This weekend was full of activities for the kids - which meant it was full of running for mom. Friday the kids were suppose to start the weekend cleaning (since there was so much to do) but I ended up watching a couple of my friend's kids so...being that it was a gorgeous day and I wasn't going to make my little extras help Karl and Abby clean, I decided to take the seven kids (yes seven!) down the street to the park. They were having a blast. Karl and his friend Nick were playing catch and the rest were chasing and playing and goofing around. Until...Aine was running and not watching her feet, she tripped over a pile of sand and...landed chin first into the corner of the slide. She immediately started crying. Well...I picked her up and got the kids back to the house (Karl carried Sam), got everything ready (my friend would be there within five minutes to git his kids). Anyhow, we ended up at the doctor and Aine got all patched up with this tape stuff (the doctor was really cool and preferred the tape to the stitches...which I thought was great). Cute thing is, Aine told us, and the doctor, that she "want my band aid on my owee." The doctor smiled and told her she was going to need a little more than a band aid.
And, just to brag things up a bit...my daughter is TOUGH. She didn't even cry or make a nose when they put the stingy stuff on her chin. Nope, she just squeezed her mommy and daddy's hand. What a sweetheart.
The next day we cleaned, watched Karl play football, and celebrated Aine's birthday with my family. It was a full, non-stop day. Aine got a lot of nice presents (Abby was jealous). For the first time Abby had to ask Aine to play with something. It certainly changes the dynamics of their relationship and is very good for Abby to deal with. All in all, Saturday certainly made up for Aine's Friday.
Happy birthday to my big three-year-old! Now if we can just get her to go on the potty before the year is up!
