this morning we had a playdate at our house and celebrated our friend, gianna's 3rd birthday with cupcakes! the kids love having friends over to play, but can get so crazy sometimes!! rex was climbing on EVERYTHING!!! every time i turned around he was up on something else! he definitely keeps me busy these days!! malloy had a great time with her pals but started crashing hard as soon as they left. a hungry, tired, malloy is not something i enjoy being around!!! she plays the "i want to/i don't want to" game. it's not fun. she finally settled down after i told her that i knew she was just cranky because she was hungry and tired. she took a bite of sandwich and said "this bite made me feel better".  little stinker. she had a much better afternoon! it was beautiful out so we went for a walk and then played on the deck for a bit. rex was walking more than he ever has this afternoon! he was even walking on the deck with his sneakers on - we're getting closer!!! :)
