Day two was another big one! Cher came in the morning and we worked for a good few hours in tandem! I made a big batch of party mix, and did some laundry along the way, while simultaneously tidying things up, and also keeping babies alive. Once the babies went down for a nap, I hauled myself back outside to work more on the climbing dome. I put on every single handhold EXCEPT ONE because the bolt and nut were STRIPPED!! 😩 Ack!!! But hey. It came together. Mostly.
Towards the end of the afternoon, I got myself put together, as well as a baby who had a visit. And then before I had to leave for that visit, I carried every piece of the girls new bed frame into the house, and every piece of Rowans old loft bed frame out of the house! Whew!
Aaaaand then my mom came and Cher and I kidnapped her and Dekker to hit up a birthday supper for royalty!
Well. Asian royalty. On the west side. Once we dropped off the baby, of course.
The Great Buffet of China was on tonights menu!!!! Dekker’s first time. As a lover of all the food, he was STOKED to have a shot at it! Somehow he just seemed like an extra big boy tonight.
The rest of us were punks, though.
We ate more food than a human person should consume in one sitting, and then we had dessert 🤣And then we went to pick up the baby and head home. Dekker hardly moved on the drive, hahaha!
It was a riot of an evening out with my mom, my almost teenager, and my best friend 💜 Of course, the guests of honour – the birthdayees (yup its a thing) 🙌
Happy birthday supper to you, my dear mom 💜 And a happy birthday eve to you, beautiful Dekker 💜 And all kinds of squishy love and happy to you, sweet Cherice 💜 Thank you for being an integral part of our family.
What a GREAT day. Still lots and lots to do, but this day had a fun outing in it! Tomorrow also carries an outing, but there are errands to run throughout! Plus, we HAVE to build beds! Ack!!! Wish us luck, guys!!
