Birthdays

Sunday! A whole new week and I am determined that this will be a fun filled, busy week. So, there was some fun stuff this last week too, so let's get to that. As previously mentioned, Saul turned 4. He is awesome to watch due to his unbridled passion for just about anything presented to him. We met up at Pizza Hut and took up one half of the restaurant. We ended up taking the party outside to open presents. It is so much easier to not contain them. Saul loved his presents. He received some great new clothes from Grandma and a really neat tool set. I opted for a bag of miscellaneous items that he loved. Bananas, punch balloons, a walking dog and Reeses. All of the kids were super impressed by his own Reeses, that did not need to be shared and now I know what they will all be getting for Christmas.

My mom wisely chose the Costco cupcake route. There is seriously about 2 cups of frosting on the top. Olive ate it all and chucked the cake.
Malachi had me hold his so that he could lick his fingers in between bites.
Baby Seven was in the house. Barely fitting into his clothes. He is HEAVY. Siobhan could hardly believe it.
I still call him Seven, but mom has started calling him the Cabbage Patch. Very fitting. Last night we went to Red Robin. Pete and I had never been there before. We don't usually eat out but this move has closed our kitchen down. Oscar had earned some gift certificates last year so we decided to cash in. When the waiter came over and asked if we had ever been there and understood the menu, we both said no. He stopped for a breath, then looked at me oddly. Again I said I hadn't and then he asked, and I quote "Are you being sarcastic?" Loved it. Apparently we are the only Americans to have not eaten there. I also had a doctors appointment this week. When the nurse came in to send me on my way she would not look at me, it was so odd. So I left and after getting to the parking garage realized my embroidered shirt was on backwards. And inside out. The pockets were flapping all over and I still cannot believe that she let me leave like that.
My final item today is a birthday wish to Rosanna Rae. Happy First Birthday! I seriously cannot wait to see her again. She is such a fun,smart girl. So entertaining. We are all thinking of you today Rosanna, have a fun day. We love you!
