1:00 a.m.: Ever has a major tantrum. In the middle of the night. Yay. Hubby checked on her and she was just fine. By some miracle Osh didn't wake up and luckily mama had taken some benadryl before bed.
7:15 a.m.: Ever wakes up, followed shortly by Ocean.
7:55 a.m.: I pull on sweats and head to the clubhouse to decorate. I stop by Walmart and the Dollar Store to pick up a few more things and then head home.
12:00 p.m.: The babies eat some lunch of turkey, grapes, cheese and honey grahams with a glass of soy milk. I clean them up and we go to my grandparents house.
2:20: We head over and it's PARTY TIME!!!! Please note: There are some photos of me so don't forget that the camera adds 10 lbs. Err, let's actually make that 20, okay?
We had coconut cupcakes, chocolate banana cupcakes, strawberry lemonade cupcakes, and plain cupcakes! Cupcake decorations by Etsy.
Because it was an afternoon party we just had snack mixes. My mom made six different flavored homemade snack mixes! Brown monkey is from Target, striped monkeys are from Toys R Us.
If you were ever wondering why I'm weird, it's because I was raised by a woman who is 40-something and thinks she should get in a jump jump that is supposed to hold two 3rd graders at best with a bunch of little kids. Yeah, woman in the red shirt is my mom. We have real good genes, mmm hmm. If I look like that when I'm a Grandma I will be SO happy!
5:15 p.m.: Everyone is gone and it is time to clean up, pack up the mother load of stuff the babies got and all the extra food. The twins are TIRED. Absolutely exhausted. So am I.
6:15 p.m.: We arrive back home and the babies are completely passed out. I know we need to wake them up to feed them but they are just so tired and they only had one nap today for an hour. We will wake them soon and feed them. Bedtime goal for me: ASAP!! My body physically aches from all the action today and I am so ready for bed. I can't believe I have two toddlers!
Looks like a great party! Congrats and Happy Birthday to the kiddos!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on this milestone!! You survived the first year! It just keeps getting better, by the way!! Very cute family photo! :-)
ReplyDeleteOK, honestly - in those adorable shots of them eating their cakes today - they really look older than they did in the pictures you posted Thursday with the cake smashing photos.
Damn low carb diet. The cakes look delish! And the monkey decorations are perfect!
Happy Birthday Ever!
Happy Birthday Ocean!
