FYI: 5 + idk = lol

Hannah turned five this weekend. FIVE! You go girl!

Turning five means a number of things to her:

1) She can do the Hoedown Throwdown. (Because, "if you're 5 or 82, this is something you can do..") There must be an exception for 30 somethings, because I seriously can't move that fast with any form of coordination. (Don't tell Hannah, but she can't either! lol)

2) She starts school. A while back, Jonah informed her that she would not get to start going to his school until she turned five. She thought she would start the day after she turned five. Not quite.

3) She can speak in text lingo. Her girl cousins went with us on a little birthday getaway and taught her how to speak text lingo. "idk" is her favorite right now. (fyi - "idk" stands for "I don't know" - who knew that?) I had a little sit down lesson with Hannah this morning to explain to her how "idk" could mean "I don't know." (Just a little teach moment, you might say.) She might be the only 5 year old around that understands how the "kn" can make the "n" sound. I have decided that a 5 year old speaking text lingo is cute, like, once. And then it is not.

4) Strawberry Shortcake - she is obsessed right now. I totally don't mind because I LOVE the smell of strawberry shortcake toys - totally takes me back to my childhood. Our house is a very happy smelling house right now thanks to some sweet gifts from family members at her party last night.

5) I just asked Hannah what being five means to her. I'll give you one guess what her answer was. Yep. "idk"

Joey is going to do a re-cap of our weekend birthday getaway with the cousins, but until he posts something, I'll share this little photo of the girls living it up as southern belles at Silver Dollar City:
