Happy Mother's Day!

Sadie had a wonderful birthday. We hung out at home, and weren't able to have our families over because B was still sick. But we had a pizza and chocolate cupcake party; well, the girls only had a pizza party because they were really tired. Sadie had visits from Marme, Attie, and Katie. She loved the balloons and gifts they brought--and so did B. On Thursday B seemed to be feeling better so I ventured out to Walmart--total nightmare--they both whined and cried the whole time. Marme watched the girls while I did some last minute preparations for Sadie's birthday party. On Thursday night we went to eat at Salvo's with Gumbo, Bee, Katie, and Peter A. It was my and the girls' first time there. B ate a bunch of crawfish while Sadie was more interested in the saltines. I accidentally gave S a spicy hushpuppy and her little face turned red and she started grabbing her tongue. Oops! On Friday B went back to school. On the way there she kept saying, "I can't wait to see my friends! I can't wait!" She hadn't been to school in a week. S and I did some errands then met up with Attie and Lawson to hit the Bin Sale Preview at Orient Expressed. There were so many cute dresses; it was hard to choose. Bee treated the girls to a dress each--thanks, Bee! The girls have some precious dresses for the fall. On Friday afternoon for the first time the girls napped for 2 hours AT THE SAME TIME!!! It was amazing; I got some things done and was able to relax for a bit. I'm hoping that our sleep issues with S are over. A few weeks ago we started putting them down at night at the same time. S used to cry for a while, but it's gotten better every night and tonight she didn't cry at all.

On Saturday we had Sadie's party at the Children's Museum. Everything went so well, and everyone had a good time. Sadie had fun and loved eating her cake. Momma Lady and Grandpa brought the most incredible cake I have ever seen. Thanks a bunch! And thanks to our families for their help--I was not stressed out and got to chat with everyone and enjoy the party. Last night we went to Lakeview Harbor with the Carvilles for dinner. I love that place--from the honey dawlin waitresses to the delicious blue cheese dressing.

I had an awesome Mother's Day. I slept till 9 then Peter picked up PJ's and I had iced coffee and leftover birthday cake for breakfast--yum! Peter and the girls gave me sweet cards and a gift certificate to Life Boutique--I can't wait to use it. I went to lunch and shopping with Marme, Attie, and Katie. I found cute bedrails for B when she moves to her big girl bed. I'm thinking that day may come soon because the other day she had her leg propped up on the side of her crib and she looked like she was about to climb out. It was a great day and now my crew is asleep. I'm going to head to bed soon.

Tidbits:

--B told me tonight "Mommy, you're not a child. I'm a child."
--When B got behind the wheel of Sadie's new pink car she said, "Come ON, people. Just let me GO!" Um, I wonder where she got that from...
--Sadie loves "Twinkle, Twinkle" and does "twinkle fingers" when B and I sing it.
--We were watching videos of when S was a tiny baby and B kept trying to talk to me in the videos and she was answering the questions that I was asking on the videos. She thought it was the coolest thing ever.
--B has been telling P and I that she loves us a lot lately. So sweet.
