Randomness of the day...

1.  Putting a 100piece Disney puzzle together by myself, well started out putting 2 others together with Paul and the kids but by the third they were done.  Guess I wasn't cause I wanted to see the damn pic and I liked it!!

2. Walking in on a conversation that my dad and boyfriend were having...
     Dad-"so they say its good to massage breasts cause it helps prevent breast cancer"
     Paul-"see Ingrid, I should massage yours more"
     I roll my eyes
     Paul-"your dad is pretty much giving me permission to play anytime"
     I roll my eyes again
     Dad-"yep, pretty much true"

3. My 3 1/2 month old attempting to feed from my stepmom, as in latching to her shirt and leaving a small wet spot!  That's my boy, he's a boobie man like his daddy!!

4. Lilly walking with a cup of kool aid, spills some on her foot, sits on the ground and licks her toes, then precedes to take off her flip flop and lick it to...and the whole time I just sat there staring with a smile on my face and shaking my head!!  Oh the life of a 4 year!!

5. Neighbor's outside grilling some t-bones tells Paul they are his Fathers Day t-bones, Paul responds Ingrid's going to get her t-bone tonight!!  And once again I roll my eyes!!

Overall today was a great day spent with great people(my dad, stepmom, sister, Paul and the kids) in honor of celebrating Fathers Day!!  Many great memories and lots and lots of laughs!!

Happy Father's Day!!

Over this past year I've watched you with Rylan and Lilly and I see the joy they have in their eyes every time you are around.  They love spending time with you, whether its wrestling around or reading.  I also love that you take time to spend with them individually so that they each feel special.

In February we added another child to the bunch and I've seen your love grow to include a new baby but never lessen for the first 2.  I could not ask for a better partner to raise a family with.  You are a true role model to all 3 kids.  It makes me so happy to know you love being a father just as much as I love being a mother. 

So that being said, I want to wish a Happy Father's Day to a wonderful Daddy and to all the other wonderful dads out there!!

Love,

Ingrid

 

 

Lilly's 4th Birthday Extravaganza

So today started early...around 630am.  Both kids were up earlier than normal(maybe excited for the party) but both needed to sleep a little more(hence at nap around 11am).  Paul got up with them which allowed me to sleep for another hour or so before I got up.  It was a big day today, with lots to get done before 3pm!!

Paul prepped his ribs(did I mention he's awesome) for Father's Day tomorrow and let me tell you they smell so delicious.  I almost had him smoke them today instead but all kids just wouldn't appreciate them the way my parents and ourselves will tomorrow!



I started on the cake, we'll the icing part!  I was smart enough to bake it yesterday so that saved time this morning.  Thank god cause it was so humid(even with the AC on) that the damn icing wouldn't stick to the cake.  Shh, don't tell anyone but I used my fingers to apply most of the icing.  For some reason it stuck that way!!  (I did wash my hands good first) Its been a year since I've made a cake, not my best but not to shabby!!



Another piece of the party was the decor, but lucky for me I was able to use the lanterns I made for her party last year.  So this year all I had to make was the tissue paper pom poms(I'll post a link to those later, but thank you Martha Stewart!!)



As time was getting closer to 3, I started to panick a little.  I still needed to finish the cake then take a shower.  Cake done, shower go...got out and finished putting my hair up at 2:58!!  Not too shabby!! Our guests arrived and the kids enjoyed playing outside for a while.  They were all begging to have cake so I brought it outside but a storm rolled in and the candles wouldn't stay lit so back inside we went!

 

We all sang happy birthday, then Lilly opened her presents...then I was done!  My energy gone...so now it's only 7pm and I'm laying in bed on a Saturday night blogging before going to sleep to start another long day tomorrow.



So until then Zzzzzzzz
