I should be posting even when things are going smoothly

Sunday was good day.  We had a birthday party at a local McDonalds.  I don't think I've been to a birthday party at McDonalds since I was 7....and it was my own.  Awesome.  Thing 1 & Thing 2 were as well-behaved as a bunch of pancake-and-cake-stuffed kids can be while climbing through a bunch of stairs and slides.  I was pretty good at staying calm all day, although I didn't have any reason to get mad at anyone.  Thing 1 did end up being sent to bed without his usual routine, which is usually 2 stories, we sing a song together (real or made up), and we ask each other 2 questions.  Last night he didn't get that, he was playing too rough with Thing 2 in the basement, so mom sent him upstairs to bed.

We do have a lot of rules in our house - no hitting, kicking, pushing, yelling, etc.  Standard fare, I suppose, but sometimes I wonder if it's too much for them to process.  And then Thing 1 will say something like, "Hey, it's 9:45!  That's like 549 (on Bell TV) Disney Junior backwards!"  They're too f**king smart and they remember everything.  This morning I even got hugged first (before mom!!) when we dropped them off at school.  They never cease to amaze me....
