Christian was up bright and early to help our neighbor move. This was supposed to happen weeks ago, but she changed the date a couple of times. We had plans today, but I agreed to go solo while he helped her…ONLY because she was paying him and we can always use the extra money. Otherwise, I was pretty upset about the delays and several changes of plans. He ended up helping her from 7:00AM-7:00PM. Crazy. She didn’t plan well at all…it was just Christian, his friend and our other neighbor doing EVERYTHING. Poor guy.
The girls were up SUPER early today. I was upset about it, but we had a party to go to at 1:00, so it actually worked out well. We ate some breakfast, played for a while, and I was able to get them down for an early nap around 10:30. I showered and got ready, packed up our bag for the day, did a little picking up, then woke them up to get them ready. We stopped into Target, and made our way to the party. Today we were celebrating my BFF’s son, Andrew’s birthday. 8th BIRTHDAY. Wow. They had his party at Cascade Bay, and the weather was PERFECT for the waterpark. The girls had so much fun. Olivia went down the slides over and over again and practiced swimming…she actually puts her face under water and tries to swim. I don’t even know where she’s learned that! Amelia is not afraid of water at all…which is good, but bad at the same time. She’ll travel into water that’s too deep for her. She’ll sit down in the water, where the water can then go over her face, and just laugh like it’s the funniest thing ever. Terrifying. I try not to panic or go crazy because I don’t want her to be afraid of water, but it’s scary. Definitely need to get them into swim lessons!
After a few trips down the lazy river, some slides, some presents, dinner and cake, and lots of sun, we made our way home. We didn’t end up getting home until after 7:00. The girls were a handful most of the day…not listening great, fighting with each other and just driving me crazy in general. They were finally quiet and playing well together. I was working on their baby books to wind down a little bit (I FINALLY printed some pictures to add to them), and things were fairly peaceful. Then *CRASH* in the kitchen. I went to check it out, and they had gotten ahold of Amelia’s “2” figurine for her birthday, and broken it. I was furious…it’s not even her birthday yet, I didn’t even GIVE it to her yet, it was in a box, in the Styrofoam and everything. It was the last straw. They were both sent to their room, and they knew immediately this was serious. I called Christian, who was FINALLY on his way, and he rushed home to deal with them.
We all relaxed, composed ourselves and took some deep breaths. The girls finally went down to bed, and I was basically done for the day. I had grand plans of starting on our cleaning tonight, but I was way too worn out to even think about it. So, we all called it a night.
Here are some pictures from the party fun.
