Mariah’s birthday today was filled almost entirely with chores – at least for Laura and I. I fixed the window screen that Mariah dislodged yesterday and finally got the Explorer fixed – the battery was bad, undoubtedly from the false starts with the breaking battery cable. We got the whole house cleaned and then had to find a way to celebrate Mariah’s birthday when all she wanted was to have a cousin party at Grandma Marsha’s house today. She seemed well satisfied for the day when we went to Cold Stone and she got a special ice cream while her siblings got less elaborate treats there and then the whole family went to the park and ate pizza. Sadly Alysa had to ruin the event for herself by flipping spit in the car with her ice cream spoon. She survived, but not until after she took the time to scream at the world because we told her she could not have any of the pizza.
