They say it's my birthday...

It's Boog's birthday too!  Actually, for what I think is the first time ever it is also the day of Boog's birthday party.  So here we are- I am 31 ripe old years and he is a whopping 6 years old.  I don't know where the time went!  I do know where today went though.  Well, sort of...

A great portion of today went to yesterday.  Clear as mud?  Let me explain.  Since today is a Sunday that meant that I could take Saturday to set up for the birthday party and not have to stress out on party day, right?  Well, that is what I thought at least.  I waited until the boys went to bed and then Kiddo, Hubby and I started decorating and baking and assembling.  If I am being precise I should say that Kiddo and I started baking and decorating while Hubby did some assembling.  We worked and worked and worked.  Hubby took a nap and I took a few breaks to feed Will but overall we just kept working.  The next thing I knew I could see the sun starting to come up.  We seriously worked until 7:30 am. 

I took a quick nap and then we started working on the outside.  My parents arrived early (thank goodness) and played with the boys while Kiddo, Hubby and I kept on trucking.  After a quick shower it was party time.  There was not a moment to spare! 

If I do say so myself, it was a great party.  The kids had their little race outside just as Boogie had requested.  The kids loved all the cars stuff set up everywhere.  The house was full and it was fun.  The menu, aside from the cake, was simpler than usual but it was exactly what Boog had asked for.  The cake was also just what Boog had asked for.  He had carrot cupcakes and a funfetti cake topped with a brownie which is something he designed himself.  To top it off was a huge Lego set from his Gigi and Pop Pop that Hubby had spent most of the night setting up.  He loved it.  I think most of all he loved having his friends here. 

The day was a resounding success, except I was kind of lost in it.  My parents got me a present and so did Kiddo.  My in-laws gave me my real present when Will was born and I use it daily.  But somehow, for the first time ever, it bothered me a bit to not have my birthday matter at all.  And now it's the end of the day and my body is mad at me for not sleeping.  Kiddo had a bit of a cold when she got here and she has passed it on to me I think.  So hey, I guess she gave me two things today!
