mexican resturant


DSC01999, originally uploaded by Our Little One.

i put out chips and salsa for the kids with their dinner. they were so happy that it was like a mexican returant. everything is funner with the mays! halle had to get out a paper pad to take orders and helped me get everyone's plate just how they wanted it and handed them out. halle loves anything pretend!

today is halle's birthday! she is 6. in my head that number means they go from toddler to child. she is defenitly not a toddler anymore. she is so helpful and sweet i couldn't imagine not being able to spend all day with her.
tom didn't have to go to work till 4 today so it worked out perfect that he got to spend the day with us. we got up early and went to IHOP, halle's favorite resturant...i was a little dissappointed about her selection, not my favorite place, but oh well, they got their free balloons, so it made it all worth it. then, in tradition, we went to the pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins. then i saw they were tripple the price of the grocery store and said for them each to pick out a "baby" pumpkin. they were happy to get a little baby and then we went to to the store to get some big mamas. then we took halle to the shoe store where we got her heels last year for xmas to pick out new heels since she grew out of the xmas ones. then we came home and carved the pumpkins, cooked the seeds, made cinnamon rolls and had them for lunch along with the seeds. then we watched annie, one of halle's favorite movies. tom asked if this was what it was like to be a stay home at mom. i said, yeah, its awesome, isn't it? he said yeah. and was really jealous. it was a good day, everyday is pretty good though....then we did an hour of school work till the boys got home form school. then played with them the rest of the day.
halle had a very happy birthday! pictures from her party are coming!

I love this picture, nothing spectacular, just a bowl of chips and salsa, but then through the eyes of children, something so simple and ordinary becomes the Garrett Mexican Restaurant Chip and Salsa Buffet! You're so good at capturing the joys of childhood (and motherhood too!)
