Halloween 2011

This year for Halloween Lauren kept chanigng her mind about what she wanted to be. But I wasn't concerned because all of her ideas were costumes that we owned. BUT then the week before her Halloween parade at school she changed her mind again and wanted to be a rock star. Of course we owned nothing for that costume. Some how we managed to pull it off and she looked awesome. I loved that she was so creative and she was so unique. When you look at your pictures you may say more "Deperately Seeking Susan- Madonna's old movie" vs. rock star but perfect either way! This year Gabe was Tigger. He of course was adorable! He really figured out trick or treating and had a great time going up to all the houses with the big kids.

Lauren's Birthday Party

This year Lauren wanted a Justin Bieber, Barbie, Spiderman birthday party. (Spiderman was for Gabe). We decided to have a dance party at the JCC all to JB music. Lauren had 11 of her friends come to the party. It was so cute. We had the best JB cake. It was so fun to see Lauren celebrating with so many wonderful friends.

Lauren has a loose tooth!

So the week before Lauren turned 5 she was complaining about her tooth hurting her. But she also told us she bit a block. So I just assumed she hurt it doing that and she was not going to get much sympathy because after all at almost 5 you should not be biting blocks! Well one day after complaining that apples hurt to eat Brian went over and took a look. To our surprise it wasn't the block after all. She had a loose tooth. So we went from not paying attention about her hurt tooth to making a really BIG deal over her first loose tooth! She is the first her age to have a loose tooth...but as we all know Lauren does everything early. Remember her coming three weeks early and being perfectly ready to go. She hasn't slowed down yet. We will keep you posted on when it comes out!
