Birthdays and Pumpkins and Parties Oh My!

What a whirlwind this month has been!!  We've had something going on every weekend....starting with Wynnie's 5th birthday party! It was at a gymnastics center and she had such a ball!!  Her friends came to celebrate and she couldn't have been any happier. :)  She asked for a Barbie themed party, which I did, but because it was at the gymnastics center I couldn't do as much as I normally would have.  She could have cared less.   As long as their were friends, presents and cake she was good to go!

 

Barbie cake! Thanks Auntie Ade :)

Our next big adventure was Wynn's Pre K Pumpkin Patch field trip!  It was NASTY weather that day but we made the most of it. :)  It was so fun to spend some time with my big girl just us two. :)  The kids were allowed to pick one pumpkin, two ears of Indian corn and three gourds.

 

Ready to pick!!

Last but not least was Wynnie's harvest party at Pre K today!  She has been DYING to be Ariel and was up at 6 am today wanting to put on her costume and wig.  Her wig is KILLING me!!  She wanted Auden to dress up too so I got them both in their costume and off we went.  I was really blessed to be able to volunteer to do a craft for the party so we made Frankensteins from toilet paper rolls (a la Pinterest, lol) so that was really fun!  Daddy as able to be there for her parade too so she was thrilled!  Her teachers dressed as Thing 1 and Thing 2 which was super cute.  The kids did a costume parade around the church and even stopped by to show off their costumes to the seniors.

Happy 5th birthday sweet Wynnie!!

***I started writing this post on her actual birthday, which was Friday, and didn't publish it for some reason***

Happy 5th Birthday to my sweet Wynn Caroline!!  FIVE.  No matter how many times I say it it still doesn't seem real.  You are FIVE YEARS OLD.  This is going to be a big year for you sweet Beanie.  You are going to start kindergarten when you're five, you're going to learn to ride a bike without training wheels, you might even lose your first tooth!  It's all very exciting isn't it?  And it's surreal.  It's crazy to me to think that five years ago today we almost lost you precious girl.  That you were born healthy and screaming and weighing only FIVE pounds!!!  Little birdie.  :)

My sweet Wynn,
You are such a light in my life.  A shining star that never dims.  You are kind, sweet, silly, funny, tenacious, sensitive, and stubborn (like your mama) but still easygoing at the same time.  You are a most amazing blessing to your daddy, Auden and I.  Auden looks at you with such love and admiration and wants to be just like her big sister.  I am SO humbled every day that God chose me to be your mama.  You are truly the greatest gift (along with Auden :)  ).  I love you so much Wynnie Bean!  Happy 5th Birthday Biggie Smalls!!

Love forever and always to infinity and beyond,
Your mama :)
