Mr E's Birthday

This is what I woke up to on the morning of Mr E's birthday. We had fallen asleep on the couch watching TV with the kids the night before, and then Mr E had woken up really early because at some point the middle of the night he got up and realized his dad had bought laser tag guns for us all to play with for his birthday. Well, this is Mr E, jumping through the living room to get to a safe spot or something. He and Quijote were playing laser tag at-- well, I don't really know what time it was, but it was some disgracefully early hour of the morning. And these guns are loud. But way fun! Mr E looked so happy!!! So I peeled myself off the couch and Q and I started making breakfast so we could all eat and go to the park to play tag.

Here is Mr E with his birthday breakfast :)

Mr E got calls during breakfast and on our way to the park, where the kids kicked Quijote and Mami butt. We played all morning, until we got hungry, and decided to pick up a special meal of Mr E's choice home. He wanted Wendy's of course.

At home, we ate our very nutritious Wendy's meals, and then there was some serious napping- we were all pooped from all the running around!

But not very much later, the kids were ready for more laser tagging. This time we played inside, and were surprised at how fun it was with all the things around the house. I thought the trees would be plenty, but being in the house was like being in scatter terrain! It was tons of fun.

Then was the turn of a very easy to break little pinata. It was seriously down in just a few hits. Haha!

It was cooooold outside, and chilly and windy. So it was perfect timing to come back inside for some hot cocoa, watching the Mandalorian, and having cake. Miss E and I set up a pretty nice little spread on the dining room table, and even made tiny party hats for the dinosaurs. The cake was made by the kids, and decorated mostly by Miss E. They wouldn't let me help!
