Rainy Weekend

We had an exceptionally rainy weekend here.  Josh is leaving for a work trip to DC on Monday morning and will be out of town on his 36th birthday.  We had a mini-celebration on Saturday complete with trick candles on the cake (Josh is sadly lacking in a sense of humor when it comes to trick candles).  He'll be missed on his birthday this year, but it's only fitting to miss his own birthday since he was traveling for my 34th birthday.  

The girls tried to stay busy this weekend.  Zoey had a major fit at Target which cut our shopping trip short yesterday.  I know people we staring, some with understanding looks on their faces.  But come on people, have you never seen a 4-year old have a melt down before?  Surely this is nothing new to suburbia.  I have always had sympathy for those moms, of which I now hole a permanent membership (or so it seems some days).  I just want to say to these young people staring ... just wait, your day will come too.  No one gets a perfect child, and if by some miracle they do, surely there are drugs involved.

Hopefully this week will being some nicer weather so that we can maybe get some fresh air into our lungs, and maybe if we're really lucky, tire out the 4-year old!
