Birthday #3

I am about a week behind posting all of the pictures that I have from this month. So let's step back about 1 week in time and check out what the boys are/were up to...

Last weekend we celebrated Wyatt's 5th birthday again with Grandma Kathie and Grandpa Bill. After I dropped the boys off at preschool on Friday they took Shane and headed out to Costco leaving me home by MYSELF all morning! It was so relaxing!

I walked from room to room in my house enjoying how clean and neat and organized everything looked.

Then I waited 15 minutes and went back and did the same thing again and you know what? It was still clean and neat and organized! Truly a miracle in this house!

Then I snapped back to reality and realized that I had a million and one things to get done on my childless agenda, so I hopped in the car and raced around town for the next 2 and a half hours checking things off my list.

It is amazing how much stuff you can get done when you don't have to load and unload anybody into a car seat!

Then I blinked and it was 11:45 pm, so I raced over and picked up the twins from preschool. Then we drove like crazy to get Wyatt from preschool and we were still about 15 minutes late. His teacher had him vacuuming the classroom when we arrived so it was all good. Good cheap labor is hard to find.

That night at dinner Wyatt lost his tooth. It had been hanging on by one thread for several days and was giving us all the willies. The adults were all excited that we didn't have to look at it wondering anymore and the kids were all excited about the tooth fairy! Everybody was happy about the tooth!


Then we did Birthday #3 with the cake and presents. Grandpa Bill and Grandma Kathie got Wyatt some pink slippers and pink pajama bottoms. He was floating on air! "How did they know that pink was my favorite color Mom?" Honey, everybody knows that pink is your favorite color. We are just wondering when pink is NOT going to be your favorite color anymore.


Wyatt, when you read this blog someday just keep in mind that YOU were the one that liked pink. I have spent countless hours trying to talk you out of getting pink STUFF. I gave up a few months ago. You can be a fan of pink forever if you want. I am moving on.


Then Grandma Kathie and Grandpa Bill bought the kids a Wii (with a pink remote controller). We have all been enjoying the Wii! It is so much fun to watch the kids try and play the games! John and I have been playing against each other every night after the kids are in bed too! Who would have guessed that a video game would be so much fun for us? Now whenever I get stressed out with the kids I turn on my Wii and select the sword fighting game and work out my frustrations into a high score!
