Turning THREE

Sweet little Maren turned 3 last week!

 She finally got to make the monster cupcakes she had been eyeing in a cupcake recipe book. This is Maren "helping."

The monster eyes weren't quite done before bed, but I took her picture with them anyway.  

The finished monsters - of course there were pink ones for girls and blue ones for boys... 

 On her birthday, Maren visited the science museum and made a mudpie earth for Earth Day. Then she visited a friend who had a new baby sister too so she could practice for her own baby sister.

 She finally got to open presents after dinner - with Izzy's help of course.


Since we were tired of cupcakes, Maren celebrated her actual birthday with an ice cream sandwich!

We can't believe Maren is three years old. Time goes quickly, but everyone always tells you that. Maren started a new daycare this week at a center and has impressed me with her ability to adapt. She loves school and is in such a good mood when I pick her up. That helps the mommy guilt a little. :) On to another year!

Wonderful Monster cupcakes. They turned out so cute. And the baby holding was pretty adorable too.
