This morning when Lincoln was told that it was Kara's birthday, he marched downstairs to see if the birthday decorations were up. They weren't, so he went back upstairs and informed his mom that it was NOT her birthday. He's a clever kid to look for outside collaborating evidence, but despite its lack, it IS Kara's birthday. (Kara decorates for the children's birthdays, but we don't usually decorate for the adults.)
The older children were asked to give five words that describe their mother:
Bentley:
smart
nice
specific (when she's teaching!)
fast
understanding
Jake:
fabulous
best mom ever
loving
perfect
blessed
Viva:
pretty
happy
cooker
plant lover
birthday girl
Kara had a good birthday with lots of love, family, pizza, cake, and gifts (especially Pandora beads--her new obsession). I wanted to post a photo of her, but she said no. So here's what photos she did approve:
That last photo was hard to get. Lincoln wouldn't share a chair with Bentley. We had to drag a second chair over. Then Jake wanted a chair of his own. Then Evan started pinching off pieces of the birthday cakes and that was making his siblings angry. This is candid shot of Kara's chaotic life. It is a good life. Happy Birthday! Let the party continue...
