It is 9:30pm and everyone including Phil is in bed fast asleep. I am so glad this weekend is coming to a close. It really was a great weekend just busy. The party Friday night to celebrate the one year anniversary of Madelynn's heart surgery was a success.
We had a house full somewhere between 40-45 people including kids and almost no food left. Madelynn was so funny. I really thought she would be shy around all the people but she wasn't. She went with the flow walking around looking at people and saying 'HI!'. There were four children around her age and she was having a great time playing with them.
Saturday we had lots to do before trick or treating began. The kids were so excited. We talked to Jack's pre-school teacher whose husband works with Phil and daughter is one of Katie's best friends to come trick or treat with us. So while I passed out candy they all walked the neighborhood collecting candy. We did get some rain that put a damper on some of the evening but it never poured until much later. The kids came home with tons of candy. With what I had left we have either more candy or about the same as when the evening started. I have already posted the pic of Katie, Jack and Maddie in costume.
Then we have the fact that time changed this weekend. So by Saturday night I am ready to pass out. I am about to get up to bed when Katie comes down and asks if she can sleep in my bed. So I tell her to go up there and I will be there in a minute. I knew Jack would not understand the time change and that he would be up at his usual 6am awakening. Which I was not looking forward too.
What I was not prepared for was the CD BLASTING out of Katie's radio through the baby monitor and Katie was sleeping in our bed. And NO Maddie can not get out of the crib yet. It was 6:15. I stumble out of bed, eyes still closed, feeling my way to the girls room. Not only had Jack full blasted the radio he turned on the biggest brightest light in the room.
Imagine poor Maddie in her cozy bed covered in a blankets in perfect slumber awakened to the lights of Broadway and Life is a Highway roaring out of the radio. I know I would have had a few choice words for him. Phil really wanted to say them but I held him back. So now not only was Jack awake so was Maddie which means I now had to become conscience. I was not happy. By the time I finished Maddie's breathing treatment Katie was awake too so I took all three of them downstairs to eat breakfast.
Needless to say, I made sure they all took a nice long afternoon nap and yes I was able to slip one in there too. Chaos is always there it just shows itself in so many different forms.
By the way, GO IRISH!!!!
