How I celebrated my birthday-pm

Went back to K& E's a little after noon. I wasn't in the house five minutes and I was changing a dirty diaper. It was time for the noon feed which is fruit for the boys. The boys don't really care for the fruit stuff preferring veggies and cereal. Bananas are the worst. I dread the days I think we might feed bananas. Even Reid, who will eat almost anything, doesn't think much of bananas. Today was pears. Aiden has developed a defense I call spit and blow. If he doesn't like the fruit, he is likely to spew the contents of the spoon all over the feeder and feedee. He can be a mess to clean up and I usually wear old T-shirts. Today went well with pears. Then it was bottle and play time. About 2:30 I decided they needed a nap. I didn't care if they weren't tired, I was so they went to the nursery. I sat down to read the Denver Post. That lasted about 20 minutes until Reid started screaming. Two minutes later I had his leg freed from where he had stuck it in the crib slats. I'm glad he screamed because it got my attention. They were asleep when Keri came home around 3:30. I walked home to get ready for my birthday dinner. I had received 3 birthday cards in the mail: one from my mother with a check, a very nice card from my sister-in-law (there was no check but they'll have three kids in college next semester), and one from my broker in Casper and I don't think he wants me to forget him. Keri and the boys came over for supper. The boys were both wearing party hats. I got cards from Keri and Eric, Kathy and the boys and then we had dinner. No one sang Happy Birthday and that made me happy. They went home around 6:00.
I guess I spent most of my time today with two 8 month old kids who would call me "Grandpa" if they could talk, their mother, and their grandmother. Who could ask for a better birthday?
