Day 48: Happy Birthday
Chris, Stacy and the kiddos have left. There were a lot of people in this house, and half of them were age 9 and under. I’m exhausted.
Five of us adults left yesterday early evening to go gambling in Kansas City, leaving Mac alone with all six kids. He is brave.
This morning after I got Ada and James dressed, I mixed up a batch of cupcakes. Stephanie and I talked about doing some for her dad (my brother). I told that we could, so I started early in the morning so they could get on the road to travel back to Hutch. I made eleven* and one round cake. Steph decorated the round cake.
My coffee pot wouldn’t grind coffee this morning. Talk about a bummer. Time with the kids here seems like it has been filled with constant running around and cleaning. I’m just too tired to look at it now. I hope I get some energy by tonight so I can make coffee tomorrow.
This birthday celebration for my brother marks the end of the food season. November – February is marked with so many holidays and birthdays that it is one big food fest it seems. I need to hit the CMD again. Seriously.
*One of my square cupcake holders is missing. I’m guessing it was accidentally thrown away last weekend. I caught myself almost throwing one away today.
