Come on in and have some coffee with me. I really need to have some this morning. I’m totally exhausted.
If we were having coffee today, I would tell you about Anderson’s birthday party. It was yesterday. For once, we didn’t have a lot of kids. There are some that always come because their parents are friends with Anderson’s mom and dad but I think thse friendships are changing, distancing, so those people were not invited this year and that was fine. Most of the kids from his school didn’t come but his little girlfriend came (her name is Kourtney) and a couple of the other kids. So we ended up with four “big kids” (3 1/2 to 5 years old) and two little kids (2 or almost 2). Plus parents for all the kids. It was more fun that way. Anderson got to spend time with all of the kids and they played and watched the Lego Movie. I had prepared games for them and we played a couple of them. They liked that and they liked getting prizes for the games! Pinata time was fun, although Anderson refused to take a swing at the pinata this year. Cake and ice cream and presents were all fun and like clockwork, everyone was ready to walk out the door right at 4. Everyone left at the same time and we were left to just relax. I finally made it home about an hour later and promptly fell asleep for the rest of the day, not waking up until about 9 last night!
If we were having coffee, I would tell you about a movie I saw last night, after my long post-party nap. It wasn’t anything I had heard of but it was on the Recently Added to Prime list on Amazon so I gave it a try, mostly because I love Martin Sheen. It’s called Wrinkles and is a feature length animated movie from Spain, dubbed into English. It’s about life in a retirement home. It has a good story with the two main characters. If you get a chance to watch it, I would recommend it.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that today I can just veg out and read blogs. I’m behind and I’m not “on call” with the boys today. Their other grandparents are visiting from Tacoma so I won’t be needed over there today. I need the day off so that’s good. It will be a hectic week coming up so I’m glad for a bit of a breather today. At some point I’ll need to go get some of my stuff from my daughter’s house. I took game stuff and prizes and my helium tank and balloons. I also took a lot of extra stuff that she might need. It will all have to come back later today, or maybe tomorrow. I really don’t want to deal with it today but I don’t want it in her way, either.
What have you been up to? Do you remember a special birthday or birthday party? I never had a birthday party until the year I turned 40 and hosted one for myself. Do you have any movie recommendations for me? And of course, we can’t close up without talking about the weather. How is yours? Ours is changing. We have had a few beautifully clear days. Today it’s gorgeous out but my thermometer tells me that it is only 38 degrees out there so I think I’ll stay in, grab another cup of coffee, and wrap my blanket around me after you leave.
I hope your week is productive and that you find some time to laugh and have a bit of fun!
“Divergent” is a good movie on amazon prime right now, I love “Side Effects” too. I’m also watching the Orphan black tv show, pretty good! 😀
That’s a cute poster you made! My little one absolutely loves singing that everything is awesome song at me!

Thanks for the recommendations. I’ve heard good things about Divergent.
Yup, that Lego ad was in a magazine I was ripping up for crafts before recycling and I knew I could do something with it so I saved it. It came in handy because Lego had not licensed the Lego Movie for any products other than t shirts and the toys so we had to make all our own decorations and favors.

Thank you. It all went well. When I left, he was already working on putting together one of the Lego sets he got as gifts! He was a happy boy.

Glad Anderson had a good birthday! My husband says he never had a party when he was a child. But as an adult him and his dad would host a big bash together each year for their birthdays. His is 7/14 and his dad’s was 7/16. His dad passed away a little over a year before we had our Hannah Bug. She had to be cesarean so we got to choose to have her on 7/16! And she was named after her pawpaw who was Hannon.
We spent last night in the ER with her. She fainted and hit her head on a desk which bust it open. Everything checked out okay at the ER and they put 17 staples in her head. Today, I ran the errands I didn’t get to yesterday and vacuumed for the first time since…well, I’m not telling.

I’m so sorry to hear about Hannah’s injury but glad she’s okay. I really hate when one of my little ones gets hurt. We had Anderson in the emergency room with a bad cut on his foot about a month ago. Just a foot but scary still, especially when you know they are terrified. He had a great party, by the way. Now we do it all again in four weeks for Spencer who will turn 2 on the 3rd of April. Yay. Then no more until next March 7! I only have the two grandchildren.

Happy birthday to the birthday boy! Nice job, grandma! I much prefer the smaller more intimate parties, even kids parties…especially kids parties!

Happy birthday to the young man… Intimate is best when it comes to parties these days. I can remember chaos at kid’s parties in my past. Keeping it from getting out of control is an art.
