Today was a pretty good day all around.
With no time to spare this morning, we ate a quick breakfast, and got ourselves ready for the day. We were off, nice an early, for a lunch time birthday party. My cousin Jeff's little girl turned 4 this week, and they threw one heck of a party for her today. There were tons of "carnival" games and prizes for the kids. It was a lot of fun, and gave me some really great ideas for Amelia's birthday next summer!
After the party, we were off on quite an adventure to get home. The highway we had to take home was completely closed. THANK GOD for GPS, because while I've lived in the area my entire life, we were at a complete loss on the best way to get home. But, the girls were passed out pretty much the whole ride, and we ended up on quite a scenic route, which is great this time of year with all of the changing leaves. So, it wasn't the end of the world.
The girls continued to nap for a bit once we got home, so I finished up the laundry while Christian mowed the lawn...possibly for the last time this year. Once the girls woke up, we ran to Home Depot to pick up a few "winterizing" items they had on sale, and stopped in to Applebee's for dinner. We had plenty to time to just hang out as a family, and it was a pretty good time. The waiter talked me into ordering a "Perfect Margarita", which is really FOUR margaritas, and I drank them all! LOL. It was a well deserved "pitcher" of margaritas though!
Finally, we settled into the house for the evening. The girls were thoroughly entertaining tonight, it was one of those nights that reminds you why you have those crazy little rugrats in the first place. We re-hung the monitor (which, PS, we thought was DEAD this morning when we couldn't get it to turn on...until YOURS TRULY figured out how to fix it), I cleaned up the house (which, PPS, an invisible tornado must have made its way through), we put the girls down, and it was time for some much needed R&R! Saturday Night Live, the laptop, some Apple Crisp and Ice Cream...PERFECTION!
Here are a few pictures from the party. Fun, fun! Tomorrow is birthday party #2 of the weekend! What better way to spend a weekend, than celebrating the amazing little lives we bring into this world?!
