Day 147: The REAL Birthday

So today is the day. The day I turn 31 and my oh my how fast the year went. I can still remember celebrating 30, just newly pregnant with Eva-cakes and being surrounded by so many wonderful friends and family. I remember then saying how I was going to make sure to celebrate my "real 30th" next year when I wasn't pregnant. In fact, there was going to be two of us celebrating our 1st anniversary of our 30th birthday but that didn't happen. For starters, we just went on vacation so trying to plan a big celebration around that wasn't going to happen. Then there's the fact that I have 3 young kids so getting them prepared for the end of school as well as enrolled in upcoming Summer camps and such; it's all been just so busy-busy. Instead my birthday was spent doing the things that I always do; laundry, dishes, reorganizing, cleaning, making dinner and on and on. We did get a chance to get out with the kids and go to Sams which is something we all love. Who wouldn't love Sams?! Only thing is...every single time - we always forget to clean out the car. And every time we buy up the entire store making it almost impossible to fit it all in the van. But my husband always seems to work his magic and is able to somehow make it work. After getting it home and unloaded it was back to work for this mama. We also started Eva on solids tonight and it went very well. I delayed feeding her any cereal and decided to use my trusty Vitamix to mix up my own sweet potatoes for her. She did great and really seemed to enjoy it! Skylar of course was begging to feed her which I promised she'd be able to do once Eva gets better at eating. And you better believe she won't let me forget it! It was a busy but good day and this mama is tired...
