Happy Birthday to Me!

Yesterday was my birthday and it was such a great day!

We went to the pool with Mum and Grandpa. It was a super hot and humid day so the pool was the place to be. Cami went in the pool for the first time. She only got her little tootsies wet but she loved hanging out with daddy on the side of the pool. Brayden went into the big boy pool with Grandpa and played some hoops. He loves basketball and the pool so combine the two and he is toddler heaven!

Daddy took the kiddos home for nap time and I went off to go to the mall ALONE! It was great to actually get to try on clothes and go back to the dressing room multiple times without trying to appease a screaming baby and an antsy toddler.

The whole trip to the mall stemmed from me buying a dress for Cami's baptism while shopping with the kiddos. I grabbed the dress and went to try it on...I know I was asking for it by even trying to take the double stroller with two kiddos cranky for lunch but I guess I was feeling extra confident in my mothering skills this day.

Well, I get in the dressing room and have the dress on when both kids go into melt down. I mean, Brayden was whining but Cami was full out freaking out. I am trying to take the dress off and change back into my clothes while Cami's crying is getting louder by the second. At one point the woman from the store actually knocked on the dressing room door and asked if she could help me with anything...yeah, how about a mommy double. So one mommy can take the kids to the food court for lunch and the other mommy can get her shopping done. That would be ideal!

Anyways, I run out of the dressing room with the dress. It fits but I didn't really get to look at it. I get it home and realize that it is ripping at the seams in the bust. Bummer!!! So I went back Saturday to exchange the dress and shop for a new outfit for my birthday night out with Ben.

We went out to our favorite dinner spot and then went to see an awesome firework display. It was so much fun to sit with hubby in the dark and watch the fireworks light up the sky. It was a big bang to end my fabulous birthday...and no I won't be telling you how old I am...not because I am embarrassed but because I like to keep you all guessing ;)
