pre- birthday

I have been preparing for my birthday girls post tomorrow and just cannot narrow down all these pictures. So, I decided I am going to post a couple days of Siobhan, she kind of demands that sort of attention. So, I will warn you now, the next couple of posts will be picture heavy. It's not everyday that your oldest becomes a teenager. Siobhan is about one of the funnest kids ever. She has a definite flair for drama. Being the oldest, she is the loudest and bossiest of the bunch. She also is the most protective and she and Oscar have a relationship like no other brother and sister I know.
She adores her father. And he adores her in return. They are so alike, and at least once a day I feel like I am watching Pat, instead of Siobhan, act like a complete loon. He will do just about anything for her.

To Patricks dismay, she has had this effect on other boys in her life also. In preschool, she always had a crowd of boys around. When she decided to play house, all she had to do was walk out to the playground and yell, "Who wants to be Dad?" and at least 2 or 3 boys would come running.
Perhaps one of the funnest to watch is Grandpa Fish. Nicoe and Siobhan have him at their beck and call. Not to say that Grandpa Pat isn't right up there.
Tonight these kids will be heading to the boardwalk and I am jealous! Siobhan said today that she has never been on a ride with just Oscar, but this picture proves otherwise.
These last two are purely just to drive Siobhan crazy. So, now I can save the rest of my photos and gear up for tomorrow. It's gonna be a big day.
I promise, no embarrassing ones after this.
