Day 20: Birthday Leftovers

The excitement of school is wearing thin for the chickadees.  In the old days they woke up excited, dressed and ready to go.  This morning they were slow moving and we ended up leaving late.

Sure my birthday was last week, but my staff put on a lovely birthday potluck in my honor today.  The food, as always, was very delicious and I was excited that there were leftovers to bring home.  Hooray!!!  I don't have to cook tonight!!

Charles was gracious enough to pick up Naysia for me.  I picked up the chickadees at 4pm.  The sweetest scenario.....as they saw the car pull into the school parking lot they were on the curb jumping up and down.  I had the windows down and could hear them saying, "Eomma!!  Eomma!!"  Before So-Yun even got in the car all the way she yells, "HUNGRY!" 

When we got home I unwrapped all the food so they could eat.  I ran a few errands.  After being home for about an hour, I pressed them to get dressed so we could go shopping for party snacks. 
The cart was loaded with plenty of drinks and chips and along the way they managed to sneak lip gloss in too.

We got home and So-Yun says she is hungry again.  I told her she was welcome to eat more birthday leftovers.  She didn't want that, "Eomma, please can you cook for me?  Please?  Pleeeeeeeeeease????"  So against every bit of will in my body I cooked for her.  While I grumbled, Naysia made me some tea.

By 9pm, the house was quiet and everyone was in bed.
