Lindsay's Birthday


Lindsay had a great birthday weekend. We started it off on Friday when Grandma Jean took her to Toys R Us and she got to pick out her birthday present. She wanted some little princesses. My mom and I talked her into **Veterinarian Barbie.
Sunday we had her party with my family after church. She wanted a "Pony Cake." Every store in the valley was out of Ponies. Finally found some to put on her cake. We had sandwiches - her least favorite food - but easy for an after church party. Grandma Mary gave all the girls a pack of chap stick. They were sooo excited. Macie's was M&M flavored and for 2 days straight, she smelled/reeked of chocolate chap stick. Then on the 3rd day she said to me, "Mom, this smells like poo, I'm throwing them away." And she did.
On Lindsay's actual birthday Monday, she chose to go to Texas Roadhouse and talked all day about sitting on the saddle. When they brought the saddle out, she did the "stiff board" routine and wouldn't get on! We then came home and opened her presents and she got exactly what she wanted - a dog that barks and eats and has a bag that it sits in. Keep in mind this is my child that is terrified of dogs.
**My mom and I saw the vet Barbie and thought it would go well with the other dog that she was getting for her birthday, that's why we talked her into it. After she opened it and started playing with it, we then realized that it wasn't Vet Barbie, it was Potty Trainer Barbie. The dogs PEE. My mother was mortified and said to take it back, but the kids got such a kick out of it that we're keeping the peeing dogs. You even have to lift one of their legs up to make it pee! Who on earth buys that for their kid?? Apparently me.
