Happy Birthday to your youngest, soon-to-be-second youngest! Can I have some virtual dirt cake? It's my birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! and yes, here's a share of Dirt Cake for you! lol
FIL didn't make it back down in time for dirt cake, but while we were waiting for my parents to get here (and they did get here) our friend John came down - and he always makes a day brighter! even when he's not bringing goodies!
But today he brought goodies! He brought us a dozen ears of yellow and white sweet corn and 4 HUGE sandwhich tomatoes! And he gave baby boy a couple dollars for his birthday!
Sooooooooooooo - it's still really too hot to cook, so for dinner tonight, we're having Sweet Corn on the cob and Tomato sandwiches! Except I don't think I want a sandwhich, I want cottage cheese with my tomato - YUM.
Anyhoo - went out on the front porch to clean the corn. Baby boy has been WOUND UP since his birthday. He got $5 and 2 shirts and a bag of gummi worms for his gifts - that's a BIG deal for a 3 yr old! So he's hyped up on too much sugar (I'm so going to regret it come bedtime but this kid has been tortued through 3 sibling birthdays and couldn't wait for his) and he was all fired up "I'm going to help you with the torn mommy!"
Daddy laughed and said, "It's Corn!"
baby boy "torn!"
daddy, "say kuh"
baby boy "kuh"
Daddy "kuh orn"
Baby boy "It's Kuh-orn mommy!"
so we all crack up and Baby born proceeds to copy me cleaning the corn - and didn't do too badly either. Couple times he said, "Help me, Daddy" so Daddy did.
The other kids by this time were outside playing on the swing, except DD, who wanted to read or something in her room. Oldest DS took the corn fodder and feed it to the critters. They loved it!
So FIL came back down a little bit ago, and we put on coffee to drink with him. Baby Boy says, "Papa! You want some of my cake! You want a piece of Kuh-orn?!"
It was too cute to say no to! and then he says, "Thank you, Papa, for my shirt!" except he was screaming it at the top of his lungs LOLOL
So it started out kind of wonky today, but ended well.
OH, and my parents brought me a crib today - because they were all excited that they found a beautiful crib that wasn't a drop side crib.....um yea, it's a drop side. LOL But still much sturdier than the one SIL gave us, so we'll use it. Mom felt bad when we showed her it was a drop side, but E told her no big deal, he'll make it NON Mobile.
And that's how the day went.
I got some super cute pics of Baby boy in all his excitement and we were also outside for a bit and I photographed some of the young chicks - and the duck that thinks she's a chick - and one of the shots is of Jade, Jett and Gypsy's baby - but still not sure on gender yet. Will share those pics later tonight or tomorrow
So then I was all like 
NO CAKE and then I was all 
NO CAKE and then I was all 
don't say you can't come, wait till I cancel and say you're coming! and then I was all 
yay we have cake! and 
no baking!
