Kaylee's Birthday and all my mommy fails!

Ugg. today did not go as planned at all. I always try and make the kids birthdays meaningful and special just for them and not just giving them gifts but nothing went as planed for Kaylee today. See my parents mostly my mom did not do the birthday thing for me and made them kinda crappy for me. So I want my kids have one special day just for them where they know that I/We are happy that they are here and celebrate that with them. So when things did not turn out as I had planned I got a little down. Money is really tight and I had to keep things simple but she got to pick the things so we planned stuff last week.

Here is what I/We had Planned for:
1. Birthday Pancakes for Breakfast: Homemade with sprinkles and chocolate chips.
2. Pick up Payton and go to the park of Kaylee's choosing
3. Make a birthday cake and special cookies for her to take to school
4. Sign her up for Gymnastics Class at the willow glen community center
5. Have dinner at McDonald's and after dinner play in the in door play area
6. Watch one show before bed.

Here is what really happened:
1. No time for breakfast do to Michael so she had chocolate milk in the car on the way to pick up Payton.
2. We got to the park and started to play for about 10 minutes until Kaylee peed her pants ( to busy to stop playing to go to the bathroom) so we had to leave and go home.
3. We were unable to make the cake or the cookies because I did not have all the ingredients (mommy fail) so we went to the store and got Oreo's to take to class. No birthday cake at all!
4. There are no more scholarships left for this year at all of the community centers so she is on the waiting list (number 22 so not likely) she cried about this one! second mommy fail.
5. Do to scheduling issues I did not realize that I had Payton longer today so we ended up having dinner at Grandmas house. She cried about this too. third mommy fail
6. We did watch one show before bed and mommy even let her watch two!

I am happy to say that Kaylee was happy with her special day even if I was not. She was thrilled that we have a new kids CD in the car to sing along with and that after dinner at grandmas she got to play with uncle Lewis. This girl is teaching me so much I can't keep up! I love her so much it is crazy.
