The Birthday that never ends!
Hello all! so let's do a recap on the birthday.
I left here Thursday i should have went shopping for the rest of the stuff but sadly i didn't i ended up going to football practice then straight to work! Had a blast came home about 1am. <-- yep read that right!
I had every intention to get up with the kids - do peanut's hair and send to school.
Didn't happen. I slept in until about 8:30-9am! WOW! i never sleep past 7. usually up by like 6:30ish.
whatever. i finally got up had my first cup of coffee THEN was able to start moving. First up the house. I had to clean we were having people over who are allergic to dogs. i needed to get ALL of the dog hair off of the couches etc.
then had the BRILLIANT idea to give Logan a bath. took him outside to blow dry him. the lawn had a thick carpet of white dog hair... it was horrible. cleaned that up took him inside. to see my couch was FULL of dog hair once again.

cleaned it up AGAIN did the last minute shopping finally stopped about 9pm. Tom was out trying to clean out the pool. We haven't used it since football started - it was a lovely shade of dark green. When tom was done it looked like green jello... NOPE pool is closed for the year.
fell flat on my face to wake up EARLY Saturday. kids were all excited! YAY our party day! I was a little upset as it was one year ago we were surprising the kids for their Disney trip... ALL i kept thinking about WHY weren't there?!?!
So on with the show.. I had to CLEAN AGAIN. start getting all the salads cakes and things DONE.
when the storm hit... not just any storm but like a thunderous sheets of rain storm.
i was glued to the weather and thankfully it blew over about 11.
i was on a roll...
Of course i can't just make a normal pasta salad.. I have to make colored pasta..

I think it came out pretty cool...
then we made:

oreo cookies dipped in chocolate. because oreo's need more calories!!! YUM! with sprinkles and things!
then
oh how i love these!
had to fill the pinata
and the loot bags made the kids do this...
Then totally forgot i had to make CAKES!!! so i did that too

yes there was three of them. But put one away for today.
the jump house came a little later because of the storms IT WAS HUGE! the kids had the bright idea to put the hose on the slide part. talk about a MESS!
The pizza guy came
the party went off without a hitch! everyone had a blast!!! i was able to finally sit down at about 4pm. I will say it was perfect. the kids had a blast.
a friend took this:

VERY LOUD.
I will upload my pictures this week.
we did have one little boy spend the night.. one of the people over with dog allergies.. yeah... He was OK!!!
Sunday came and i had to get the floors done i had more grass in the house then the lawn didn't take long since Zack helped me clean up after effects of a successful party
The kids had toys r us gift cards burning a hole in their pockets. off we went.
The boys both got Drones. Meg a bunch of little things along with MORE stuffed animals. a stop at the
Disney store and on our way home to play with the drones.
they are REALLY COOL!!! one of them takes video and pictures! i promise to share those as well..
Fun story.
my friend Chunk came by he got a new camera i wanted to see and he wanted to play with the new toys too... Out front there are trees on the parkway
Yes Chunk got one of the drones stuck in the tree about 20' up.
How the hell are we going to get that down?
oh a volleyball? Sure. sounds like a great idea..
that got stuck,. Meg is not happy its her wilson volleyball.
a softball? OK just don't get that stuck it's meg's game ball.
as my neighbor pulls up they ask what happens. we tell them Javier goes to his truck and is doing whatever
Hey how about old shoes.
that got stuck.
Jav then pulls out this LONG HUGE rope. start circling it like a cowboy. tosses it up and gets the 20' branch little yank and down came the drone. Poof also got the volleyball. still no sign of the old cleat.
HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? HOW does your neighbor JUST happen to have the exact 'tool' needed to get a drone out of a tree??? I am still shocked. macgyver i tell you i cannot make this stuff up.
We watched the Disney movies on ABC family all weekend too.
Monday my Mom wanted to take the kids shopping.
Yes again
so off we went BACK to Toys R us which was easy enough since they knew what they wanted.. yep another drone to the list. then CLOTHES! YAY! these kids made out.
once home Tom wanted to play with the drones. had a blast.
today is the kids actual birthday. we would have been in MK...
i think our trips will be in Sept from here on out!
we have football and cheerleading today. tonight i will make their favorite dinner along with the last of the cake.. this coming weekend they want to go to Red Lobster... so the birthday celebrations are ON GOING!!!
