Sydney's turning 4!!!

Last weekend we spent at home trying to get ready for Sydney's birthday party for this coming weekend.  Gettng the garage cleaned out, being thats where the festivites will be held again this year.  Which worked out great last year its roomier and cooler than the house.  (Not too cool though, we have a heated garage.)  So while Patrick worked on the garage I worked on stuff in the house: cleaning bathrooms and some major dusting.  Last year we had the girls parties together being their birthdays are a couple of weeks apart.  Which ended up being waaaaay overwhelming to say the least, and to my surprise Patrick agreed....thankfully!!  So we decided to have them separate this year, having Sydneys a few days before her actuall birthday and Karsyn's a couple weeks after her birthday.  Sydney has picked a "Dora the Exporer" theme for her party, which as some of you know wasn't my favorite in the past. =)  Her absolute favorite meal is TACOS so we are doing a "taco bar", and she has requested "chocolate chip mint ice cream cake".   I still can't believe she is going to be 4!!!
