I woke up Sunday at 6am with a doozie of a migraine. Since we had Zander's birthday party to go to later in the morning, I thought I was being so proactive by getting up and taking medicine right away, which usually gets rid of the migraine within 2 hours. I went back to bed. I was still not feeling better by 9am, so I took another one, put an ice pack on my neck and stayed in bed until 10:15am, which gave me just enough time to roll out of bed, get dressed and leave for the party. When we left, I still felt miserable, but I had a coke when we got there and I finally started to feel better. Man, I HATE those bad ones, well, I hate them all, but the bad ones really suck and just drain me. Thankfully I have an amazing husband who got up and wrangled the kids all morning.
That being said, Sunday was Zander's first birthday! Man, what a difference a year makes. Last year was a crazy couple of days and filled with so much fun and joy. Happy first birthday, Zandman!

The kids had a blast! Zander received the mother load of presents and did a good job opening them, even though the cards where his favorite part (I think he partially ate at least one!). He was a little tentative about digging into his cake, but as you can see above, eventually figured it out. Most of it ended up on his lap, but he managed to do some major damage. We ran into nap time, so we had to leave a little early. Korri fell asleep before we got to the first stop light by Kristine's house...which is just a couple miles down the road! Finn fought it longer, but eventually passed out, too, with the balloon Kristine gave him to bring home hitting him in the face.
SO, since both kids were sleeping and Kristine's house is just far enough away that I knew they wouldn't go back to sleep, but not far enough for a full nap...Jim and I decided to drive around. We ended up in Maplewood, fitting since that is where Kristine USED to live! When the kids woke up, we went to Toys R Us to play and look around. We were looking for a picnic table and a child's alarm clock...no luck, though. After that we went to Best Buy and daddy got Kinect for Xbox. It is something he has been wanting since it came out and I figured since he works so much, he should get to use a little of his bonus on something fun that he wants (AND he had gift cards to spend!). We haven't got to try it out too much, but it seems fun. Now we just need it to recognize Finn, who is either too short or can't stand still long enough!
