If Rude Cactus can get away with bullets...

• Saturday - Thing arrived, purple & pink birthday cake in hand, and we 'enjoyed' a ton of screaming girls for a totally girly princess birthday party. My house has so much 'pink' in it now it looks like someone vomited Pepto Bismol on everything.
• Sunday - We took The Girl and The Boy to a local family-oriented amusement park. A good time was had by all.
• Monday - I went to work while Thing visited some of his relatives in the area. He did stop by my office and take me to lunch though. After work, I came home to find he had done some grocery shopping and we cooked dinner together. Mucho fun. And he got to experience the whole after work chaos - tired & cranky - thing. He didn't go home early so that's a good sign.
• Tuesday - We went to Girlfriend's house for picnic, fun, and fireworks. Stayed up way past my bedtime but managed to stay relatively sober so I wasn't too cranky the next day.
• Wednesday - which most of you celebrated as Independence Day. At the Fauve household, though, it was My-baby-girl-turned-5-and-i'm-so-freaking-old-and-she'll-be-in-college-before-I-know-it Day. Once again, there was picnic, fun and fireworks, but also more birthday cake and a little tequila.
• Thursday - went back to work, ate leftover birthday cake, and cleaned my house. Jealous, aren't you?
• Today - currently 'on break' at work...have suitcase in car so as to head down to The Thing's for the weekend while the kids spend the weekend at The Paperweight's house. We are spending Saturday with our friends Inigo and Buttercup and hitting a show somewhere in Virginia.
• Have a good weekend everyone!
