Turning 5

Elizabeth is turning 5 tomorrow and man this poor girl has not had an easy time with it.

We sent out invitations to her classmates.. not one response despite my putting an RSVP deadline. So instead of throwing a party and having no one show up OR not throwing a party and have 8 little girls knocking on the door we have decided to cancel the big party for a trip, just the 4 of us, to this bouncy place in one of the malls here. We will go out to lunch at Red Robin or a like restaurant after then home for cake.

This week there is a lot of activity at school. Since tomorrow is her birthday, I am making cupcakes to share with her class and we are registering her for kindergarten as well. Friday, they are having a friendship party which is what they are calling their Valentine celebrations. I have little cards for her classmates as well as some candy.

Now the problem is, poor Elizabeth is home sick today with a stomach bug. She started throwing up yesterday and again this morning. I hope she is ok by tomorrow because she really really wants to be at school on her birthday with her little friends.
At least if she does feel ill, Chris will be home and we can go get her.
