So, my baby just turned 8 last week. EIGHT!! I am emotional as it is, but having my tiny little baby turn a year older and no longer even resemble a baby? Total mix of emotions. Pride, amazement, wonder and dread all rolled into one ball of tears. Her Birthday was on a week day, so we made some Birthday Cake Pancakes to start the day off right. I think its safe to say she liked them.
I snagged her for about 3 minutes of freezing cold around the corner before the bus came to whisk her off to school. She suffers from PCS (Photographers Child Syndrome), so her time in front of the camera is always interesting. I'll start off with her true colors...
People in our neighborhood have dogs. Lots of Dogs. And not all of them carry poo bags when they walk them. We call this poo avoidance or an "interpretive dance" if you will: Dear People, Please Pick Up Your Dog's Poop.
I did manage to get some of her pretty face. Even though it was windy :)

| 8! |
Isn't she gorgeous? I think so :)
One of the lovely perks of "growing up" is changing your FAVORITE color. Her room was a ton of colors but super heavy on the pink. Who doesn't love pink? Well, now her favorite color is GREEN. The thing she wanted the most for her Birthday was to redecorate her room, with green being the focus. Here are a couple before photos from the iPhone.

| I didn't want to have to get rid of these, so we kept the pink and yellow accents |
She LOVES her new GREEN ROOM!!! So do I. Makes me want to redecorate the other rooms of the house. :)
Not only did she get a green room, but she got a green Party too. Those photos later :)
