Ten years old

E turned ten years old the end of August. It's been a whirlwind of a summer so now that the kids are back in school hopefully I can catch up.   I bought her 10 different presents to open one each hour until dinner. (Simple little things that lead up to and hinted at her favorite, big present). Needless to say she was surprised we actually got her what she wished for and we're still suffering from sticker shock but it ended up being cheaper than throwing a party which we couldn't do this year because of the Parade of Homes and all that that entailed.

The boys were ecstatic when I told them the packing peanuts dissolve in water. Silly boys...  :)
