First Day of School
So, Sadie started kindergarten this year at Wonderland Charter School (please don't judge it by website because the site is awful). She was pretty excited and she looked super cute. She picked her own outfit for her first day of school, I thought she did a pretty good job. I think the first day was a reality check for her though. I had to have my neighbor pick her up from school because our car was getting fixed and Sadie was pretty grumpy. She said, "All those poor people who have to go to school." Mary asked why they are poor and Sadie responded, "They have to work ALL day and I do too!" It took a couple of weeks, but now at the end of the day she says her days are great and wonders why they are so short. On Friday she told me that it felt like a short day for her but it wasn't short for the teachers. . . I wonder how the kids acted that day. Sadie is adjusting well, but the family isn't adjusting quite so well to the early mornings!
It was the first time I ever used fondant and it was a little more difficult than I thought it would be, but it was a success. Sadie loved it and Dallin couldn't keep his hands off it! She had a very happy birthday! We all enjoyed it.
Having it was kind of bittersweet for me. She now spends more time with other people than with me. She is growing up. I love hearing her talk about school and see how much she is learning every day. I do miss her though ( it didn't expect that as much.) There's more happening in our lives, but I'll fill you in later.
Sadie's 5th Birthday
Sadie enjoyed her first slumber party for her birthday. It was a great slumber party, we made individual pizzas and made a fruit pizza for dessert. We waited until Sunday (her actual birthday) to have cake and family presents. I must say that I enjoyed having the kids over and I am eternally grateful to my friend Mary who helped me with the party. I'm also proud of my cake.

what a pretty cake. you have so many great skills, Carrie. I think you are one of those people who can just do anything you set your mind to.
What a beautiful cake! And,I still get a kick out of that quote of Sadie's. I also loved your preface, isn't the point that you haven't been blogging BECAUSE you've been such a busy parent? I also thought it was interesting that I miss Eowyn more than I thought I would. I'm so happy that Sadie is loving things now.
Carrie, I'm so impressed with the cake! Seriously awesome. Sadie looks so cute for her 1st day pic.
