Current mood: exhausted
Party, party, party! That seems to be the theme of our weekends lately. This weekend was no exception. We all went down to San Diego today to help celebrate Mia's cousin Emily's 5th birthday!
The ride down there was good. Mia slept most of the way. I on the other hand was not feeling well at all!! I was queasy and my stomach hurt and I just felt bleh. I was hoping as the day progressed I would feel better but unfortunately I didn't. We made a quick pit stop at Fry's Electronics to pick up my early birthday gift!! YAY! Then headed off to Tia Martha's house for the party.
Once we got there Mia was so excited to be out of the car she nearly ran to the house!!! We brought her inside and of course she acted all shy around everyone. We then took her to the backyard where they had a jump for joy, food, music and all sorts of things to get into. Soon she was running all over the place, dancing, exploring and climbing on and off of chairs. She didn't really want to eat much food and wanted to play instead. She made a couple of little friends too! One was a bit younger than she was but they baby talked to each other which was really cute.
After we ate, Adrian took Mia to the jump for joy and bounced her on it (the outside of it) for awhile. She got a huge kick out of this and kept laughing and smiling. Then it was pinata time! All the little kids lined up and Mia was the first to go. They didn't even fully set up the pinata yet when Mia started bashing it with the stick all by herself! It was really funny. She was having lots of fun, then Daddy helped her a bit and she gave it a few more good whacks. Then her turn was over but she refused to give up the stick. Uh-Oh! Ya, that was not good. Soon Daddy had to literally pry her fingers from it while she screamed and cried and threw a huge fit in front of everyone. She cried the whole time the other kids were hitting it and kept trying to break free from Dada so she could get her stick back. It turned into a huge disaster! She had never acted like that before, it was horrible. She screamed and cried and threw a big scene. Eventually Adrian gave her a lemon from the tree and she was content with that until the candy went flying. She then went in and grabbed some candy. Some of the little kids also gave her some of their candy to help her! How sweet! Then it was time for the second pinata! There was no way we were going to go through that again so we quickly took her to the other side of the yard where the jump for joy was.
Adrian bounced her a bit more on the jump for joy. Then her Tia Patty came along and took her inside the jump for joy with her! They both jumped for awhile together and Mia had a blast and had lots of fun. It was right around this time that my head started to hurt, same with my stomach and I felt so queasy. I knew I had to lay down or I would get sick. I asked Adrian's Tia Martha if I could lie down upstairs and she said I could in her room. So I did. About an hour later I started to feel a bit better and rejoined the party.
By this time I had already missed the cake and the party was quieting down. Mia and Adrian were in the livingroom sitting with all the cousins chatting and watching the Padre game. Mia was going nuts on the floor, trying to roll over, trying to do summer salts and just going bonkers! She got worse once she saw me walk into to the room. I asked Adrian if she had cake and he said yes... ahhh no wonder!!! So Mia put on a little show for everyone until she started to tire out and get cranky. That was our queue to get going.
We said our goodbyes and headed back home. Mia never slept in the car which was an ok thing since once she got home she ate dinner and now shes in bed. Phew what a day! My headache is starting to return so I think I will go rest too. Overall it was a very fun day with family!
