Soccer

Mallory started school and is on the soccer team. Brian doesn't really think it counts because they only play against the other team at their school and they don't even keep score. One night he was telling her that when she's playing and the other team has the ball sometimes you have to push your way in there and get it back. She informed him that it's not nice to push and you don't put your hands on people at school! Too bad that never applies to her brother.

Poor Michael whines everyday when we drop her off that he misses her and doesn't want her to go, but then he never wants to go pick her up!

Happy Birthday Mallory! (And more)

Sunday we celebrated Mallory's 4th birthday! It's hard to believe that she's that old since I myself haven't aged a bit! She wanted an Ariel themed birthday and I made the mistake of letting her look at decorations online with me. She discovered the Ariel cake, which I decided to take on. It ended up being the most expensive birthday cake we've had in this house, considering that at 9pm on Saturday night I broke my mixer while making the buttercream frosting! But I made it through and it didn't turn out that bad. I was a little proud of myself!
She got a new "big kid" bike and lots of games which she was really excited about! She had a great time!
