Breakfast in Bed

Melia had a great birthday yesterday!! We started it off with breakfast in bed. As stated in last post she ate her treats the night before so I made her blueberry pancakes and even had some cupcakes for her. Yes..I let my kids have sugar sometimes. Dan came downstairs right after I made the pancakes and thought all 6 were for him. So thinking she wasnt going to get up for awhile I let him eat them. oop. I rushed to make a few more and we lit the candles before walking upstairs only to have them blown out by the fan..obviously. So we lit them again but it reminded me of when my sis and I tried to make breakfast in bed for my mom once when we were little. We tried I think 4 or 5 times. Once I think the curtains in the kitchen lit on fire. We spilled the cereal and milk walking up the stairs..you name it..it happened. So anyway..my mom had this tradition of breakfast in bed and I LOVED it. Always looked forward to it. I hope my kiddos do, too, someday.

I have a bunch of pics from yesterday and I didnt want to wait a month then post all of them at once so I thought I would every night post a few. Dan stayed home from school to go to the beach with us which was so much fun. Melia is the happiest just hanging at the beach in the sand or water. So that was special for her to have us all together. Dan asked Melia "Melia what is Daddy going to be when he is done with school?" Melia's answer "You will be home." :)

Ok I will write more about her b'day tomorrow. Thank you, Grandma, for the awesome beautiful cards that Melia wouldn't let me read and the kitty lipgloss that mysteriously showed up the mailbox (our little secret :) Granddad, thanks for the birthday song..Melia listened and smiled so big!! "He is singing to me!" ha ha Jeni and Natalie..beautiful..thanks so much. We skyped Nana and Libby and Melia got to talk to them. She was having fun showing Nana where Mommy fell on her knee. Hmm..poor thing. She talked to Grandma over the phone, which was too sweet to hear. Grandma, we don't say oh my gosh!!! Nana, thank you soooo much for the gifts!! Thanks everyone for making my sweet daughter's birthday so special. I will post more pics tomorrow. It is 8:30 and I am wiped. Troy climbs non stop all day long. Everything...climbs. Highchairs? Sure..climb it. 'Fridge shelves when mommy isn't looking? Sure why not? Who cares what may fall. I love how boys don't just place things down, too. They throw them down..as hard as they can. Ok..rambling on. Until tomorrow...
