She was BEYOND excited when she woke up this morning. After all, she has only been counting down to this date since spring, right?
The morning started with a pancake breakfast and presents:
Then it was off to school, where Madeleine got to have a white pillowcase signed by all her classmates, hand out a sheet of stickers to each kid as a goody-treat, and make a birthday crown!
This afternoon, per Madeleine's request, we went to Plaster Fun Time as a fun birthday activity (the fact that Madeleine's birthday party tomorrow is a plaster-painting party notwithstanding.)
You may notice that, in the above pictures, Madeleine's hair is in a ponytail. This is not a random occurrence. Madeleine has had the following hand-made sign hanging in her room since summer
(Translation: "Ponytail on October Second")
It was non-negotiable, folks. I dared to suggest a different hairstyle, having totally forgotten about this sign. And let me tell you: it was AW HAIL'S NO from Madeleine. Ponytail or BUST. It had already been set in stone.
Tonight we are headed out to a birthday dinner at Bloow to complete Madeleine's special-day requests. It has been a fun-filled, action-packed day, but what better way to ring in the 6th birthday of a member of the Rowe household??
Happy Birthday, Madeleine!!!!!!!
