Sibling Visit and Celebrating James' Birthday

We had a sibling visit for my oldest the other day.  

Two of his siblings are off the radar or out of the area.  It feels kind of strange not to have the whole set together for a visit.  But we had a nice time with who was available.

And he got presents!  He loves gifts!


My bird eater.  Who is not a bird eater when french toast, eggs, and bacon are involved. 


Yes, he did order a side of bacon to go with his meal.  Which already came with four pieces of bacon.  

And here is my other bird eater.  Who woke me up very early in the morning by jumping on my bed and asking me when we were going to IHOP.  

And then, once we got to IHOP, he ordered two meals.  Because I don't make him Kraft mac and cheese at home.  (Out of Love.  Because what is up with powdered orange cheese that has a thousand ingredients that you can't pronounce?)  And he was in the mood for a cheeseburger.  

It was like watching that "What About Bob?" scene where the guy is going crazy over how good the mashed potatoes are.    


This kid had a giant omelette with sausage and bacon.  Enjoy your heart health boys.


As for the baby, he had a rooty jr.  And by had, I mean that I ordered it for him, and then he proceeded to chuck his scrambled eggs and napkin across the table, smash his bananas and cream all over, and toss his chocolate milk to the ground.  He was a delight...

After that, the kids got Yougurtland.  Because who doesn't pound a two thousand calorie breakfast and then want a thousand calorie frozen yogurt right after?

Then we headed home for some chill time.

Here is James, practicing for his future career as a male model.




This is a great action shot of C jumping in the pool.


James found a lizard stuck in the pool system.  His sister C saved it.  Then the boys took turns holding it before putting it on a warm rock to dry out.




This house keeps showing surprises.  I noticed this little plant blooming.  So colorful...


While this little cutie was wretched at the restaurant, he was perfectly amiable at home.  Maybe he just doesn't like eating out?


And James is officially taller than his oldest sister, C.  She is four years older than him.  


After our guests left, Baby took control of the Yogurtland. 


And finished it.  I love his little boy lost look when it was done.


All in all, I think it was a good visit for James and his sister.  And we were happy to go along for the bonding.
