I have a feeling it will be a long day! It's still very wet outside. So the kids are stuck inside... again.
Rena reminds me of Brylee ... she NEVER shuts up. Not for one second. I think Steve is taking off for the day .... just to get away from the incessant noise.
I think Stew would love to go too!
We are expecting Amanda, Andrew and Emily sometime today too. They are coming for dinner.
Dinner... hmmmm .... better do something about that soon. Well, at least get something out of the freezer to cook later. Chicken nibbles sounds good.
I could cook a cake? Nah, think I'll go buy one. Feeling lazy. Oh... I don't know for sure yet. I might cook... procrastination abounds.
ONWARD...
RENA: is at the drive anyone crazy age. We DO love her...just not her behaviour. And I will not apologise for being honest.
I ADORE BABIES. Any baby. Ask anyone who knows me. They will say the same.
Preschoolers? Not so much.
Cooked a decadent dinner: Teriyaki Chicken, Lemon Chicken, potato wedges and garlic bread. OMG, yum.
Followed by Caramel Cheesecake and Chocolate Cake from the Cheesecake shop. Clearly I did not cook the cakes! lol
End of Day: we have had a wonderful day. Just watching a shoot 'em' up, bang bang movie on the TV to wind down after a busy day.
ON TRACK: well no, not after the birthday dinner I'm not. But, I do feel in control and confident I have not blown it!
nite nite.
Happy Birthday Stew!! Hope you have a good day! I say take him out to dinner with the whole crew, come back and have cake which you made!!! lol...debbie

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Stew.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Stew.
ReplyDeleteI have to say - it really sounds like you don't like Rena AT ALL. You always sound negative about her and this is in stark contrast to Emily who it sounds like you are in love with.
Happy birthday Stew! Hope you all have a lovely day with the family.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Stew!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you re: preschoolers ....keep them far away from me!
haha- are jelly beans his birthday treat or is that just what he's holding? I've had birthdays where instead of cake I just wanted m&ms hahaha
ReplyDeleteI love pre-schoolers!!! Not so much babies I suppose, never been one to coo of a baby.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Stew.
I hope Stew's birthday was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Stew.. but Jelly beans mate.. Is that good for you??? Hehe love the smile.. you naughty boy!!
ReplyDeleteI can tell that you love your DH and he is a real - Keeper! I think you have done an excellent job of raising him! LOL

Oh dear Chris, someone's having a go at you again...re: Anon!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos of the kids Chris. It's a great idea to learn photography. I should go to a class too. Griffin is a very handsome young man. Who's Anonymous.. they are troublemakers. It's obvious you love all your grandchildren and aren't they lucky they have grandparents who do!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday to Stew!
ReplyDeletewhy if someone points something out or asks a question about an impression on Chris - then they are having a go or being a troublemaker. I asked because it seemed to me that Chris genuinely did not like Rena - but she has explained it as not liking the developmental stage that she is at but that she still loves her.
ReplyDeleteI did not have a go at her.
