Caleb’s cake.  the big yellow blob is supposed to be “6”  I bought a cake pan for that and it didnt come out right.   that one is actually made out of cookie dough that I baked in the 6 pan, it was sturdier than the one made out of cake.    Bo put his finger in the six today, so thats why the one music note is up against the 6, to cover the fingerprint!  :-)     I am disappointed w/ the cake, I could have ordered one and it have looked better possibly, at least I know it will taste good! and Caleb likes it so that is really all that matters to me!

Oh my goodness, I just had to raise my voice to the kid who has been spending too much time at our house.  When I put Zeke down for nap I told him he had to leave, that it was going to be quiet time at our house and that he needed to go.  Caleb and Bo can play quietly but it’s going to be quiet gosh darn it!  I know they wont nap and I dont expect that but I cant keep up w/ other peoples kids all of the time, he is teaching Bo and Caleb things I dont approve of as is.  So he just came back over and I told him to leave and he told me “well it’s Calebs birthday he can choose”  I said no it’s time for a break from friends you need to leave.  He still wouldnt go.   then he came to me and said well Calebs 6 he doesnt need quiet time.  it was at that point I had had it.   I told him I know how old caleb is and I make the rules and that he needed to leave.  we are having quiet time away from friends.  he stormed out and slammed the door.   freaking kids.   how dare he tell me what Caleb can and cant do.   Caleb ended up telling him to go as well and said it’s my house and my mom said it’s time for you to leave and he still wouldnt go, it wasnt til I raised my voice that he decided he was done arguing w/ me.   this kid has been trying my patience all week.

I try to have quiet time for us from 4:30 til dean get home, which is between 5 and 5:30 pending how busy he is.    but today I wanted them to rest now and have some quiet so Zeke could nap so when he wakes up we can go to the pool til Dean gets home, hopefully a little early.    so usually it’s later in the day and I make all the kids that dont live here go away.   I cant believe he’s been here so much today, I fed him lunch even and I’m the one hosting a birthday party tonight and he’s got both parents at home to keep him busy.   (his dad is a teacher and is off for the summer)  I’m here by myself w/ three kids as is, then this kid thinks he can stay here all day too.   bah…I am trying to nice about it, I dont really mind but when he’s teaching the boys things I dont approve of and disrepects our rules, well that’s just about too much for me to take in addition to all the other stuff in my life.

anyway…this was supposed to be a light hearted post…maybe later on this weekend when I’ve had some rest that will happen!  a few more pics up at Flickr.
