We get to celebrate 3 birthdays in the span of 35 days.
First is Charl's. He turned 36 on april 24. He had a pre-birthday celebration with his family because his parents and his oldest nephews and niece were in Hawaii on the actual day. He got all the things he asked for: food storage stuff, landscape fabric, and a gift card to Home Depot (he loves that place!) We ate a great meal and had cheesecake for dessert. On his actual birthday, I tried to make a fun evening, but it didn't quite go as planned. I put the kids down for naps and I blew up a few balloons began making enchiladas. Just after I finished making the filling, Andersen woke up screaming (he'd only been asleep for 45 minutes). I went up to see what was wrong and he wouldn't stop screaming. This was out of the norm for him, so I figured he was in pain. I ended up taking him to the doctor and he had an ear infection. So I only got beat Charl home by about 15 minutes, just enough time to get the enchiladas put together and in the overn. I quickly made a salad and we eventually had a nice dinner, but I never got around to decorating with balloons and streamers. Andersen felt better after getting some medicine and we all enjoyed ice cream to end the evening. (One thing I leared from this day is that I can go places with 2 babies if I absolutely have to! Thanks for being a great baby, Holly. ) I slacked on getting him a gift because I don't like taking the kids to stores by myself, so I had him buy new dress shirts at Park City a week later. (I'll do better next year.)
