Stress melts into Fun

What a rough start to our day! We were pulling out of the drive way to head off to a birthday party of a little friend of Luke's when an alarm sounded on the car! It was a flat tire. So we pull back in and fill it up with our tiny little pump, so it took a long time. I was really worried about Luke having to wait and really getting upset, but he did really well and was so excited to get to the party. It was at Chuck E Cheese, which he thinks is the best place on earth, and the only place for a birthday party. He had his 3rd birthday party there, so I guess it is all he remembers. We keep telling him there are other places just as fun to have parties, but he doesn't believe us :oD
While we were at the party Kenny got the car fixed and we were able to get through the last of our Christmas shopping with out much trouble. Although it is really difficult trying to sneak stuff around Leslie these days, I remember the days when we could put everything right in the cart in front of her and she wouldn't pay any attention to it, or just forget about it in a few minutes! Ahhh, the good old days!
Liam was in rare form today, as he is more and more comfortable with this new role as a 2 year old. It is at the stage where it is really cute and funny, so it's really hard not to laugh at the little things he does. I know this won't last and I am going to be pulling my hair out in the next couple of months!
Well, now that I am ready bring on Christmas!
