Birthday Party

1. My Birthday

I am grateful to have made it another year.  The day itself was pretty uneventful, which is how I like my birthdays.  Mike was gone for an interview (keep your fingers crossed) and after school I went to ballet with Eloise. I went to lunch with Tanya and Shelby and when Mike got back later that evening I picked up Panera (because I STILL have a generous gift card) and we were in bed pretty early.  Yesterday we went out to lunch and now he is back on the road.  It was a great day and feel very loved.

2. Games

Yesterday I decided to go through the games so while Mike was home I pulled them all out so I could make sure not to throw anything important into the Goodwill pile.  I am notorious for throwing important things away on accident in order to get rid of clutter.  I have learned to ask.  

Once the boys got home Owen put together almost every kid puzzle that we own.  Our room was filled with puzzles.  I intended on taking a picture but I have only taken one picture since my last post....

3. My health
My sweet neighbors are going though a tough time.  I have been bringing them food and Mike has been doing their lawn & snow.  This morning I saw their son and things are continuing to take a turn for the worse.  Made me stop and be grateful for my health and the health of my family.

4. Ballet is changing
This past Monday was the last day of "mommy and me" ballet for Eloise. For the next session she is enrolled in a class that we sit in the hallway.  I am not going to lie -- I am pretty excited.  That damn room filled with mirrors is not good on the self esteem of an exhausted Mom who is needing to lose LOTS of baby weight.

5. Airline Tickets
Last year since we had to cancel Lake Tahoe we still have the tickets that need to be switched to another trip.  I want to go to Cabo but we will probably look into going somewhere a bit easier since we will be taking Jack with us.  Now time to plan!!
