Happy Birthday

This week has been a busy one. It started off easy enough, but there is something about food shopping with two kids that is just exhausting. They were both really good in the store, I think it has to do with the lugging of one child while constantly trying to hold the hand of the other, while making sure you get everything on the list and not all the extra's Julia keeps trying to throw in the carriage. Then to put it all away, ugh. Seriously, hours later my kitchen was back in order. But we did manage to get all the yummy stuff Julia wanted to decorate her cupcakes with. Julia had about 10 friends over for her birthday, and they all decorated a cupcake. Not as messy as I imagined, but super fun. So, that brings me to Julia's birthday...

Her birthday was Saturday, so the night before after the munchkins were asleep (or so I thought) I went to ItzaParty and got 24 balloons for Julia. While she was asleep, I decorated her room with them. She was so excited when she woke up! I told her they were from the "birthday fairy." She used to visit me when I was little. After breakfast Jay and I gave her the presents from us. We got her some shark bite hot wheels toy she wanted along with walkie talkies and some other little fun things. Innocent enough right? Yeah, except for the fact that our awesome walkie talkies pick up the same frequency as the truck drivers on 495. The first thing we all heard when we turned them on were a few choice words...I think you get the point. Although, completely entertaining for me, not exactly what I want my 4 year old repeating!!

All in all Julia had a wonderful day. Alison was so excited for a party she refused to nap, but was surprisingly still happy to see people.
