We had the grandparents (all 4) and Uncle Andy and cousin Levi over on Friday night to help celebrate Audrey's birthay. I'd planned on doing it this coming weekend, but Eric and I will be heading out to (hopefully) sunny, warm Las Vegas next weekend! The party wasn't anything big - we ordered pizzas and had a My Little Pony cake from Walmart (Audrey loves horsies!). She very much enjoyed opening her presents, though I'm worried that she's going to start expecting them every 3 weeks or so! I guess that's the bad thing about having a birthday so close to Christmas. All in all it was a fun evening and the kids had a great time. .jpg)
Last night we invited some friends from church (Steve, Amber, and their 2.5 year old son Brendan) over for dinner and to play some cards. I found a recipe for Brown Sugar Chicken (for the crockpot), made some rice and corn, and even pulled out the bread maker to make some bread! Yum. Another fun evening - the boys ran themselves silly around the house while Aud did her own thing. I tried to put her in bed somewhere around the normal time but she was having none of it, so she didn't get to bed until close to 10.
I don't know what time Audrey first woke up (I'm thinking somewhere after 12) but it was the first of many times last night. Either she was just super over-tired or not feeling good (or both!) but I was up at least 4 - 5 times with her during the night. We tried lying in our bed, lying in the spare bed, lying on the couch downstairs - you name it. In all 3 different locations we'd be there for a little bit, fall alseep for a few minutes, then she'd pop up and say "Done!", meaning she was ready to go back to her crib. So I'd put her back in and get back to my bed just in time to hear her start crying again. Ugh. I don't know what time it was when I brought Aud back to my bed, but I guess we were crowding Eric out because he took off for the couch downstairs. When Conner woke me up a little after 8, Aud was sleeping like a baby (finally) and didn't wake up until 9. Conner was really cute - he came in because he'd gone potty and was having trouble getting his pj's back on (they were inside out). He asked me what he should do downstairs because Daddy was down there sleeping on the couch. I told him it was ok to go down and turn the tv on, but to keep it pretty quiet. He seemed happy with that answer!
Aud was definitely ready for a nap when we got home from church (she actually kept saying "nap" on the way home in the car!). I'd rented the movie Iron Man and it was due by 7 today, so after lunch the 3 of us sat to watch it, then Eric took off for his weekly trip to do the food shopping. At some point during the afternoon, Conner started complaining (and then crying) that his head hurt - I'm not sure I've ever heard him talk of a headache before! We were all out of Children's Tylenol (it was on Eric's list) and Conner actually fell asleep on the couch waiting for Daddy to get home with his medicine. Poor little guy. He definitely felt much better after getting some pain-killer!
Right now it's almost midnight - I've heard Audrey a couple of times since she went to bed, but nothing like last night, and nothing that I've had to go in her room about. Here's hoping for a good night's sleep tonight!
