Lauryn had her birthday last weekend. I really can't believe we have a three year old! She was pretty excited about this special day and has talked about it at least once a week since her birthday last year. Paul and I were yard sale champs this summer and found her a kitchen and a table and chair. The kitchen came with a box of dishes and some food and only cost $5. The table wasn't so pretty, but only cost $.25. After some sanding, a few coats of spray paint and a little mod podge it was back in good shape.
On the morning of Lauryn's birthday she and Paul went to a dinosaur museum while Annie and I went to a church thing I had to go to. Then we rented a movie and watched it together. For dinner we went to Chuck E. Cheese and then came home for her Ariel cake and ice cream. All together, a pretty great day for our favorite 3 year old.

My mom made her this little apron to go with her kitchen, she calls it her kitchen dress.

She went back and forth on whether she wanted a Nemo or a Cars cake and then decided Ariel at the last minute. I decided that Nemo could make a guest appearance, though.
