Quick! Before they Come Back!

I have ten minutes before I'm off to pick up the birthday girls from the bus stop. They've had a lovely morning of pancakes & sprinkles, wearing anything they want to school, basically having free reign of the house. Some of the things I've laughed at today are:

"Mom, will there be FIREWORKS for our birthday?"

"Do I SOUND seven now?"

"It's our birthday so we can do whatever we want, MOM." 

"There will be cupcakes after school, right?"

Happy Seventh Birthday, darlings! I may say it every year, but I really cannot believe we've got this far! At the same moment, I can't imagine life without you, either.
