Thirty three is looking pretty good so far. I must share with you the fabulous events of my birthday!
It all started the night before, when my sister and I went out. We did a little shopping and then she treated me to dessert at the Palasad. Have you ever tried a deep-fried Mars bar?? Oh my. If you haven't, run, don't walk, to the nearest Palasad and get what they call "Mars Attacks" ~ it is so gooey, chocolate and caramel-y.
This morning I rose to run with my dear friend and running buddy. When we arrived back at her house, she came out with a card and beautiful, wonderful French Silk Pie she had made herself. This is my favourite dessert ~ everyone should start their birthday with a dessert like this. See picture below:
Then when I was getting ready this morning, I went back into my room and my sweet daughter had made my bed for me.
As I entered our school room, this is what I found on the whiteboard...
and these notes on my desk...
(little love notes from Nolan and Kylie...not sure if you can read them but the spelling is hilarious..."you aer the best mum in the wuruld" -- homeschooling isn't perfect, alright!)Jack broke out into song several times today with "Happy Birshday to Mommy!"
I also received a phone call from Nate saying to be ready at 5:30 pm...he has something planned.
Turns out he had a babysitter booked, reservations at the Keg and tickets to the big game at the JLC. And the Knights even won. Not bad!!
If this is the way this year is gonna go...I'm all for getting older!!
Glad you had a great birthday even it you did try and make the most of it by starting the day before and then getting up in the middle of the night not for running oh no! but for cream pie. come on don't tell me you didn't know your 'dear'friend was not prone to pulling out the baking equipment?
ReplyDeleteAnyway back to the deep fried mars bars.... I have been enjoying them for a long time since I was 14/15 (I know that is not as long ago for me but still a long time) Now Chocolate bars are not really good for you in general and to then deep fry them is deadly! Well at least my School thought so and treid to ban us from leaving at lunch time to go get them. My arguement was I had to walk over a mile to get it so it was practically a trainning session!
I love when the kids give you notes the spelling makes them even more endearing (I'm using spell check as I can already see a few typos)
The Keg thing we got that exact gift from my in-laws for Christmas (gift certificate and baby sitting service) So I will be able to find out what all the fuss is about myself in the not so distant future. Whats this about a big game? who are the knights? I'm glad they won and all but you need to inform your ignorant readers more about this kind of detail.
Finally I am liking your optimism on getting older but I don't buy it for second and I'll still hang on to enjoying my 20's thank you very much.
Now you can see who really is bored on a saturday morning.
Oh er, it sounds as if you had a perfect birthday!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad!! You deserve it!!
I absolutely LOVE those little misspelled love notes we get from our little ones...when your 13 yr. old does it..not so much.
What a thoughtful hubby and friend, what could possibly be better than starting your day with chocolate and ending it with a steak dinner?! YUM!
Luv u my dear "much older" friend(hey that's my story and I'm sticking to it!)
