Sarah's 5th birthday party!












About six weeks ago, Carlton and I decided to have Sarah's 5th birthday party on August 16, not knowing for sure if he'd be here to celebrate with her. We figured if he was still here - great, and if not, it would give the girls and I something to look forward to after his departure. Sure enough, he left the Thursday before her party, but our foresight played out (for once!) and Sarah and I distracted ourselves with excitement and preparations for her Chuck E. Cheese party.

Woo hoo for "rat pizza" (as Carlton calls it)! An hour and a half of pure chaos was worth it since mom didn't have to do an ounce of cleaning or cooking! Sarah had an absoulte wonderful time and was blessed to be joined by so many friends and family. We even called Carlton on the phone and he listened to "happy birthday." Sarah has been enthralled in the world of Barbie and Disney Princess today, thanks to the many nice gifts she received. Yipee for independent play! I'm coming to appreciate that more every day. Happy 5th birthday sweet Sarah - we love you!

Mitchell had a blast, and Noah seemed fascinated by it all. I think we'll borrow "rat pizza," if that's OK!
