On my 32nd birthday...

*I read blogs in my pj's in the morning for longer than usual and just relaxed.

*I shaved my legs. Most women view shaving as a pain (in the legs--ha ha), but I only shave about once a month and think of it as a good excuse to spend more time in the shower.

*I ate ice cream for lunch. And not just any ice cream. I'm talkin Cold Stone. Mmmmm...Peanut butter with brownies. AND it was free. For my birthday. Sweet.

*When the doorbell rang in the early afternoon, I found a cute little old man holding

this gorgeous (and delicious!) fruit arrangement

a friend had sent. I felt so sophisticated!
I ate some of it as an afternoon snack and
figured it made up for the ice cream lunch.
You're with me on this, right?

*I got to clean up fifty baby wipes that

Caroline pulled out one-by-one
as I was signing for my fruit
and reading the card. Grrrrr.

*I read Whitney a book about giant squids. We're both fascinated by them right now. They're so mysterious and creepy.

*I played "Pin-the-missing-front-teeth-on-Brandon."

Hilarious! Andrew is so creative. We had a blast playing this.

Andrew won and Brandon was an oh-so-close second.

*We got to break a High School Musical pinata and shove my kids out of the way to get more candy. Oh, wait....I mean....

I watched my kids frolic with joy as they collected the goodies.

*I got to eat out at Poblano's, my favorite local Mexican food.
Yes!


Watched Caroline make her sour face while chewing on a lemon.
(Yet she always goes back for more!)

And laughed while the kids danced to the live music.

Whit even talked her Daddy into dancing with her.

*Finished off the night with
cheesecake and watching SYTYCD.

I must say it was a good day.

(I didn't even have to use my AK.)

Oh, and I got a bonus date the next night. Andrew got a friend to babysit so that we could up to the Raleigh to the temple.

It was wonderful!
