Or at least, our Goose is.
Initially she thought she might like small party at home with friends, but choose Mama bringing cupcakes and party hats to school instead. It was a beautiful fall day so we partied on the playground.
Under the bright blue sky & colorful maple trees. The school is downtown in the old industrial, now 'arts' district, but has managed to create some lovely outdoor spaces.
After school Goose and I went out for coffee, chocolate milk and girl talk (politics and religion mostly - she's all for Barack of O-mama getting to be President again and all against saying the Pledge of Allegiance), while waiting for Noodle to finish her running practice.
Later, it was egg-drop soup and being carried about by big sister - both at the insistence of THE birthday girl.
Then home for (this round, the third!) present time!!
Including a new "mote" control car/mess with the kitty toy.
And cake. With 6 candles.
Happy happy birthday to our lovely Goose.
