Today it started to pour buckets and lil pooks wanted to go out and tickle rain dance. Daddy surprised her and just ran outside and jumped in the pool with her. She thought it was hilarious. They were having so much fun that I had to put down the camera and get in myself. The rain made waves in the pool and was super refreshing. Good idea dada!

Yes we learned a lesson today but at least it was a fun one. Daddy mentioned Pookie’s birthday (which is next week) to Pookie and well, that was all that needed to happen to have a morning filled with “It’s my birthday. Time for birthday party. Make a birthday cake. Open presents.” etc, etc. Sooo, we did just that…minus the presents. We sang Happy Pretend Birthday to you, baked a cake, blew out candles and made a pretend birthday dinner. Thankfully you were satisfied and we will not be talking about your birthday again until the morning you wake up and turn 3 yrs old! XOXO. Nonetheless, we had a fantastic pretend birthday and i made you a perfectly scary Coraline type smiley face cake with what we had here.
