Happy Birthday to Me!

another year older, hopefully a bit wiser...

Surprisingly the whole family was in one place this year, dad's been away for military duty a lot over the past few years. So we try and be a bit flexible when birthdays come around. Same with the presents. I picked my presents from the kids out at the craft store last weekend (yay for bigger craft stash) and hubby took me to buy new clothes this week (can you believe it, he MADE me buy a whole bunch of them, what a sweetie!).

A quiet day yesterday (at least quiet in my book), some munching on birthday cake (oh, yeah, baby!!!), some craft time (yay!), some TV time (yay!), and some family time (extra loud YAY!). We went to a neighborhood Chinese restaurant for dinner (yum) celebrating both mine and Big Guy's birthday (mine on the 7th and his tomorrow); we decided to get our fave ice cream after dinner - don't think we're nuts but we went to Costco! I L.O.V.E. vanilla soft serve ice cream (sorry, no funny business in the ice cream department here) and Big Guy is a fan of their yumminess as well.

So to cement my status as just a bit nuttier than average we celebrated my birthday by picking up a few groceries and stuffing our faces with ice cream ... 'nuff said.

More crafty stuff going on today (birthday presents in the making, pics to follow soon), BBQ at in-laws tomorrow where we are celebrating the 4 birthdays this month and Mother's Day in one day (I am convinced I would be the size of the Michelin Man if I had to eat 4 birthday cakes in the span of 3 weeks).

Geez, all this writing about birthday cakes... now I'm hungry!!! There is some Black Forest Cake with whipped cream waiting on me in the fridge... I gotta go!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mommys out there, it's a tough job with tougher hours, but being paid in hugs and kisses is pretty cool!!!
