Oh Riley...

So this is Riley's idea of taking a nap. She likes to play for a few minutes before she sleeps but this was a little bit excessive. She had also taken out all the kids piggy banks out of the closet and emptied them on the floor. So when I went to get her after naps I saw the mess and told her that I would love to have her join us in the living room when the mess was cleaned. So I closed the door and a little bit later I came to check on her and this is what I find... She had totally fallen asleep! But I mean who could blame her that is a huge mess she made during nap time, who wouldn't be tired after all that? Needless to say she finally finished cleaning it 10 minutes before bedtime, so she could eat dinner. Once again,
Oh Riley!!

Seth Had A Birthday, Shout Hooray!!

Seth turned 5 yesterday! He requested Chinese food for his dinner. So I asked him if he knew what that was and he said no. When I listed all his favorite foods as options for dinner he insisted on Chinese. So I made egg rolls (no easy feat w/ 4 kids, it takes 2-3 hours). The bite you see in his mouth is the only bite he ate. Silly goober, I asked if he had heard about Chinese food somewhere and he told me a girl at school was talking about how she loved it. Well the egg rolls were yummy, even if he didn't want them.
The only thing he asked for as a present was a "ball and glove and a bat too if that's okay". So Eliott went and got him all set for baseball! He has never used a t-ball stand before but he caught on right away. He was hitting the ball across the yard on the second swing! When all was said and done he had a fun birthday and on Saturday gets to go to Peter Piper Pizza w/ a couple friends so he is all set. He did have a little confusion about how long his birthday was, he cried when he found out I couldn't go to school w/ him because he thought his day only lasted while he was at school. Oh a little side note, at school they make a birthday crown for the birthday kid but they ran out of time (he said) and couldn't make him one, so Eliott made his little crown before dinner.
