A Very Mickey Birthday

It's that time of year again. Most people are talking football come September, but in my household we are talking birthday. Maddy is trying to patiently wait for her birthday to get here, but bless her heart it's a bit hard on her. It seems to be everybody's birthday but hers lol. I made a countdown calender for her so she could see when we were really close to her birthday, but it's a bit too plain and boring to her. I know I've mentioned her party in this post, but I've been in full party planning mode. Here are the invitations that are being sent out and the shirt she will be wearing.

I find myself thinking of party things as I attempt to put my house in order. One thing for sure...by September 23 I should have at least a clean living room and kitchen :) Next time I move I will definitely plan for a week off so I can put everything away instead of trying to balance everything while working overtime. I still have quite a lot of work to do to get ready. I need to finalize her slideshow, clean house, order balloons, get the fruit, napkins, plates, eating utensils, drinks, and a card. I only have 17 days to accomplish this. In the words of The Little Engine That Could, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can."

I don't want her to hurry and grow up, but for her sake I'm ready for her birthday to get here so she can have some cake. She associates the word birthday with cake. It's so cute because whoever's birthday it is, I will use my step dad's as an example since his was the last birthday, she will say, "I gon have some of his birfday?" She is really asking if she is going to eat some of the cake. This year Maddy will be 3 and I seriously wonder where the time went. I am so very proud of her and love her more than words can say.

I think it's time I get some sleep lol. Good night :)
