Bread baked and sandwich rolls.  I&#8217;m going to have a deli kind of spread for food.  I think that will work better than trying to do a sit-down dinner.  Lex hates those.  I&#8217;m envisioning a table covered with food and people coming and going, eating inside or outside (fingers crossed for a beautiful day!)  I still have to make more cupcakes and I&#8217;m going to attempt a delicious looking tart.  Why?  Because I want to!  <\/p>\n<p>The weather has been beautiful lately.  I haven&#8217;t gotten much done outside because every time we go outside the kids just want to play at the neighbor&#8217;s house.  I&#8217;m struggling with that a bit.  They are welcome there and I don&#8217;t even need to stick around, except that I want to.  The neighbor&#8217;s keep telling me to go home, enjoy the break, but I can&#8217;t.  Not sure why.  Mostly I think it&#8217;s because I love my kids and want to play with them, but instead I spend hours sitting in the neighbors backyard.  Sigh.  More on that later, I&#8217;m sure.  I think I have to work some things out internally first.  My babies are growing up!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m in a bit of a funk this week and hoping that a family filled weekend with cupcakes will help!  :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lex&#8217;s birthday party is tomorrow.
