par-tay(s).
on saturday, M_ and jamie went to our friends debbie & dave's boy nate's 1st birthday party (wait -- did that make sense?)... i was of course unable to attend due to my elderly decrepitude (i laid on the couch all afternoon watching various cable television manifestations of “show about unsolved mysterious cold case fbi files”, downing massive quantities of ibuprophen), so all i have is the following photographic evidence of the fun i was too physically infirm to take part in:
here we have M_ practicing for her role in an off-off-broadway revival of barfly.
my little cowgirl is a fan of carbohydrates + salt. in any form, really.
cupcakes with green icing! topped with tiny farm animals! kid birthday parties are the best....for those attending, i mean. because clearly for those parents putting on the party it is A HORRIBLE NIGHTMARE FROM WHICH THEY ARE UNABLE TO WAKE.
which is precisely why this (below) is one of only 4 pictures i have from M_'s 2nd birthday (thanks, debbie)... both jamie and i were so run ragged by party planning and execution that neither of us took a single stupid picture. but before you berate me for being a horrible mother, take a look at that spread! ice cream cake! homemade cookies! twix bars! let the group sugar coma commence!
next year i think we're just going to hook all the kids up to IV sucrose drips and put on finding nemo. same difference, really.

heh, that M_ sure likes her chips and beer!
jamie and i were joking that in a few years i'm gonna run out of party themes. he suggested "underwater cowboys" or "space pirates" fow when jack's 8 or 9. but i love the theme party--i can't help myself! we did the cowboy theme for jack's first birthday, so it only made sense to do it for natey's. plus, it was good to get wear out of that little cowpoke outfit i bought in nyc for an arm and a leg! but it goes with the theme! i. must. have. it. heh.
we missed you. hope you're feeling better.

My kind of birthday party. Maybe we should move back to DC. Only if I could convince Dave. So DC is humid. The nearest mountain, Sugar Loaf Mountain, is merely a hill. Oh, but I miss it. Today, I almost packed the boys in the car and headed back there. And I am not kidding.
I hope your body is recovering!
