Happy Birthday Kathleen!

"Seven years ago today..."
"Wait mom! I already know the story. But you can tell me it again if you want, I guess."
"Well, you were so cute..."
"I know, I know. You tried to get me out on the 15th, but I waited to come on the 16th. I think I just liked it in there. And I was probably a little afraid of accidentally getting cut with a knife."

The boys, helping me make Kathleen's breakfast in bed. If you know Kathleen, you know that she knows exactly what she wants.


Opening a gift from Grammy and Pompa:

It was a Webkinz. She was so excited. She loved her horse. She carried it around with her all day.
So, naturally, Brandon did too. They loved playing with them together.
Kathleen's cake, and yes, she decided this too.
I thought I would be the best mom ever and dress like a princess for her party. The kids loved it and called me their queen. But they liked Ryan better, even though he didn't dress up. When he walked in they would all chant, "My man, my man, my man..." as opposed to, "My lady," for me. They were so cute.
Taking the girl's orders for dinner.
Brandon decided to dress like Barney. But after an hour in that (before the party even started) he decided to be Batman instead. Either to protect or hunt the princesses, depending on his mood.
"My man, my man, my man..."
