The big 5!

She's so spunky, and she has been since day one. I can't believe she's five years old today.

Paige

Favorite food: "Chicken with Rice Dip" (Chicken ala King)

Favorite Color: PINK!

Favorite movie right now: Barbie Rapunzel

Favorite place to go: Water and Ice - for Cotton Candy ice cream

Famous phrase: "Mom, you're the best Mommy in the world!" (said every night at the dinner table with a hug and kiss. . . this girl loves good food!)

Best at: singing in her "pretty voice" (still trying to capture that on video!)

and making our family laugh!

Still keeps a blankie

So great at school

an awesome big Sissie

We love you Paige! Happy Birthday!

Dr. Theobald, I think there is something in my eye.

(I'm not sure how she got it on there, but she sat just like this for 5 minutes or more while Tyler cracked up and demanded that I take more pictures.)

It's the big day

Did you? I thought, maybe next time I'll mail in my vote, but it's just not the same. There is something about actively going to the polls that makes me feel the excitement of the day!

a mummy . . and a mermaid

Here they are! The ward trunk-or-treat is tonight!

Rapunzel

She's wanted to be Ariel in the Pink dress for months. Just the other day she decides she wants to be Rapunzel. . . hooray! I have a pattern for that I say. Little do I know this is no COSTUME pattern, even though it says so on the front. No, this could be worn to Prom if needs be. I start cutting it out and lo and behold, it calls for a facing. Then, as I read on, it calls for a zipper. . WHAT!? This is a COSTUME people. Someone needs to write butterick a letter (right MOM!) Anyway, it turned out cute despite the fretting. And the wig. . . $5.50 at Walmart! Yeah, go Walmart! (I rarely cheer for such retail monster that is consuming the world, but today I'll give them the high five they deserve. . . for wigs, that is.)

Now we need to discuss these princess hands that Paige has going on here. A little disturbing, but points to the fact that she could someday be employed by Disney at a theme park. OK, I'll let her make princess hands, just as long as they don't show up in her wedding photos later on.

One costume down, two to go. I'll post them as I finish them. I'm such a procrastinator.
