She's Four and She's Alive!!

Rose celebrated her fourth birthday a few weeks back.  Frankly, I'm amazed she made it.  This girl has been trying to kill herself since she could walk (I'm not talking suicide here people - just crazy baby antics).  She must have her own personal team of angels working around the clock.  But here she is, in all her 4-year-old glory: 

And if you know Rose, you understand this face.
Rose wanted a Doodle Bear for her birthday, which I found out AFTER I had already bought something else.  So I ended up returning her original gift, and we went out and bought this one on her birthday.  In this picture, Rose is pretending to be a Doodle Bear.  BYW, her bear's name came with the name "Rose".  Perfect.

Blowing out the candles after our root bear and pizza party.  We're cupcake people around here; and if you have seen any of my cakes, you know why.

Rose's birthday fell on Monday this year, so we had to do a family outing another day.  So the following Saturday, we went to the Butterfly House, which is right around the corner from our house.  We've been there a couple of times this past year, so while the kids liked it - it wasn't anything super new to them.

As much as I hate roaches, this exhibit really fascinates me.  It's just so gross; the pumpkins with roaches coming out the eyes and mouth was a nice touch.



Don't they look excited to be there?! 

"I'm wonderful. I'm perfect!" - Rose

Thank you for those wonderful pictures of Rose, it brightened my day to see her enthusiastic smile and read her delightful quote. I hope that she can feel that way about herself forever. Something sad seems to happen to our self esteem as we grow up --oh to be 4 again and feel like you are wonderful and perfect.
