Happy Birthday McKinley

So I am a couple days late on the Happy Birthday McKinley. Her birthday was Saturday, and she turned 9!!! I can't believe it. She is such a sweet girl. There is a poem that we love to say to her it goes like this:



There once was a little girl,


and she had a little curl


right in the middle


of her forehead;


When she was good


she was very very good,


But when she was bad


She was horrid.


I have always said she is an "old Soul". She would rather sit and listen to the adults talk than play with the kids. If she doesn't get enough sleep, she is a mess. When she wants to be good she is the best kid in the world, when she wants to be bad, well, she is horrid. She is way good most of the time. I love her to be close to me. She always makes me feel good when she is around me. I love her very much.

What a funny poem! I saw those shoes on her yesterday--they are really cool. Taylor is the same when it comes to lack of sleep--it's like WATCH OUT!! Where did you get McKinley's cake?
Thanks again for a great brunch yesterday and I appreciate your support of me NOT wanting to move :)

She is a great girl! She just doesn't like to be hurried. She has her own agenda in her head and if it goes off course she doesn't know how to handle it. I love her for all of that it makes her unique. Who wants and ordinary kid?

It must be a girl thing with the lack of sleep- all of us in my house suffer from the same thing!
