Yesterday was my birthday And just have to tell you haw perfect it was. Jacob spoiled me rotten. He took the day off work which was a present by itself to have him home. He got up with the kids and let me sleep in. I took full advantage of that and slept until after 9:00. Well of course I was up at 6:50 to feed Giles but I went back to sleep no problemo.
After showering and dressing and beautifying we headed out for some family adventures. First to cafe rio - my fav - for a big lunch since all I had eaten for breakfast was an orange. I like the word 'adventures' because to me it means that the outing will have its little challenges but that's part of the fun. Well lunch was incredible. Their pork salads are so good. The poor boys though. Chayla spilled a whole cup of water in Jacob's lap and Giles drooled most of his drinks down the front of his shirt. So we left a little wet bit with happy tummies.
Next we headed over to BYU for adventure 2 - parking. Have you ever parked at byu? It's awful. Well it turns out that there is visitor parking right in front of the MOA that we have actually used before but it still took about 15 min of frustrated driving around to get there. The exhibit we went to see is called Heroes and Monsters and it was a lot of fun. Chayla wanted to touch everything of course. She was especially excited to see spiderman and superman. My favorite pieces were the ones that showed parents as superheroes and superheroes as parents. One painting had a mom dressed as superman holding a little boy with the words for laundry, dishes and housework on the sides. Another one showed snow white and prince charming in a normal living room with 4 kids , TV on, toys on the floor, chip on the table and snow holding 2 babies in diapers. I also liked the monster exhibit that talked about monsters being misunderstood and heroes being the monsters to the monsters. Interesting.
It was really fun to be on campus and we let Chayla run around for a minute with some neighbors who happened to be in the courtyard outside.
Then we went home for adventure #3 - Naptime. We wrestled Chayla into her pajamas, read her a story, got Giles down, and snuggled up on the couch for an afternoon nap. We all slept for about 2 hours. It was another great birthday present.
We played with the kids for a while and then Jacob made whole wheat waffles for dinner at my request. And chocolate chocolate chip cookies with cookies and cream. Yum! What a great day. Thanks honey.
