the day.

a re-cap of clay's birthday because my mama-heart says

that i'll never forget these little details,

but my mama-brain knows that might not be entirely true.

it was lovely.  

i started to panic about not having planned

this big ol' bash to celebrate his day.

 not that there's anything wrong with those bashes,

but we just spent the day:

at the apple orchard,

readying the house with whatever we had on hand as he napped,

having a home-cooked meal,

making homemade cupcakes that got smooshed before they were passed out

& playing with a few new boy [!] toys on the floor all together

before tucking everyone into bed.

it was perfect.
