Happy 30th Birthday, David!

Today my hubby turned 30! I don't usually procrastinate gift purchasing. This time I did, and it didn't go so well. At the beginning of this week our family went to The Great Wolf Lodge. We had sooo much fun (and I'll blog about that later when I'm feeling better). My plan was to take the girls shopping with me when we returned on Thursday or Friday. That way they could be involved with getting Daddy a present and wrapping it, ect. Well, Thursday I woke up with a sore throat and I felt a little sick. I figured I'd go shopping on Friday when I felt better. Thursday night I felt worse. I woke up in the night with a fever. So I never made it to the store. So last night I told David that I was sorry I didn't get him a gift and I invited him to order something for himself online. This morning he reported that he ordered himself a new pair of dress shoes from Zappos. He also ordered a year membership to the NRA, which includes a magazine subscription. See, that I would have never thought of . :)

David made his own birthday cake with the girls last night. I even planned a little surprise over the hill birthday party for him but I realized I wasn't feeling up to it and our guests probably didn't want to get sick. Yesterday I talked to my sister on the phone and I told her the party was canceled. Then I told David all about my good intentions to give him a surprise party. Then this morning I even had David call up our friends and tell them that his surprise party was off.

So David's 30th birthday has been spent taking care of me and the kids. Oh yeah, and attempting to put together a changing table which came with a messed up part. He has to call the manufacturer in British Columbia on Monday and ask for a replacement part. David took the kids outside to play and Eliza commented that Daddy needed to mow the lawn because the grass was too long. So, David also mowed the grass while the kids blew bubbles on the porch. I tried to tell David that he ought to get used to it. Birthdays are probably going to be more like this now that he is over the hill. We are old now, after all.

Happy 30th Birthday, Honey! I am glad you were born!
