We had a nice, tame, understated birthday party for Lukie this weekend. The sweet spot was to sleep him up and fill him up, and have it in that two-hour interval between morning and afternoon naps. It worked perfectly. He had a nice nap, ate a good lunch, and then the partiers (i.e., grandparents) showed up. We ate sandwiches and cupcakes, opened a few presents, let the boys play a little, and then back down for naps. And that was a wrap.
Yummy GF cupcakes made by moi. They were good but I should've gone with Cupz instead, which is what I usually do.
Pre-party lunch. :)
Opening his presents...
Favorite gift: super-soft polar bear from Grandma Mark. Luke will face-plant on anything soft and like there, belly-down, with a drunken grin on his face. Which is exactly what he did.
He nibbled politely on his cupcake for a few minutes and then ditched it. Sorry, I don't do the stripped-down messy-frosting pics. Not my style.
Their colds are finally clearing up. Levi took the brunt of it this time, and I counted that I was up multiple times a night with at least one coughing child eleven nights in a row. I honestly have slept better with newborns in the house. So we skipped church on Sunday. Their noses were still running, and technically they aren't supposed to go to the nursery as such, and honestly - I want my kids to have just one week cold-free. And this mama just. wants. sleep.
Levi woke up with a very wet bed this morning (which is pretty much a nightly occurrence, yes he's still in dipes but he's a turbo-wetter at night), so I plopped both boys in the tub. Baths are usually done in the evening, but since Levi was so wet, and Luke was nearly swan-diving into the tub with his jammies on, I figured why not. They don't typically bathe together so they had a riot. I did my hair while they played. Win-win. Dig the Tarzan pants I drew on them?
Levi was very proud of himself for completing his word puzzles by himself at breakfast, so he grabbed his phone and called Dr. "Be-kowski" (his pediatrician, Dr. Rutkoski) to tell him all about it.
Then he retired to his room to read a book (and keep Luke out of his hair, I think).
Luke retired to the front entry to twang on the door stopper. :) Dooiiiinnnnnnggggggg
We kicked off 'D' week with a foam dinosaur 'D' that admittedly looks more like a turtle. We did other stuff too, but the dino was the cutest.
Happy anniversary to me and Matt!!! Seven years today of bliss, bliss, bliss. ;) I love you, Matt and I *can't wait* to see what the Lord has for us in the next seven years.
