This week started off as a normal week with the exception that it happened to be my youngest daughters birthday . I was so excited to be celebrating a milestone birthday with her, she was finally turning 5 (LOL) . I know but it was a big deal considering they were babies for like 6 years together , seriously. If you don’t get it it just means that one will be in the 1st grade , one in Kindergarten and one in pre kindergarten . To me that was worth a celebration . So I decided to take them all to the movies . Our first choice was Smurfs but since it was at the smaller theater we settled for Beauty and the Beast.
They were so excited to be heading into the movies. The girls had gone before on separate occasions but it was the first time for the last one. He was thrilled about the popcorn and the gummies, he couldn’t get enough of the video games . So after I gave my left pinky toe to get us all in the movies with all the fixings it was time for us to walk into the movies. Thankfully it was 12 PM and there was no one else in there but us because things turned quickly after that.
As soon as we walked into the movies nobody knew how to walk and carry their items. So I had to carry everybody’s snack pack along with all of the other things that I didn’t need with me as I tried to prepare for all conditions of their first movie experience. And trust me I didn’t need any of that…I probably needed a switch or something of the sort.
Needless to go into all the details but one kid screamed when HE saw the screen , one claimed that her seat was swallowing her and one asked me was she eating salt chunks. All they talked about for months was going to the movies having their own popcorn and relaxing in their own chairs. All my dreams of a happy birthday seemed to be diminishing. We left after one hour and 10 seconds into the movie, oh and 3 bathroom breaks.
All had not failed we still had about a week to celebrate because Pk’s birthday was next and she was turning 6 in 3 days . That afternoon the birthday girl was blessed with an ice cream cake in her favorite color. They both received baby alive dolls ( with only one diaper) And this baby pees like no other. And then we had an impromptu party , with hats and other party appropriate things. ( pictures are posted on my personal facebook page)
We partied till Friday and then I looked at the gifts that I had bought them and wondered how a barbie that they just got less than 2 hours ago looked more like an old drunk and remember those baby alive’s they received on Monday , they ran out of diapers on Tuesday and Wednesday we had to buy more bc if you feed them they will poop or pee and that’s not happening on the floor or on my couch. No I didn’t buy those 6 baby alive diapers for $10 I purchased a pack of new born diapers , parents choice. Those babies have not been fed since Thursday.
Thursday was Pk’s Birthday … 16 fun filled pink and purple bags with play doh , pencils and Pk’s favorite chocolates went to school that morning. Pk had a classmate that shared the same birthday so I didn’t have to send cupcakes to school so we had cupcakes at home for cousins and brothers. We experience a cold front that day with rain so we planned to continue the celebration Friday with a trip to Chickfila and Toys R us. She had already made her mind up on what she and her baby sister wanted on their birthday . Piece of cake …I love easy to please kids .
The cute little tutu cupcakes I had sat up for months looking for and finally found the perfect mixture of their personalities on a cupcake …tumbled over weighed down by icing and the car ride from the shop to the house . Did I mention that my girls don’t like cake or icing…or bread. So yea next year will will buy a fruit tray with candles. But the candles were a hit and the cupcakes were delicious ! They just loved the colors, Go Figure!
Thinking of next year already. Thanks to everyone we love the most for the beautiful gifts we had a blast.
