Stuff We're "Up To": C is for...

C is for...Cup. Alex took a cheap shot at Abby before she was even out of bed yet--he decided she must be thirsty and tossed a full sippy cup of water at her. He's got exceptional aim! Poor thing--I feel like I need to get her a T-shirt that says, "Don't call CPS, my parents DON'T beat me!!" It's actually looking a little worse than this now that it's healing a bit.

C is for Chair! Bj's birthday chair:

He's had his eye on this comfy chair for a few months, so Happy Birthday to him! It's super comfy!

C is for...Carrot Cake! Which we haven't had a chance to have any of yet. Poor Bj turned 30 without a birthday cake! The weekend was very busy--Saturday was spent mowing at Grandmama's, napping, then going out with Jon and Michelle (Jon's b-day is the 24th, so we usually have a little joint celebration for the boys.). Sunday we went down to Mall of America, took the kids to Camp Snoopy (oops--it's the Park at MOA now, isn't it?), Underwater World, then to Ikea for The Chair.

Abby was really looking forward to Birthday Cake, so I suppose we still need to find time this week to have cake! Abby picked out a pair of pajama pants for her Daddy for his birthday...after talking all day about secrets, surprises and presents, as soon as he walked in the door, she hollered, "Surprise! We got you jajamas!" Meh...guess she missed the concept--it was easy to forgive such cuteness though!

He didn't ask for a day to himself, or hours on his Xbox, or a party, he hasn't even complained that he didn't get his carrot cake. Bj's idea of celebrating his 30th birthday was making the kids as happy as he could--they had a wonderful time on the rides at MOA, seeing the fish, and "Hanging out with Daddy" as Abby would say. Happy Birthday, Beej...I think we got a gift way better than jajamas on August 25, 1977.

Ok, moving on...C is for...Cross-dressing?! Alex has been clomping around in Abby's dress up shoes. It's not uncommon for me to come across him with a little purse hung over his arm, a wrapped up doll in the other arm, and these lovely heels on his feet, lol! Might be time to invest in a cowboy or fireman costume...
