preparing the castle

kalia's birthday celebration on thursday at school
Maya gets a cupcake
She didn't know what to do at first and just sat there.
When we arrived Maya was so excited to see
Kalia that she ran over shouting "lia, lia, lia, lia"
and gave her the biggest hug! So cute.
Our school cupcakes made the night before
pink cupcakes & pink sprinkles. Kalia did the sprinkles.

Ok, sorry it's been a while, but it's been seriously
Santa's workshop here - I've been non-stop.
Here's a little bit of what i've been working on
for the princess party.
Princess totes and ribbon wands.

I found the instructions here and fell in love.

Painting a tower. My husband loves me,
working with almost no days off, 11 hour shift
and home to paint a princess castle. He really puts up with
the crazy around here!
Painted castles - now to decorate them.

Kalia's party to come soon! We had such an amazing day!

I cannot believe my baby is 4! But then when I look at last year's birthday compared to now - it's a whole years worth of change. Kalia invited her own friends to her party this year and was so excited as each "princess" arrived!

Maya is talking so much - I know I always say that, but now it's stringing some words. "I got it" (when going to get a ball), she tells us "again" when she wants to be thrown in the air or swung of airplaned, etc. The other day she went to the fridge and told me "I see" (she wanted to see something in there). We were looking at the at from Aloha to Zippy's ABC book and she named and pointed to: apple, banana, ball, baby, bike, dog, frog, cat. I think there's more, but can't remember right now. I ask her "what's your name" and she "mama" (she usually calls me mommy, so I think she's trying to say maya - she says it every time I ask her). She loves Ariel right now and say her name when she sees her and will fight Kalia for anything Ariel. "Watch Out" - something she got from Kalia. others: chalk, all done, up, shoes. She's been giving high five and then says "all right!" - learned that from daddy.
