Mia came out about 40 minutes later, grasping a dino she cut out. She did real well and in 3-4 weeks, we'll get a letter explaining where she falls in the spectrum with the other kids testing. Such pressure, I tell you! Thursday, she had the spaghetti's dinner at her school. Jill went to that while I worked. She got to see some of the art that Mia's been doing, and they had some noodles. Friday, Mia attended an egg hunt at the park with some of her classmates. Friday night, Jill's long time pal Leanne came in and crashed for the weekend. Saturday, they baked Mia's cake and cupcakes, dyed eggs went to the mall, and we did Mia's traditional balloon photo we've been doing since she's been real little.
Sunday was the big day. She couldn't contain her excitement for her 5th birthday AND Easter. A rare double holiday only a kid could enjoy! She woke up early and did a little scavenger hunt for eggs and her basket in the house. Later, her cousins, uncles, aunt and grandparents came to help celebrate the big day. She got royally spoiled with gifts and did an egg hunt outside in the rain with the boys. They had a lot of fun. Her cake turned out amazing. She wanted a Marie-themed cake that would resemble her soft little kitten. Jill and Leanne did an amazing job. It was really nice being off on a Sunday (first Easter off in 12+ years). Sunday night, we tried to do a glow-in-the-dark egg hunt. Mia LOVED it. We spread the eggs all over the lower level of the house with glow sticks in them. Mia's got lots of new clothes and toys to play with. When I came home tonight from work. she had her new microscope out looking at different samples of things. The microscope came with a telescope as well. Looking forward to busting it out in the warm summer nights.
She's currently on Spring Break, and I hope to host this Friends Day event for her and her pals on Wednesday at the nearby park. No presents required. Just a day during their break where they can relax and play with each other. Hopefully the weather holds off. Other then that, I've got lots to try to accomplish. I'm designing the Milwaukee Blues Chelsea chapter banner/flag, I need to start painting the Torrent Tom and try to keep a very crazy 5 year old happy and busy during her break. She already did her homework last week so that's good :) It's crazy she's 5 years old already. Didn't seem that long ago she was up all night not wanting to sleep. That's all for now. Thanks for reading!
