Well well well .... we were up early this morning. We had a lot of cleaning to do before everyone came over for Joshua's birthday lunch! We cleaned the toilets in the house (we need to replace the seats, but we'll do that later), we ran laundry, we cleaned the kitchen, and then tried to straighten up all the toys in the living room and playroom.
Once all that was done, we watched an episode of Mickey Mouse before snack time. You two did well with snack time. Joshua had his applesauce and Grace almost finished a container of yogurt. You had two bites left sweetie .... you didn't want to finish it? ;-)
Daddy and I ordered pizza and cheesey bread for lunch. Daddy went to pick it up and as soon as he came back people started to come over. We saw Gigi, Grandpa Jim, Uncle James, Mimi, Grandpa Mike, Uncle Brennan, Aunt Katie, (Great) Aunt Beth, Cousin Charlie, and Cousin Madelynn. You all had so much fun playing together! Grace, you kept trying to get right up in Madelynn's face and smiled at her. She's almost 10 months old. Joshua thought she was cute too, so perhaps you two will be fine with another baby in the family come december. ;-) Charlie and Joshua kept running around the house like wild people. Grace would join in too. ;-) Daddy took some videos of you all playing and running. I took some photos.
Joshua, you made out like a bandit. You got so many presents! You got car toys, train toys, books, puppets, a rug with roads on it for your cars, a car wall plate .... plus cake and cookies!
Once people starting leaving, Joshua went down for a nap with Uncle James. Grace, you were rocked to sleep by Gigi, though you didn't sleep long. Madelynn sleep too so Charlie had the entertain the rest of us. :-)
You all were awake around 4pm and everyone left around 4:30pm. We went upstairs to relax a little before dinner. Dinner was leftovers, though I think you two were still hyper from the day. It was a struggle to get you two to eat anything, and it's not like we were trying to feed you two a plate of veggies .... it was pizza! :-P We had to reward you all with a cookie in order for you all to eat.
Afterward, we wrote 'thank you' cards for all the gifts Joshua got today for his birthday party. Then, we cleaned the downstairs and the kitchen from the day. You two played with all the new toys this evening. Joshua, you love the 'Woody' car that (Great) Aunt Beth gave you. You shake it and it says 'reach for the sky' (since he's a cowboy) and then it speeds across the floor on its own! Grace, you love it too and you all kept getting exciting when it would race.
Once you all had your baths, it was time for bed. What an exciting day!
Sleep tight little ones!
I love you both so much!
