I don't seem to get as much computer time with Cory at home (he's been home since Thursday), but that's okay. I much prefer spending time with my honey!

Cory was at home on Thursday (or at least not at work in Sioux Falls) because he was getting things set up at the center he'll be doing contract work for a few hours each week. He worked at this same place when we lived in Yankton before, so he knows many of the people still there.

Cory took off Friday because it was the day before his birthday. I don't remember anything terribly exciting happening that day.

Saturday was Cory's 31st birthday, and as Cory put it, he's "firmly entrenched in the 30s". I think he really enjoyed the day. Cole and I got up before he and Accalia, and we got his favorite pre-packaged breakfast (Great Start pancakes and sausage) and Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Then we blew up a bunch of balloons and set out party favors. That was more for Accalia's benefit since that's what a birthday is mostly about for her right now (besides the presents). Cory received mostly music from us. He's into a wide range of styles, but this time around he received more metal and alternative bands. His birthday lunch was at McDonald's (again, for Accalia's benefit), and she had a great time running around the playland. And it was relatively calm, so that was a bonus for us. And for his birthday supper, he opted to grill hamburgers and make his grandma's potato salad. I made milk shakes and a caramel cake with caramel frosting. So, as you can see, the day revolved a lot around food!

Oh, Cole's shipment of diaper covers arrived on Saturday, too. We ordered a dozen Bummis Super Whisper Wrap Snaps from The Baby Marketplace. The reason I ordered from this store is because they had a good price on bulk orders and free shipping. We had received a shipment from them last week, but they sent velcro covers instead of snap covers. We took care of everything relatively quickly, though. They sent out the correct covers before they received the wrong shipment back from me and immediately refunded what I had to pay for shipping. So I'm pretty impressed with the service and glad Cole has diaper covers that aren't falling down!

Both kids are napping right now, and Cory is rearranging our upstairs landing. For The past few days, Accalia has been constantly asking me to tell her stories. It started out with her wanting me to tell her fairy tales and the like, but now she wants real stories about each of us. It's fun telling her about things that happening to me or to her when we were younger.
