A Very Busy Busy Day!

Today is Ashtons birthday and so much had to be done! It all started a 6:30 in the morning after a night of no sleep. I threw my clothes on, made lunch, fixed Ashton's hair got Nicholas dressed, dropped him off at Nana's, went to the Fairview court house to plead guilty to a speeding ticket so I can pay $90 and go to traffic school later. At least it's not going on my insurance! Then pick Nicholas up, go to walmart to get Ashton's gift, birthday cake and classroom cupcakes. After I left there had to go back home to get camera and juice boxes. Arrived 5 minutes late at the school, had lunch with Ashton and all her friends. Had to leave the lunch room because Nicholas had a fit. Went into the classroom and waited for the kids to get out of lunch and Nicholas tried to get into EVERYTHING! After the kids got back and sat down Ashton and Taylor passed out cupcakes to everyone. Reminder-next year get the same kind of cupcakes instead of 6 chocolate and 18 white! Had to leave because Nicholas was really wanting a cupcake (he already had one at lunch, plus some kids fries) after we left there, we went home so I could clean the house that I had destroyed the night before (I tried to make a cookie bouquet for Ashton's classroom treats and it was a bust!). I had a whole 2 hours to dust, scrub, vacuum, wash and shine everything. And in the midst of everything Nicholas brings me Ashtons cake because he is really wanting a piece! Smooshed on one side, but still edible."Cake, Cake!" is all I heard all day!



2:15, shower time! Took a chance and got in the shower with Nicholas left in his room. He did fine other than the 10 books he pulled off daddy's bookshelf and took into to his room. 2:30, had to change Nick, do my hair and wrap Ashes gift. Okay, 2:45, got to go pick Ashes and her friend up from school. Leave from there and pick up my unemployed husband from work. (Don't worry, he will be employed again in 3 days!) Talked with his boss and secretary. Again Nicholas was grabbing everything! Poor Richard was trying to give him everything in the kitchen but all Nicholas would say is "Cake, Cake!" Left from there and straight to my sisters house for Ashton's party. As soon as we put the cake, that was already destroyed and cupcakes on the table Nicholas proceeded to go after them. "Cake, Cake!". He climb on the table, had to move the cakes, then tried to climb the island after we put the cakes there. Ok, had enough! I gave him a little taste of icing on my finger and he literally followed my finger around the island 3 times! Sorry, had to torment him some, after all, he has me all day long! After he devoured all of his pizza, it was cake time and then he was a happy little boy until he ran out so he grabs a fork and starts digging in the rest of the cake. We had to pull him away and get rid of the cake. Out of sight, out of mind. It worked. All night he was chased all around the house. We left because we were too tired to chase him anymore, so when we got home we threw is some Blues Clues and let him run himself down. Finally around 12:00, we were all in bed! Long day!
