Mommy wanted to celebrate my birthday with them before Dorothy left for camp tomorrow. So we went over there, the boys grilled burgers and dogs, and we had a nice lunch together complete with cake! Mommy didn't have enough candles for my old age (ha!) so I only put 1 candle to blow out. While we were there though, poor Dave S. got stung by bees around 30x thanks to the hive in the junky car next store! Mommy was very irritated and is trying to figure out how to get the hive taken care of without paying $200 again since it isn't even on your property! So he wasn't able to finish mowing the yard and mom couldn't take Curly into the backyard to do her business. Which is hard because she won't do it in the front yard...can't say I blame her though! It's not too private for such a personal thing. hehe We had plans to go to Dave and Buster's with friends tonight so we headed home to give the kiddos a nap. Shortly after we got home we had a wonderful and crazy monsoon storm hit and were blessed with lots of rain! Your side of town got hit worse than we did including a tree in Mattie and Christian's neighborhood that ended up on a car! Yikes! We just have a flooded back yard which means we won't have to turn the sprinklers on for a few days! YAY! Luckily the storm subsided right before we needed to leave so we made it there in one piece! It was a lot of fun and we enjoyed all the friends and family that came! It has been a fun annual tradition and the kids love it. We got over 2,000 tickets so Colin was able to get the baseball bat he wanted along with quite a few pieces of candy. When we got home however, we had quite the meltdown!!! Bryan asked Colin to wash his hands...and for some reason, I may never know, it caused an absolute panic attack! Bryan and I were literally standing there laughing hysterically (with our heads turned so he couldn't see us) because he was on the floor, pants-less, screaming, "NO! NO! NO!" and there was no reason why he couldn't just stand up and wash his hands! So after about 10 minutes of that, he finally got up and washed them. He had quite the headache after all his yelling! While that was taking place Cecily was on our bed with Owen and decided to entertain him by jumping on the bed...yea...she fell off, got her head on the corner of the frame and now has a HUGE lump on the back of her head! So I consoled her while Bryan dealt with Colin and praise Jesus Owen was just sitting there happily watching all the chaos! I found the whole thing very amusing and I know you would have too!
So all in all it was a good day! A few kid updates, Cecily was given a pair of boots (from Chrissy) that she now LOVES and wants to wear them everywhere, she refuses to wear her swim top for swim lessons so she does it with just bottoms on like a true European girl, and she is still in love with Larry Boy. Colin is on his last package of pull ups and I have high hopes it's the last bag we will have to buy for him! Night time we will still have to put pull ups on him, but I am not too concerned about that yet. One battle at a time! Owen has discovered his voice and just screeches (he is currently doing it in my lap), giggles, coos, and babbles all day! The kids keep asking me what is wrong with him and tell him to stop but I keep reminding them that he is allowed to talk too! Poor kid!
Well that about wraps it up! Wish you were here...it's going to be a difficult birthday week without you here! I wish you could be here for even just 1 day to celebrate with us! I love you and I miss you like crazy!
Your Favorite Second Born,
Carley
