eight is great

my baby girl turned 8 on Sunday. she wanted to have some friends over. she planned the whole thing. we made some continuous line art (the idea we got from a friend who got it from this colorful & creative blog) & had cake. short and sweet. then we had the family over. it was a full day of celebration. she was so lit up all day, belly laughing and running around. it is great to be eight.

                       

      

my boy

i  so enjoy my conversations and time with this guy. i find his mind so fascinating, the things he thinks and talks about. so different than the girls at this age. we were driving home from preschool today and he said he couldn't wait to grow up so he can drive a car. I asked what kind of car he would get. he answered, " an electric car. a red one."

so matter of fact. I asked why an electric car? he said so he wouldn't have to stop and get gas so much & he could just charge it in his garage.
