Super Saturday

Today was a wonderfully fun day. Now I sit and remember the fun little moments that make life what it is....

As I sit on my duff, eyeing the pico I made earlier, smelling the blueberry muffins I managed to burn, my boy runs out looking to have his back scratched. So I'll do that first and then write about our day!

Okay now that's done and it's back to our day...

We woke up, late for some reason. It was after 8 this morning. I got up and changed a stinky icky diaper. Can't wait till #3 is potty trained. Oh wait then he won't be a baby. Okay leave him a baby for a bit longer. Everyone was in great moods right away. It is such a nice way to start the day. I made coffee, milks and breakfast. All 3 get a milk within minutes of their feet hitting the floor. L and S switch cups each day. One day one gets a tractor cup and the other a Cars Car cup then the next day they switch. J isn't in the rotation yet since he can't holler about having the tractor cup :-) I showered quickly and dressed J and ran to the post office. My sis sent me a package and I had to sign for it. It was fun taking J along, or not. I took him the other day too when I got a new phone at Verizon. He can be such a little devil. Very vocal and doesn't listen too well. I think he might be more like his Mama than the other 2. YIKES! So we got the package and hurried back home to get ready for a birthday part this afternoon. J took a nap while Daddy Piper did some truck work with L & S. I rounded up L & S and got them dressed for the party. I had to wake up J. Oh boy - he wasn't too happy about that, not one little bit. He fussed and cried and howled in dispute of the waking up. He has a very strong personality - I think that is good description of him. Everyone got ready and I ran back to lock the garage door and threw out my back. It is the second time this has happened in the past 2 weeks. I am still in pain. I have no idea what to do about it!

Off to the party we go. It was loads of fun to hang out with friends for a few hours - even being in pain. Our friends just bought a new home. It is soo gorgeous! L & S ran in and made themselves at home. J had fun, running around and being pushed in a little red car thing with a handle. We had lunch, cake & ice cream and more than that - we had fun. Fellowship time with people we both enjoy being with. We did skip out a bit early due to my back. I wanted to get home and take a hot bath and some tylenol or something. L wasn't happy about leaving but she left without much fuss. We had a problem yesterday with the attitude when it was time to leave the park. Today I was proud of her. She was upset but left anyway. She was able to sell some more Girl Scout cookies while we there :-)

Home for naps and Mama to get some back relief. J fell asleep about a block after we left. When we got home, Daddy Piper got him settled back down, L & S went right down for naps, I got a hot bath and laid on the couch. We all fell asleep, all five of us, and slept until 5 o'clock, for about 3 hours!!! We woke up to the Cardinals losing their game - darn them!

The rest of the night went well. I am now sitting here listening to J talk from his room and L & S giggle and chat from their room. The next thing to is to move J into their room. They feel bad he's all alone. We had another conversation about #4 today. L thinks it is a done deal. She is already planning out how things will be. I had to warn her that it might not happen. Daddy Piper thinks he is done. I don't think I am. Financially it's a VERY bad time to even be thinking about it but who knows what next year will bring!!

Now I am shutting this computer off and hitting the sack. J will be up soon, looking for his nightly milk :-)
