Happy Birthday Bug

My daughter turned 11 yesterday.....*sniff.
I told her she wasn't allowed to turn 11, she had to stay 10 forever.....forever people! I mean it!
nope she insisted that she would be turning 11.....brat!
I told her I am the mom and I make the rules. 

Here she is sporting her new (to her) in-line skates. I picked those bad boys up for $3 at the DI. Score!

on her way back to crash into me

It was funny, my dad called to wish her a happy birthday and he asked her what she had got. She said "nothing yet".  I am such a poo brain.  I forgot to let her open presents.  You can tell by the look on her face that she didn't mind.  I tried to surprise her by picking her up from school with balloons, her car pool picked them up 5 minutes early so I missed her. (guess I should have called carpool mom......)

My mom picked us up to go to dinner at Red Lobster, Kodie is a major seafood freak.  She had Tilapia for the first time. BiG HiT! To bad I am a chicken when it comes to buying and cooking fresh fish.  I do shrimp and crab but anything else I am afraid. Our waiter at Red Lobster kicked major butt and brought her ice cream and a candle and we sang happy birthday.

I am letting her have 2 maybe 3 friends sleep-over Friday and we are going to a movie.  She will get her other presents then.

So needless to say she is officially 11, BUT I am putting my foot down at 13! Happy Birthday buggy I love you.
