Ireland Turns 6

So I just realized that I didn't post anything about Ireland turning 6. But in my own defense last Friday was crazy for me. I woke up to run and make bagels with cream cheese and strawberries. She also wanted hot chocolate and whip cream. I took her breakfast up to her room quickly. I didn't want her to wake up before I had a chance to give her breakfast in bed (she is a morning person and wakes up before my alarm even goes off some mornings). She was so happy! She said she has always wanted breakfast in bed.
After getting her and Broc off to school I had a bunch of birthday party shopping to go. I needed little aprons for her chef party. I went to Micheal's but they only had 5child size aprons so I had to go to Johann's too. I then stopped off at Target to get treats for Ireland's treat bags I had made for her school class. The awesome thing (and huge time saver) was Target had little Chef Hats and whisks. I was going to make the Chef Hats but was quickly running out of time. So I was very excited to see the hats.
After Target I went to Ireland's class and helped her pass out all her treat bags. She was so excited to see me. Earlier in the week she had told me that I needed to bring her something to her class for her birthday. Another little girl in her class had done that when it was her birthday.
Now being the mother of the year I am, I had totally forgotten to get/make a cake for her birthday party. I realized this about the time Ireland walks in the door from school and says, "Hey Mom what kind of cake am I going to have?" So we all jumped into the car and drove to the Food Lion down the street. We get home just in time to clean the house and set up the party.
For her party we were making little pizzas on English muffin toast (just like my mom did for one of my parties when I was little). Our Little Chefs got to put whatever they wanted on their pizzas. They also got to make cookies and place whatever size they wanted on the cookie sheet (that was fun!). All in all it was a fun party. I think the kids had a great time.
ABOUT IRELAND
Now Ireland is my free spirit. There isn't much that can bring her down. She loves to paint, color, trace, and pretty much anything that has to do with art. She likes her dance class and is very talented. I think it comes very easily to her. She always has a smile on her face. She's also my lovable little girl. I really love seeing the world through her eyes. Oh and did I mention she loves horses.
