It is hard to believe that Elizabeth and Olivia (my friend Misty's twins) are going to be 6 years old this week. Misty was pregnant with them when she was my Matron of Honor in our wedding. They really are cute "little" girls. They had a Hannah Montana Dance Party birthday this weekend. I took Drew over for the festivities. By the end of the party, he was dancing by the table. There were just too many new people for him to be comfortable on the dance floor early on in the party. He did really well dealing with his food allergy issues. He didn't ask for the chocolate candy on the table and didn't complain about not getting birthday cake - he had his own "special" cupcakes.
The party was from 6-8 pm. However, we went over to Carmi early to cook with Grandma and Grandpa. We are now eliminating all milk, cinnamon, and honey from Drew's diet - which is somewhat challenging. He is still breaking out at times...so, we know that there is probably something else that we are missing. Anyway, Grandpa makes the best pancakes in the world. So, he made some "special" pan-a-cakes (that is what Drew calls them) for us to freeze for breakfast. Of course, we split a couple for dessert after lunch. After making the pancakes, I made cupcakes to take to the party in Drew's Spiderman cupcake liners. The main dish was up next on the list of our cooking party...Chicken & Dumplings. Being that Drew's foods have been restricted lately, I decided that we should cater to him on Saturday by making his favorite food - Dumplings. So, mom and I made dumplings (without butter of course) while dad watched Drew play. While they were cooking, mom took Drew on a walk over behind our neighbors house to play on the merry-go-round (they bought the playground equipment from my elementary school when it closed). On their walk back, Drew informed my mom that she was his "new" grandma. She asked what he meant by that and he said, "My old grandma died...her name was Kristi Farmer...you are my new grandma." Mom really didn't know how to take it...but, it was a funny story. Drew has been obsessed with death a little bit since Kelly's funeral. After they go back from the walk, we ate supper and got ready for the party. Drew ate an entire plate of chicken and dumplings. He has been eating like a horse since we restricted milk. After the party, we stopped by Holly and Aaron's house to put on his pj's. I stopped by Mom and Dad's house to run in and grab the stuff that I left there and headed home. I had to make it home before Ben went to work so that he could get his Chicken and Dumplings that he missed out on. He had TeenPower interviews again on Saturday and slept during the afternoon because he had to work Saturday night.
