The Ducky has a birthday…

He’s THREE!  Our little Ducky had a birthday today and I think he enjoyed it.  We went to the park for what should have been a MOPS playdate, apparently I didn’t get the message that no one else was going!  I guess I didn’t really need to stay up last night and make that batch of Rice Krispie treats…  Well, we went anyway and took our neighbor friend, Jesse.  The boys ran around and got really red-faced.  Francesca monopolized the baby swing and this preggo-Momma was HOT.  It was much hotter than I expected, even under the big shade trees.  So our usually long park visit ended after about an hour.  They seemed to be okay with that, they were hungry.  Andrew asked for macaroni for his birthday dinner and I happily obliged since I just made a pot of gravy and had meatballs and such on hand.  I tossed everything together and baked it with lots of mozzarella (HE LOVES HIS CHEESE) and there we had it, yum.  He wanted a vanilla cake with chocolate frosting and sprinkles, he got just that and loved it!  Although he only ate the frosting, didn’t even touch the cake!  Unfortunately, the little guy is getting sick.  His nose was running most of the day and he’s coughing.  He got a swig of medicine before bed, hopefully he’ll feel better in the morning.  As for his gifts… he got a little motorcycle toy (loves it), some sticky spiders (grosses me out but the boys love them) and a pirate accessory set, sword, gun and eye patches!  Too cute, the boys were battling it out and Frncesca wore the eye patch, she can almost say “argh”.  Evan is having a VERY hard time keeping his hands off of Andrew’s new things, but that was to be expected.  That child needs to get over the fact that not everything in this house belongs to him.

Tomorrow we are going to try and meet Vince at the National Aquarium after his meeting.  It’s been a while since we visited there.  They’ve added new exhibits and as long as Andrew’s feeling better I’m sure they’ll have a blast.  Nothing new on the house.  We had a guy come out yesterday to take pictures for a virtual tour, no update on that though.  I’ll post the link once we get it so you can check it out.  Until then…
