Three posts in one week?! What is happening here? Is it possible that I am getting my act together?
Don't bet on it, my friends. I am just extraordinarily negligent of pretty much everything else. Besides, {p,h,f,r} posts are generally light and quick. (Unless Blogger is having a hissy fit about the photos.)
We are feeling the Short-Timer's Syndrome in a bad way here. The kids know that there is really nothing left to do at school, homework has become an exercise in eye-rolling, and I have been pushing the kids to use every single dress down day pass they have earned through the year just so I don't have to deal with a uniform.
I also may or may not have forced them to buy a hot lunch that they do not particularly care for just so I didn't have to make another lunch. I'll never tell.
In my opinion, it's the perfect time for a birthday! Something fun to shake up the tedium of those last few days of the school year and to force me off the computer to make a cake.
Baby had a great day yesterday. The first thing her brothers and sisters did when they woke up was sing to her and coddle her. She may get all the hand-me-downs and broken toys, but she's never lonely or forgotten. That's a good deal.
Why are you making me sit here, Mom? I want to play! |
Sorry, Baby, but you must have a First Birthday photo op in your birthday shirt. It's in the Mom Code Book. |
Besides, I have to make up for all the other days of the year when there are no pictures of you because I forgot the camera. |
Cheese! |
Baby had no idea why everyone was singing to her, but she knew exactly what to do with the cake. |
This kid is just funny. Except when he is trying to work the word "poop-a-loop" into every conversation. That gets a little old. |
Cute Cute baby!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see that now that she is the big 1, she is still not too old for adorable "scrunchy nose" poses. :)
ReplyDeleteI will now hunt for our own Rangers minifigs. So cool.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that Baby had a wonderful birthday. Birthdays at home, with family, are the very best kind - I'm only sorry I missed it! I don't know why you worried about the cake, I thought it was beautiful! My first thought upon seeing that picture was, "My, what a lovely iced cake!"
ReplyDeleteAlso, Bun is a ridiculously hilarious boy. And you know that Juju shares his obsession with the P*s, even if they are barely holding their own this year. Perhaps, Bun's Lego team is first in their division?
