It's my birthday too, yeah

I lately read a spider web log post on Keep Calm in addition to Have a Cosmo virtually the "Facebook Facade." Yesterday, every bit I was madly dashing or thus the line of piece of occupation solid trying to construct clean virtually earlier our line of piece of occupation solid invitee arrived, I realized simply how rattling truthful that is. Here is how my birthday genuinely went. My hubby took the boys to the commons acre I had my pilus done inwards the forenoon (it is amazing how those greyness hairs simply maintain coming dorsum in addition to coming back, no affair how unwelcome I brand them feel); he ended upwardly leaving subsequently an hr because the babies were also hot in addition to our three-year onetime was, every bit he said, "tired." My invitee arrived. Shortly subsequently she arrived, I realized nosotros nevertheless had no Father's Day presents or cards. I pulled my three-year onetime to the side in addition to had the next conversation:

Me: "We withdraw to become to Target to purchase Daddy a surprise for Father's Day."

D: "Um, well, how virtually yous become in addition to I remain here?"

Me: "You withdraw to alternative it out, bud."

D: "Okay, okay, I conduct hold an idea. You become alongside Miss chiliad [our line of piece of occupation solid guest] in addition to larn the Father's Day present."

Me: "Miss chiliad is going to become alongside us. You withdraw to come upwardly alongside us to larn Daddy's present."

D: "Yeah! She's going to become alongside you! And I'm going to remain here."

Eventually nosotros made it to Target, D alongside us, in addition to wandered the aisles aimlessly until nosotros stumbled across Blue Rays that were on sale (did Target read my husband's mind...?). We all came dwelling to start dinner. The babies fussed. And cried. And in addition to then whined. The adults opened bottles of beer. The kids kept fussing. And in addition to then dinner was on the table. I genuinely intend I pass to a greater extent than of my fourth dimension during meals standing in addition to getting things than genuinely sitting in addition to eating. D sat on his stride ladder, his novel favorite identify to eat, for some reason; he refuses to use a proper chair. Dinner was delicious. C devoured the steak tips nosotros gave him. O spent the repast crying because at that spot were steak tips on his tray. At the rattling destination of the meal, he tried i ("I similar them! I similar them, Sam-I-am!") solely to discovery they were delicious in addition to like shooting fish in a barrel ate every terminal bite. To hand off the delicious meal, nosotros cutting upwardly in addition to served the salted browned butter Rice Krispy treats Miss chiliad brought, or, every bit she calls them, "grown-up Rice Krispies." I cutting i process into tiny bites to feed the babies. C ate them i at a time, happily. O cried-- weird nutrient on his high chair tray-- earlier stuffing every terminal seize alongside teeth into his oral fissure all at once. While O ate, C started testing out his lungs, yelling loudly, "AAAAAAA!!!!" D, finding this hilarious, starting imitating him. I tin dismiss tranquility a three-year old. It is much harder to tranquility a song one-year onetime alongside no vocabulary. I apologized to Miss chiliad for causing impairment to her ear drums.

After dinner, I claimed the dishes, leaving my hubby to bathe the babies (it was my birthday). As Miss chiliad in addition to I worked on the dishes-- she said I shouldn't create dishes on my birthday-- my hubby had the babies inwards the bathtub. We could withdraw heed him repeatedly saying, "Sit down, C. Sit down, O. Sit down, guys. Hey, sit down down..." Then taking them to their sleeping accommodation for jams, "Come here, C. Come here, O. Sit down. Hey, sit down down..." After the kids were inwards bed my hubby comes out, "O walked across the room." I said, "What?! You didn't come upwardly larn us?!" He continues, "And he said, 'sit.'" First give-and-take in addition to start steps all inwards i night. I missed them doing dishes. In his defense, my hubby sentiment O had taken steps before; things tin dismiss larn confusing alongside 2 babies reaching milestones at virtually the same time.

We got D to bed alongside no issues. Then started stripping his bed (he's camping ground out on our floor), putting novel sheets on for our line of piece of occupation solid invitee at 8:30 at night. At to the lowest degree she was getting construct clean sheets, fifty-fifty if they weren't on at that spot waiting for her arrival...

Overall, it was a busy, wonderul birthday at home. Still, things create audio improve on Facebook.

My Facebook status re-capping the day: "Miss M arrived alongside salted browned butter rice krispy treats. These things were amazing (I ate to a greater extent than than my share!). W went to the Meat House for steak tips, served them alongside salad, honeydew, cheese bread, in addition to grilled corn. For dessert nosotros had blackberry cobbler in addition to H2O ice cream. Such a fun twenty-four hr catamenia alongside a skilful friend in addition to my sugariness family. Thank yous for the birthday wishes. You all must know this is my favorite holiday. ;)"
