Today was Eva’s eighth birthday. She had a Disney Descendants themed party where her friends and cousins came over and they watched the movie together and enjoyed many candy treats like the kids in the movie. Allison, Eva and Andrew separated the different colored candies into containers according to the colors for each of the four characters. They did a really nice job of it, too. Allison then decorated a couple dozen cupcakes for each of the characters as well. It was a more low key birthday than last year’s monster hunt but a lot of work none-the-less.

Today was Allison’s birthday. I had to work so most of the day I was asleep. The kids made up for that by getting up super early. I don’t think she thought that was a good trade-off. Here was the morning.
5:30 am: Mom, I just used the last of the toilet paper upstairs.
6:00 am: Mom? Can me and Andrew go downstairs? Can we used the window markers?
6:10 am: mom, where are the window markers??
Andrew passing me on the stairs with a mouth full: I weally wike candy!!
The kids are so sweet and want to do things special for Allison for her birthday but as you know, kids on their own usually means more work for mom and dad. Eva was into her elaborate phase again and she was planning another spa day for Allison. We kind of got that to pull back a little. Eva did do something quite sweet. Allison took the kids to Target and Eva took along her purse with $1.06 inside. She went through the dollar spot and picked up something for Allison for her birthday.
For dinner we got some pizza from Eli’s and made some Snickers Waffles. The waffles were actually being made for a blog post that I am doing on Monday. The waffles came out great and were good for a Birthday Cake substitute.
