The definition of chaos is: complete disorder and confusion. Yeah. Chaos. That was our birthday dinner for Shane and Casey tonight. It was complete and utter chaos.
There were 20 different conversations going on at once. There were babies crying. There were toddlers screaming. Playing. Laughing. Yelling. Running. Dogs moving around under our feet. Dinner was scarfed down. So was cake and ice cream. There was a brief peace as soon as we handed the cake and ice cream to Adelyn and Casey, but that was short lived. And after they had consumed all the sugar and butter one could ever hope for, chaos resumed. Literally. Chaos.
It was amazing chaos. It was hilarious. It was the kind of chaos where you find yourself just sitting and staring at it unfold in front of you, dumbfounded. I would catch someone's eye doing the same thing, and laughter would break out.
I'm so thankful that even chaos can be beautiful. When you think of the chaos we experienced during tonight's birthday dinner for Shane and Casey...isn't it better than the alternative? A dull, quiet, uneventful life.
Thankful for Shane and Casey. Thankful for chaos. Because it means our lives are filled with little ones who make having a quiet birthday dinner at home impossible.

| Adelyn picked out this gem of an outfit all by herself. We were going to Old Navy, and according to Addy B, this is how a princess dresses. Please notice: the rain boots, the Rapunzel princess dress, the raincoat, the beads, and the panda hat. The people at Old Navy probably saw us walking in and thought, "oh, thank god this woman has brought her poor child in to shop for some clothes." |
