Anyone notice any similarities here? Two peas in a pod, aren’t they? Today my son turned 10. Last weekend my husband turned…well, it was
his birthday. We had a party for them
both today with both sides of our families.
It was a nice day together. I
just wish the cleaning fairy would arrive soon and do something about this mess
so we can start all over again tomorrow for Easter. Good thing it’s spring break!
Yes, wouldn't it be lovely if the cleaning fairy would come? But what a happy family day! Thanks for sharing...the before/after lists did a good job of telling the story!
ReplyDeleteAnd it is hard to believe there's only one more day of the March challenge! Are you continuing on
Tuesdays?
Yes, I will be continuing on Tuesdays! I love the March challenge but the promise of Tuesday slicing gives me something to look forward to. See you there?
DeleteLove the parties - hate the prep and aftermath..it makes me tired! I do realize that family celebrations are worth all the work? Happy birthday to both of your guys!
ReplyDeleteI guess the difference is in the size of the boys and how expensive their toys are. Love those lists! Sorry the cleaning fairy doesn't drop in more often. It would be nice. Where did this month go?
ReplyDeleteAnother post that makes me take a deep breath and want to nap. I never even got out of my pjs today. Put my clothes right over top to do what I needed to do out in the world.
ReplyDeleteI think you need a group of cleaning fairies from the sound of this partying! Happy birthday to both. And will look forward to seeing you on Tuesdays! Happy Easter, Robin!
