Kids Are Asleep
And I'm STARVING! It's midnight on a Saturday, but I'm thinking about sneaking out to the grocery store to get some goodies.
My Sweetie
Genevieve went to work The Roots Family Picnic today at the Festival Pier in Philadelphia, and I got to stay home with the babies and be Mr. Mom. You'd be surprised, it went very well. I didn't get much accomplished, but we had a nice day, including a 2 HOUR nap with both kids. It's been kinda hot, so we spent most of the day in the house. Evan and I didn't go out to play until after dinner, when it was much cooler. The only problem then, is the gnats!

Special Treats
Tonight was the first time I heard Eliana laughing out loud while she was awake and it was the best sound ever. Thanks to her cousin Frankie, he had her laughing out loud tonight after dinner. He has a way with babies and with dogs too. He can make the baby talk up a storm, laugh out loud and even make Elvis "howl" like no one else can. We've heard Eliana laugh in her sleep but she's never laughed while awake like she was tonight. It was a very special treat.
Speaking of special treats, Evan had his very first Rita's water ice. Daddy took Evan and Elvis in the car down to Rita's and they came back with some very yummy yummy water ice. I think Evan enjoyed it, what do you think?
Evan was enjoying a Cherry Rita's Water Ice on a hot sunny day.

Birthday Morning -post by Mommy
Wow. What an exhausting day it was today. But so well worth every second of it. It was my baby boy's 2nd birthday. I can't believe Evan is already two years old. I can't believe Evan is only two years old. I think the main reason that today was so exhausting was because Evan was up at 5 am this morning. That and the fact that we're still recovering from this awful cold that we both caught. Pete and I were up all night planning and preparing for Evan's birthday. I thought it would be so great for him to wake up on the morning of his birthday to a room full of balloons. I just didn't realize that he'd be up at 5 am! He usually sleeps till around 9, but his sister, who usually wakes up when the sun comes up and the birds start chirping, woke him up this morning. Usually I can get her to go back to sleep, but when she opened her little eyes and saw all of the balloons her little legs started kicking and she started waving her arms in the air, she was so excited. I knew right away that I had to get her out of the room before she really started her cooing and squealing and waking up her brother. I made it to the doorway when I saw a little tousled haired boy sit up in his cribby. I was holding my breath trying not to make a sound hoping he'd lay back down. He sat for a minute then pointed up to one of the balloons and in a quiet sleepy voice said "smiley face!" and I knew there was no getting him back to bed any time soon. I'm glad that the first balloon he saw was the smiley faced one. The second smiley face he saw was his little sisters. He reached out for her, held her little face and gave her the nicest kiss a sleepy kid can with a binky still in his mouth. It felt like Christmas morning. Eliana and I just hung out on the bed while Evan danced around his room playing with his balloons. We ended the morning with "breakfast" in bed, and topped it off by going back to sleep. It was so much fun.
What do you mean it's too early for drums?
Evan's birthday "breakfast" in bed: 2 bottles, 2 night light buddies, 1 juice cup, 2 binkies, 1 bedtime story, Brobee, and strawberries.
