ma’s birthday

the girls and i drove to columbus for my mom’s 60th birthday. the drive went fine (god bless in car dvd players). our only real meltdown came from eve about 10 minutes from my parents’ house. typical. the birthday party started at 4:00, and we arrived right on time. eve was crabby from the crying and only wanted daddy, until the end of the party when she became slap-happy. then the ham in her came out. olivia spent most of the time playing by herself when she wasn’t monopolizing ma’s time.

neither of the girls were terribly excited by the fire truck and paramedics, but all the other kids sure were. no, there wasn’t a fire from all the candles (sorry mom), my mom works for the upper arlington fire department. they came out for her. the party was a lot of fun (nice work, wendy), but we will not speak of the horrible karaoke.

the rest of the weekend was fun. we were all glad we got to see ma and pa and all the cousins. one the way home, we even stopped in indianapolis to see gigi. we had fun, but boy were we glad to get home to mommy.

here are some pictures from the weekend.
