Melanie is in her last year as one digit! As usual, she wanted to decorate her cake-she helped me make it too, and good thing too, or I might have missed the dry ingredients and left them on the counter! "It looks weird Mom, I think we need more flour. It's too soupy."
Evelyn was very interested in the cake too, or the candy on top at least!
Melanie is really growing up. When she wants to (we aren't always what we should be!) she is a great help, and especially has a heart for "mothering" little girls. Visitor girls we've had lately have been watched and cared for by her...but diapers...that's too much to ask from Melanie. ;) She can also be a hard worker, and good company. :)
My camera decided to act up on Melanie's big day, so I will have to put up lots of "opening" pictures, but none of our outing to the Science Center. We did have a good outing-better yet because Daddy joined in, and it's his forte!
Melanie's gift matched the outing, which we will repeat on account of
getting a membership. Once you've gone twice, it's cheaper to just get
it, so we'll try maximize it.
Just like last year, Jennifer was a bit of nuisance during this time. I
guess it's hard if you've only just had your birthday, to let your big
sister get all the attention!
The kids really got a kick out of Daddy's story of using the "burglar buzzer" and having a guest set it off late at night.
