Tomorrow, the girl turns nine.
Tonight, she's having a slumber party. Seven girls are camping out in front of the TV. There's ice cream cake in the freezer, and popcorn planned, and waffles on deck for breakfast. I even conjured up a perfect party favor: each girl gets her own travel sized pillow, with her name stenciled on the case.
Today, she took a mess of rice crispy treats to school. I only told my teacher what I was bringing; I wanted it to be a surprise for my friends.
Last night, the power was only out for an hour, and back on by the time we had the serious work of making the treats and stenciling the pillowcases. (Dinner had to be made in the dark.)
Nine years ago, I had no idea what was in store for us.
Happy birthday, girlie.

Sounds perfect.
All I can think is how much will happen between now and 3 cubed. Like, everything.
It's more exciting than Christmas Eve!

Lucky daughter having a creative, fun mother.

Happy Birthday to both of you!
Did you have any idea it would involve stenciling and rice krispie treats?
I want to be one of her friends 'cause I want in on that fun.
Is there a shot of vodka in the works for Mommy?
Happy Birthday--Those November baby girls kinda rock.
Considering how well the monkey bread thing worked out, I am seriously considering stealing this one as well. Happy birth day to both of you.
