Okay, now let me recap last weekend. With D's birthday and Easter back to back, it was a whirlwind. I have to admit, I was not in the best of moods... I think I was WAY too overwhelmed.... Too much going on at one time for me to enjoy any of it. I tend to try to do too much all the time, and I always pay for it. This weekend will be packed full as well, but I won't be hosting the party, so I don't feel too stressed about it...
D chose a pirate theme for his sleepover... And his choice was awesome! He invited three boys from his class and four of his older friends to come to the party on Friday night. I think every single boy had a BLAST! I know they did in fact... They spent the entire party, dressed as pirates with eye patches, sword fighting inside, outside, and even upside down... It was mayhem, chaos, incredibly loud... They were having a ball! Meanwhile, I was nursing a mega headache, and attempting to keep myself from having a panic attack! Haha! I'm not kidding. There was one point when I seriously considered just driving away and leaving them all to fend for themselves... Thank God some of the other mothers stayed to help. Had I been alone, I surely would have taken a sword and slit my own throat... Just kidding of course... :) Anyhow, the party was a success. The younger boys left around 9pmish, then D, the older boys, and Little A all watched Pirates of the Caribbean
. Big A stayed for the party, but went to spend the night with a friend afterward... So it was just Little A and the boys. She was right there keeping up with them the entire time!! That girl was born to be a pirate!!!! The movie gave me some reprieve, but as soon as it was over the boys (and Little A) were up for another round of sword fighting! I wish I had a video camera... It was quite amazing. What is really amazing is that there was not a single injury the entire time! I think that is a first at one of my parties! Seriously. I have never hosted a birthday party without someone choking, getting hurt, or vomiting... And this was probably the most rambunctious party of all! So I guess it was a success!On Saturday, we celebrated D's birthday as a family... That boy racked up on the gifts! Saturday evening we went to The 57 Fighter Group to eat dinner. That is an AWESOME place to take a boy on his Birthday!!! D had a great time! The service wasn't the best, but the kids had a ball! We ate outside on the patio and watched the planes taking off well into the evening... After dinner, the kids went out and danced on the dance-floor for a while, then we all went home... Thankfully the kids were all exhausted, so the Easter Bunny was able to come extra early...
Sunday morning the kids were up at the crack of dawn to see what the Easter bunny had brought them! I had a houseful of happy, sugared up kids all Sunday! I was too tired to make the effort to got church for Easter service.... so we just chilled at home. In the afternoon we went to see Hop! It was an awesome movie! Definitely a good choice for Easter afternoon!!! So, the weekend was actioned packed, and exhausting, but the children had a great time! That is all that really matters, isn't it?
This week has been busy with work for me! THAT is a good thing.... Money is gettin' tight, so I need all the work I can get right now... I have gotten some important things accomplished that I have been putting off, and that makes me feel good. I have still got A LOT to do to get my life back in order, but I'm not feeling so overwhelmed and stressed right now. In fact I have been in a surprisingly good mood all week... Strange, I know... but I will take it! :)
