Party day

We're celebrating today. Miss M's 7th birthday (the 22nd) and the K Man's 5th birthday (the 29th). I think it is by design that I birthed these two children in July, so that when they are driving me completely insane with the fighting and the tattling and the whiiiiiining I am smacked in the face with celebrating these gifts I have been given.

Today will be chaotic and tiring and fun and over before I know it. Tonight, my two big kids will have 4836 new things that we currently have no room for anywhere in our home. They will be full of sugar and exhausted and sassing and deliriously happy.

I will think the party went okay, but be slightly bummed that something didn't go as planned (something no one else noticed or cared about). I will make mental notes for next year, if the kids consent to another shared party.

I will sit in my chair at the end of the day and marvel that my two July babies are another year older and wonder where the time went.

If I were your friend in IRL and invited to the party, I would give M & K each a pair of new pajamas and a book. Not the coolest gifts, but they don't typically make the parents groan and the kids grow to love them more each week.

I hope your party goes well & the kids have a blast. Happy birthday to them both. I know they grow up too fast

It's a miracle you've still got them hooked into sharing a birthday party. My sis and I wouldn't have consented to that for all the money in the western hemisphere.
I'm sure it will be a fabulous day! Make sure to enjoy yourself!!
