Baptized

Tonight was Eyes' baptism and lemme tell ya it was an exciting day! First off just as we were about to leave to go to supper at Nana's when Bear was told to do a quick clean up in his room. So what did he do... he started throwing things up onto his bed. Being a top bunk in a bunk bed this is understandable. Except that it is against the rules because it is a small room which is why we have bunk beds in that room. So what did Bear hit while throwing his turtle onto his bed - the light shade on the overhead light. It shattered of course all over the toys and clothes still littering the floor plus Bear cut his finger during the glass breaking. So instead of having a leisurely get ready to leave Hubby and I are scrambling to clean up the glass shards all over the kids room. Which basically meant the kids got a free room clean up from Mom and Dad. Aaarrrggghhh! And we forgot to grab things which we were supposed to bring for people! Sigh!

Supper was a wonderful meal of turkey, potatoes, gravy and stuffing. Mmmmmm Nana has figured out a great substitute for her pork sausage she usually uses in her stuffing - I like the ground turkey it was yummy. Afterwards my soon to be new sister-in-law Queen Pet and I ended up doing the dishes. We took a little longer than Smiles wanted but it was worth it in the end. Except that then Hubby started rushing to get ready to go to the church for Eyes' Baptism. So we left a few things at Nana's which thankfully Nana ended up bringing with her to the church. The ceremony was very nice and despite Raven and Blankshield's Internet and Phone problems today everyone showed up on time. Raven is ecstatic to have another daughter (god-daughter is still a daughter after all) she is so funny sometimes. Bear and Smiles were mostly good with very little fuss (it was after their bedtime after all) but in the end I think they enjoyed seeing Eyes' being Baptized.

Unfortunately I think Eye's is a little sick because as soon as we got home she went from a happy congenial baby to an incredibly cranky squalling bundle of tears. Thankfully she seems to have finally gone to sleep. For awhile it seemed like she wouldn't do anything but scream. Maybe she was overtired too. Maybe I should take this as a cue that I should go to bed. haha. After all who knows how long she'll sleep. Uh oh I think I just cursed my sleep tonight!
