M&M turns 11!

Thursday, July 30
I can't believe that M&M is 11!! Unfortunately with year-round school M&M usually ends up having to celebrate her birthday during the first week of school. And unfortunately this year it was also back-to-school night. We ended up letting her open her presents on her birthday but we celebrated with a family party the next day.
After school on Friday we headed over to my parents' house, picked up my dad and headed over to the pool down the street from their house. This was the first time we have been swimming in a big pool this summer and the kids had a blast! Baby K loved the water and just splashed and splashed the whole time. She was so excited that she would splash with her hands and kick with her legs at the same time - it was almost hard to keep ahold on her. Blondie was also quite funny to watch because she was having so much fun and laughing so much that she couldn't keep her mouth closed and kept getting water in it.



After the pool we went back to my parents' house for dinner and a party. DH met us there after work. M&M is not a big cake fan so she also opted for cupcakes this year.

Sounds like fun, but how can you not be a cake fan and still like cupcakes?

The part she doesn't like is the frosting. So with the cupcakes we tried a chocolate pudding/cool whip mix and frosted the cupcakes with it. It was a little runny at first but once they were refrigerated the "frosting" solidified a little more.

She is just like her father....
