So I’m going to back-track a bit and try to recreate this post from the Fourth of July which I didn’t publish due to a computer glitch and for some odd reason didn’t even save. Argh.
Over the holiday weekend we did yard work, straightened the house and did general packing/prepping for our trip. On Friday night (the 3rd) we took the kids into town for the fireworks, which were lovely and the perfect length for the kiddos (about 20-30 min). Ajax was a little nervous leading up to the show (as he’s still a bit skittish around loud noises), but both kids ended up loving them with lots of Ohhs and Ahhs.
On Saturday, my parents came over and we did an early birthday party for Noomi. For dinner Noomi requested spaghetti with meatballs. She also did not want a cake, but requested cake cookies – like I had made for the baby shower. Ajax was very confused on why someone would chose spaghetti for their birthday meal and not chicken nuggets and mac/cheese – which has been his standing requested birthday meal. We also did sprinkle pancakes for breakfast and both kids loved those. My parents also brought over a little blow up pool which the kids loved and played in all weekend.
On Sunday, we packed and did some last minuted shopping for our North Carolina trip. Rod came down to babysit on Monday so that we could all get an early start on Tuesday. Oh Ajax also lost another tooth! He is now missing his two front teeth and is speaking with a slight lisp.
