!!! Presents rock!
I'm not cleaning up this mess!!!

Erin's first carnival

We took Erin's to Todd's school for their carnival. They actually had games she could sort of play and she won all kinds of prizes.

She was fascinated by the different colors on the lollipop tree.



She didn't want to pick a duck, she just wanted to watch them float.

And then we got her a balloon hat, which lasted on her head about as long as any other hat (3.2 seconds).

I've been a bad Mom

It's been a very, very long time since I've updated Erin's blog, and I have a lot to update! Work has been very busy, and I'm going to do my best to get everything up to date this week!
