Party Time

We had a little party for the twins first birthday (which is tomorrow) There were 15 kids there! Our basement was a mad house. The twins started the day pretty darn grouchy, but recovered well and were able to enjoy being held and cooed over. They also enjoyed one of their favorite meals – Sloppy Joes. When cake time came, both of the boys just looked at their pieces and couldn’t figure out what to do. Then Patrick flung off some of his frosting onto the floor just as Luke was realizing that it was something yummy to eat. They both polished off their pieces in record time, once the eating began!

Patrick: "Wanna hug?"

Luke: "All done! Is there any more?"

Patrick: "Hey, Luke, try licking the plate, like this."

The cake. No, of course I didn't make it.

The whole day before, Joe was asking about the cake. He had seen it in the fridge and knew he didn’t want to miss out. We’d ask what he wanted for lunch, a quesadilla or peanut butter sandwich. “Cake!” was the only answer we’d get. Later in the day, he came up to me and said, “I’m so hungry, Mommy. I know, I want some cake!” Oh, okay. We’ll see what we can do about that.
