A week in review and special visitors

Another week down.....man where does the time go??  I can't believe it is almost May:)  Our weather has continued to be amazing.  We experienced our first trip to urgent care and first round of antibiotics......yes Hayden had strep and an ear infection.  10 days of antibiotics and I kept thinking "I wonder if an illness can actually change your personality"??  Well I have now been schooled that it was the antibiotics.  Hayden was a hot atlanta mess and all I can say is I am SO relieved that she is basically back to her old happy self.  This pre-school thing is not for the weak, man we are making up for lost time on the illness front.  Hopefully this means when she starts kindergarten she will have all the immunities she needs and hopefully will never be sick.  2 times in 3 weeks.....cooked and done is what this mama is:)

We went to a very fun and girly tea party.  Hayden did great for it being something new and we didn't know a soul there....she was very brave and sat right down, let them put make-up on her and she enjoyed her raspberry tea and cupcake(well the icing that is) and lucky enough there was another little girl at our table that is celiac and so her mom had brought her gluten free cupcakes and so kindly offered one up to me:)    We had a wonderful time together at the tea party and hope it is the first of many.

Ahhhhh make-up just the thing I needed to get this party started:)

Then we had visitors come all the way from Missouri to visit.  These are very special people to me and have been a part of my life since jr.high and continue to be very special to our whole family.  We don't get to see them often, but that does not stop them from spoiling a certain little girl.  We were excited to see them and were sorry it was such a SHORT visit. We packed a lot in 36 hours:)  But don't think that a certain little girl didn't get her fill of surprises.  She woke from her nap to say...."now what do I get to open"??  LOL   

Here daddy this is for you:)

We went to Art in the Square and there were dogs galore....Hayden petted every single one that she was allowed to pet.  She is so great now about asking the owners if she can pet their dog and what their dog's name is!
