My little Chloe turned 5 last week. I think we celebrated the whole damn week. 3 or 4 parties later we have survived. The outlaws and the in laws all were in attendance which in itself is a small miracle. It was wonderful weather and we all had a great time. The kids and their dad came and they decided to act like 3 and 4 years olds, so they didn't get to stay as long as they wanted. I am ready just to relax now. The reason for all the parties? Every year we end up jipping Chloe of a real birthday party because some one has a party to attend. Her birthday is always around Memorial day and she always gets the raw end of the deal. But NO MORE! We (Chad and I) have decided she is our baby, we will do for her and if no one likes it, there will be a party anyway with just the 3 of us.
With the weekend coming to a close. It has been tiring and we are exhausted. We are not used to staying up all night and acting like teenagers. But we did and we survived. If we could do it three nights in a row? No way!! We know we are old and we enjoy the comfort of our own bed.
We did however enjoy a wonderful weekend of fishing. We had great company as my brother in law and sister in law (Darrin and Rene) came down and we headed to Mississenewa. It was a good time. The fish were biting like crazy but Darrin and I didn't catch shit, while Chad and Rene decided they just couldn't get enough! Grrrr. Darrin and I have made a plan to sabotage the next fishing trip, so that we may get a chance!
I miss having fun with my older kids, but they are in a stage where fighting is the game. Their dad has made it his priority this weekend so I don't have to worry... Poor him. Don't you just love the teenage years. And no I wasn't that bad!
Happy Memorial Day!
