We had a great day today. We got up this morning and I made breakfast tacos. Daddy continued to work on the tile in the front hallway (even though he had a bad back that was nearly killing him). Tate played quietly most of the day while Julian followed behind. I went to the gym and picked up a couple of bargains at a garage sale on the way home. When I got back, I made the boys lunch and we went outside to play. Tate road his tricycle and scooter around and had fun while Julian and I cheered him on by yelling, “On your mark, get set, GO!!!” and then he would race down the driveway. After that, we all piled in the car, and I took the boys up to get the car washed. When we got out, Tate came around the side where I was opening the door to get Julian out and bumped his head. He didn’t cry, although he wanted to. It looked like it hurt. He even fell over from the door hitting him. Poor little guy! He now has a red bump on his eye brow. Hope it goes away tmw. After we got out of the car, we headed next door to sonic and got an ice cream while we waited on our car to be cleaned. It was a lot of fun. Julian especially enjoyed the ice cream. Tate had a few bites, but was more interested in the BIG HUGE MONSTER TRUCK sitting in front of us and wanted to eat the peppermints they gave us. After we finished, we headed back to the car wash and picked up our car. It looked so nice and clean. I told Tate we needed to do our best to keep the car clean and he seemed really interested in helping me do that. We’ll see how long that lasts.
Fortunately, they both fell asleep on the way home, and I was able to run inside and get Thomas and we headed out to a birthday party for a friend’s 4 year old son. The boys slept while I ran into Target and bought the present. when we got to the party, there was a bouncy house. Tate normally hates those, but this time he really enjoyed himself. We had pizza and cake and Tate thoroughly enjoyed playing with the toys and watching the clown. Julian immediately went for the crust of my pizza and was thoroughly content sitting and chewing on it for what seemed like an eternity. Tate got a motorcycle made out of a balloon from the clown and that really impressed him. The clown asked him if wanted to have his face painted, and he said “Yes” and sat down in the chair. I knew that wouldn’t last long. After the clown got all of the make up on Tate’s face, Tate’s lips puckered and he ran to me bawling and trying to rub it off. We had to quickly run upstairs and attempt to get all the face paint off to avoid a scene. It came off rather easily. Julian was really tired, but with all the hoopla, there was no way I would have been able to get him to sleep, so I kept having to carry him around. He finally settled down when he noticed the helium balloons in the air. He began to play with one and it was so cute. He had so much fun grabbing that balloon and was completely entertained. He has been super fussy lately with a really runny nose and lots of congestion, so it was nice to see hiim in good spirits.
On the way home, both boys played with their balloons in the back seats until Julian started to fuss because he was so tired. Tate finally looked over at him and said, “Julian! Just stop crying and take a nap!” lol
All in all, it was a really nice day. I hope Thomas’s back feels better tmw. The boys continue to grow more and more each day and I am amazed at their personalities. I love them so much!
