It was Mosey's 3rd birthday today!! I don't think he totally got the birthday thing yet, but he enjoyed the presents and blowing out candles! We didn't do much too special today-- I put together the boys' bunkbed for most of the day, and then after the boys got home from school we made birthday cake, and that's really about it. This morning was a hard morning because everyone was up WAYYYYYY too late last night. We have to be up by about 6:40 if we are going to be ready to be out the door by 7:25, which is really the latest we can be leaving and still be on time. It's taking a few days to work this out, but hopefully we'll be on a good schedule soon. It's hard for the boys to settle down at night in a new house, new room, new beds, etc. And then last night we were at the Bradford's house, which was a special occasion and so the boys ended up being up a couple of hours (well, probably about 3) past their bedtime. Joseph didn't want to get up this morning, didn't want to get dressed, didn't want to go to school, didn't want to walk in the school doors-- in that order. A lady at school had to basically walk him inside to make him go. And then this afternoon Brigham was falling apart over EVERYTHING. It is funny, when the boys don't get enough sleep, Joseph really suffers the next morning and Brigham suffers the next afternoon. Mosey seemed ok, but he is definitely the most resilient of the 3 boys in terms of lack of sleep.
Mosey picked out the decorations on his birthday cake, and ate the snail candy off his piece, but wasn't interested in eating any of the rest of the cake. Oh well, it's his birthday, he can pass on the cake if he wants to! I wanted to make him a Blues Clues cake, but not enough time or energy today, so maybe next year if he is still into Blues Clues.
The boys' bunk bed is nice. I did end up putting one piece on the wrong bed (2 almost identical twin beds that stack on top of each other), which is very frustrating to me. I'm tempted to dissassmble the whole thing but I probably won't. I'll just have to drill 2 additional holes for the final screws. The instructions had no writing on it at all, only pictures. So it wasn't obvious to me at the beginning that the bottom long horizontal supports were not all identical. Oh well.
So anyway, here is a picture of Mosey's cake and one of him blowing out the candles. Also one of Rachel's graduation pics. I think Rachel still looks 18, don't you?
