Sadie's 6th Birthday

Sadie turned 6 on December 17th!  They are allowed friend birthday parties on their even birthday's so she was VERY excited this year.  The day before her birthday, she woke up with the stomach flu and spent the entire day throwing up.  It was so sad, she was supposed to celebrate her birthday at school that day due to the next day being the Christmas party.  She insisted on getting dressed and that was as far as we got.  She slept most of the day (when she wasn't throwing up) and seemed to be a little better by that night.  The next morning she bounced up and seemed to be better.  We got her all ready, she threw up but insisted on going to school to take her treat and participate in the school sing and party.  We decided she could go and try it.  I was hoping she would do okay because her party was to be that night too.  She made it, she didn't throw up and seemed in good spirits.  When we got home, she laid in my bed all day until it was time for her party.  She was excited, but you could tell that she didn't feel that great.  She wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese for her party and that is what we did.  She had a good time, she would go play a few games and then come back to the table and sit for awhile, then play a few more.  In the end, it was a success and we sure love our Sadester Woo.

She wanted a panda cake

She had been asking for "high heel boots." Luckily these were high enough.

Asher, Asher, Asher....

This is how I found Asher in his bed a few nights ago. He is one of those kids who likes to sleep with EVERYTHING! The items he had chosen for that night were his baby, his mini football helmet, baby Minnie, a puzzle and an American flag. He of course had his "recipe box" full of plugs (for those of you not familiar with that term, that is what we call binkies in our family).  He has to have a plug in his mouth and then usually holds one in each hand with the nipple of the plug between his index and middle finger.  He will then alternate them throughout the night.  Notice how he has obviously done this already as one of his plugs is resting on his chest.  How kids sleep with this much crap is beyond me, but at least he sleeps through the night right?
