1. It is ok to make your own birthday cake. Jeff would be happy to buy me a cake and some years I might take him up on that but it's my birthday and I want my favorite cake so why not just make what I want.
2. It is ok for things not to always have to be "planned".
3. Life is going by fast so I need to try to enjoy everyday.
4. It is important to remember that each day I have with my kiddos at this age will help mold them into who they will become.....it is a big responsibility.
I was blessed that my birthday ended up being one of the nicest warmest days of the season so far. We grilled some chicken, squash and zucchini, and of course had rice.
Doesn't that toothless smile just make you happy
Banana wanted to light the candle. Lessons learned for him:
1. If you hold the match straight the flame will burn your finger.
2. If you blow your match out in front of the candle it will blow out the candle as well

I am so lucky to have such a special little girl. She wrote me a card and told me she didn't want me to read it out loud. She also wrote me a song and sang it to me.
She wrapped up some of the clay from the boat club that she had been molding and also a pot holder she had made on her weaving loom that just the night before she ask me to finish off for her :)
I can't ever imagine why I originally wanted two boys....she is the sweetest thing ever.
He did say he didn't want to get and wrap up a carpet cleaner so I could just go out and get that when I wanted
It was so nice that JonJon ask Jeff to stop on the way home from school so he could get me something. He got me a gift card....if only it didn't come with a note that said......
This is so sweet! Glad your birthday was special! (And the way I see it, Jon's note is suggesting you were turning 20... which is halfway to 40) lol.
