Savannah is 12!

By

 You know what's great about fall? Birthdays! There is a special concentration of birthdays from late September through Halloween. Not just in our own family, but in Savvy's friend group too. Last year, there were so many birthday parties, multiple events for 5 weeks straight (this is not hyperbole, it is fact!) nd we told her there would be no individual party. We knew her birthday would be on a Saturday this year, so we planned extra early and told all her friends an their parents two months in advance to save the date! 

Savannah got to have a yes weekend and we did whatever she requested (within reason). Friday night we watched movies at home. Saturday morning she played soccer- Go Wildcats! Saturday afternoon she had a bowling party. She told her friends she didn't need gifts and would appreciate if they brought something to donate to the animal shelter. Her friends did both- lol. So much for following directions! Ha! 

I made a box cake for the party and bought an ice cream cake for just her. That way she wouldn't blow hot air all over the cake everyone else was going to eat. Does anyone else find that tradition weird, or just me? Like, you can have your own little cupcake or something and spit all over that and leave the rest of the cake alone...I'm just sayin...

We had pizza at home for dinner and then Sunday she wanted to sleep!

Cassidy loves to dance. So far, any type of music gets her going! In this video we were cleaning the kitchen when she decided to break out. When she saw the camera she started saying cheese because she thought it was a real camera. I hope you can see it!

After you clean your room...

This evening Cassidy revealed to me a small secret to keeping her occupied. After dinner she asked me if she could watch a show. We don't have tv, but we do have netflix through the wii on our tv and we watch all the greatness that PBS and Nickelodian have to offer! Except for Caillou because I think he's kind of whiny. Anyway, she gets to watch limited amounts of Diego, Dora, Dinosaur Train, Super Why, Word World, etc and sometimes we throw in some Cosby Show for good measure. She'll pick two shows and watch one, 20 minute episode of each and then we call it good. Well tonight when she asked for a show, I told her she could watch one episode of her favorite after she cleaned her room. She went into her room and as she started putting toys away, she started playing with them. She'd go to put books away and start "reading" them. Twenty minutes later she'd start putting crayons away, then start drawing with them. Ten minutes later she'd start putting awa...

Dear Cassidy and future Baby Smith

Dear Cassidy and future Baby Smith, I am sure that bloggers across the world are firing away about a news piece gone viral today. http://gma.yahoo.com/k-e-diet-brides-using-feeding-tubes-rapidly-080053646--abc-news-health.html In case this link is non-existent by the time you read this, long story short, people are using feeding tubes for rapid weight loss in a short amount of time. This is your mother talking. If for some reason this ridiculous trend is still around when you grow up, and you think about doing this to your self, please know that I will spank you and put you in timeout. You do not diet to fit into a dress, or suit. You pick an outfit that highlights your best attributes and get it tailored to fit your body, not the other way around. No matter what size you are, as long as your are healthy, not putting toxins into your body, and exercising, whatever size you are is beautiful and perfect in God's eyes because God does not make mistakes. There is a flattering de...
