Happy 4th! Etc.

(late, I know)

Here's a preview of our weekend.

Do you see what I see?

A Peaches 'n Cream Barbie circa 1985???? Yes, that's right, my favorite Barbie from way-back-when has been reproduced. The feet are a little shorter than I remember, but it really brought me back. I have spent hours Hallie has spent hours playing with her.

I love that my favorite Barbie when I was four is now her favorite Barbie when she is almost four. Circle of life.

This weekend is Hallie's birthday party. In just a few short days my baby will be four years old. It just doesn't seem right. I want to freeze her at this stage and let her be almost-four forever.

We have a family party planned that is going to rock her socks off - think bounce house (thanks, Abbie!), swimming pool and heavily sprinkled cupcakes. Those who are missing it (Nell. Liz), you're gonna miss out!

I have mapped out my week of cleaning + party prep. It's going to be awesome.
