Today marks the day of me becoming a new person five years ago.  The day my sweet little creature was born.  I can hardly believe I’ve only know her for five years and yet it doesn’t seem that long at all. This past weekend was full of fun time and friends, for us.  Lilie Jo had a campout sleep over Friday night.  I created this invitation design for Lil to pass out to her friends.  I wanted something cute, not overly girly, but consistant with the party “theme.”

My little social butterfly had some lady friends over for cupcakes, hide and seek, smores and an outdoor viewing of The Lorax.  Billy borrowed some equipment to set up an outdoor theater.  We hung a sheet on the side of the house and the girls loved it.

We had no problems with missing Mamas or wanting to go home, at all.  I made white chocolate chip muffins for breakfast before finishing up more cupcakes for party number two.

Yes, number two.  Apparently people like this girl? We headed north, to our home town, where we had a small get together at the park with family.

Yes, she really let Mama have it with all this kindergarten and turning five stuff.  Within a week, I had to send her off to the first day of school and watch her turn five.  Apparently the universe is trying to make sure I know how fast she’s growing up.  I get it, already!! Sheesh!

Can any of you other mamas share a similar story from your experience in motherhood?
