HaPpY 3rd BiRtHdAy BeLLe!!

My Belle is 3 years old as of November 9, 2011! I was so excited for her birthday. But not as excited as Belle. She has been talking about her birthday since the beginning of October! The morning of her birthday she came down to her party table! She loves Balloons so we had to make sure there was a lot. She picked her breakfast... Lucky Charms and she opened her card form Grandma and Grandpa Jones... She was freaking out that they gave her 3 dollars! What a surprise!!!

Then Thalia came over for the day and we started to get ready for her firend birthday party. They helped me clean the house and vaccum... they just ran around screaming and I cleaned! So we got the house spotless and I made 48 mini cupcakes for Belle's cupcake fondue party! I got everything ready for everyone to come over (in 30 mins) and I told the kids I was going to run upstairs and get dressed real quick and sit and watch a show. I made sure to stuff the 48 cupcakes way back on the counter so no one would get them. I ran upstairs and maybe 3 minutes later Cash comes upstairs with crumbs everywhere on him..... The cupcakes!!! My heart sank I slowly went downstiars..... And there it was cupcakes all over the place. Smashed all in the carpet, all over the kitchen floor, trailed all the way to the couch where Thalia and Belle were chowing down on them! My eyeballs almost popped out of my head. People were coming in 10 minutes and the house was a diaster and the 48 cupcakes turned into 15 mini cupcakes with little bite marks on almost each one. My blood boiled!!!! I looked at them with flames coming out of my ears..."WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU DOING!??!!" I should've not yelled but did! Thalia immediately started bawling! Which then also made Belle bawl! Cash just kept asking "What happened MAMA what Happened!?" As if he didn't know! I was shocked... and said "Well Belle Happy Birthday there is your party... hope it was fun!" She cried harder... Hahaha and I put them both in time out. They were saying sorry over and over.... and I just tried to clean up what I could. Then as I was putting the dishes away I turned on my disposal and SPLAT! it's clogged and water and cupcake crumbs went all over the counters and walls! I almost threw myself into the disposal.... Anyways after I got over MY 3 year old fit... I turned on 50's music decided not to blow my house up and tried to help Belle have a fun birthday instead of a mad mama birthday! Her friends came and we had a lot of fun... Her friends are so nice they were not suppose to bring presents but did and Belle loved them. So thank you all you Moms!! We had cupcakes, decorated them (Belle ate atleast 15... including the ones before the party), they danced, and played in Belle's room... Then it was over!! Maybe when she is older I will last longer than 2 hours!

Then that night we took Belle out to eat... which she picked pancakes! Hahaha Pancakes! So we went to IHOP! She ate her whole pancake, egg, and susage plate and I had a country friend steak and potatoes!! Cash had dairy free french toast and eggs. Monk got eggnog pancakes in honor of the holidays! We had a lot of fun and I was a lot more chill... Belle was so proud that she got to out... We rarely ever do that!

Then we came home and Belle got to open her presents! She opened her bedroom door to a new BIG GIRL bed which I finally gave in a got rid of her crib, a chair and new decorations (I will go into detail on my next post)! I tried so hard on a little budget to make her room cute! I think It turned out good. Belle was so excited she wanted to go to bed right away but she had more presents....

She is so into dress up! So 75% off halloween outfits is the way to go! She got really cute ones and she tried them all on! Cash was not happy he couldn't wear one so I felt bad and put him in one, which was a mistake cause now him and Belle have to wear them all the time!

I am so in love with this little sassy sweetheart! I am the most lucky Mom in the whole wide world to have her! She gives so much flavor to our family! I laugh all the time at her! I put her to bed that night in her Big bed and thought, time is going to fast...She was just a tiny 6 pound baby yesterday and know she is talking about going to school and signing her up to go to dance class. I am going to blink and she is going to be gone. I love her so! Happy Birthday Belles!
