so what is stopping you??!! I pride myself in finding a home for most everything, peels into the compost (now wormbox), old food for the dog, old bread for breadcrumbs or croutons – but some things just aren’t valuable to keep – you’ve got the pictures and the memories, it’s enough.

The kids wrote the skits themselves. My babysitter and I helped coordinate (or else they would have taken forever).

By now, the leftovers of the cake are still in the freezer, and I wish it were gone. I’m tempted to just toss it…

Hey Leora,

Sounds great!! And I LOVE that cake!!

Who wrote the skits?

Like Baila, I found my kids “grew out” of the “little kid” phase around 10 or 11.

Orli, who just turned 12 told me the other day I could get rid of her American Girl Doll. I told her NO WAY, that thing cost me 90 dollars, if she’s done with it, I’LL PLAY WITH IT. I would say my kids stopped with the girlie-girlie stuff (Barbies, those tiny little dolls I forget what they are called, etc0 at about 10. But I guess it depends on the kid.

Cool. So when does it turn off (the love of little kid stuff)? I like this stage. I remember when my oldest son was totally into the Thomas the Tank Engine. Now we are not really sure what he is “into,” other than complicated online computer games and books that none of us adults have ever read.

Happy birthday! Did she dress up as a fairy? I remember when my girls were really into fairies. They had this toy where you pulled the string and the fairy went spinning into the air, wings flying.
