We had a long day today, but it was (almost entirely) a good one. We had two birthday parties to go to - one in the late morning for Elijah, a friend of Gus' from MOPS, and then one on the afternoon / evening for Chelsea. Both were fun, and included good food, but that meant we were out of the house from 10am to 10pm!
Given the circumstances, both kids did great. Ruby slept through the whole first party (the hour we were there, anyways) and the trip to Olympia for the second. She also napped a bit at Jason and Chelsea's house. Gus only slept for a short time on the way down, so he didn't get his normal 2-hourish nap. He was actually a ball of energy at both parties - and I had a hard time keeping up; lets face it, I didn't fully keep up... and it was a good thing there were others there to help out!
They did both finally give up on the way home: Ruby cried most of the way while Gus took off his shoes and socks, wiggled half-way out of his carseat straps, and then knocked our leftover dinner all over the floor of the car. We took a quick break in Tacoma to deal with those things, and that was a little stressful, but all things considered it was a lot better than it could have been with those two.
Anyhow, I wanted to give everyone who reads this a little insight into how things go these days. I didn't take any pictures to link to today, but Rose and I will keep posting photos as we have chances to - so check in from time to time on our Picasa account as well as Facebook.
