Brian's birthday was yesterday. From the moment Ellybelly woke up, she kept pointing out the fact that there was a perfectly delicious, untouched chocolate cake sitting on the table, and should be not be eating it? IMMEDIATELY?
The kids and I let Brian sleep in until 9:30 and that's when Adam declared, "HEY! IT'S MY TURN FOR A NAP!" So the three of us snuck up the stairs and pounced on Daddy. Elizabeth said, "Happy birthday, Daddy! Let's go eat cake!"
Down the stairs Brian, Elizabeth and I hopped, leaving Adam to catch a few winks. Once we were down stairs, ELizabeth grabbed Brian by the hand and dragged him toward the kitchen table.
"LOOK, DADDY! A CAKE!"
So, once again, I earned my title of SUPER-AWESOMEST MOM OF THE YEAR and I fed my two-year old chocolate cake for breakfast. We lit candles, we sang the birthday song, and that's when Elizabeth stuck her pointer finger in the frosting and dragged it slowly across the length of the caketop.
Brian and I accomplished quite a lot yesterday. Brian stained and sealed half a dozen shelves I'm planning to hang in the playroom, and I finally refinished our coffee table. I sorted and packed away all the summer clothes and we pulled out and washed all the winter clothes. We've got a huge three-bag donation for the Rescue Mission.
For dinner Brian requested delmonico steaks, for which he made a delicious sweet hot pepper sauce.
Today we're heading out for a hike after naptime to collect autumn leaves, and then we'll be picking up a few movies at the video store including Ratatouille!
Happy Birthday to the most wonderful guy in the world, Brian Piper!
