The Puddles

I actually found a Girl Scout Thin Mint cookie ice cream cake.  I think it was made just for Chris.  All of his favorite things in one cake.

He switched his day off to his birthday so he could “get some work done around the house.” Whatever.  I told him that he was silly to even think about chores.  So he hung out while I worked.  I’m not sure of what he did, but I did hear a lot of laughter coming from the living room.  He decided to mow the yard after lunch and then come back inside and hang out some more.  He has decided that he wants a desk in my office for some personal space (I don’t think he has ever forgiven me for taking over the office for my JOB!).  But didn’t find exactly what he wanted.  He is still looking.  We had some wonderful visitors come over to wish him a happy birthday.  He enjoyed the visit.  So I think his day went well. He did have to end it by making an emergency visit to the hospital for a church member, but I don’t he minded too much.  Of course, Ben jumping out of a tree didn’t help the day.  But Daddy didn’t mind playing EMT either.  The kids loved spending time with Daddy and giving him lots of hugs to remind him that today was a great day.
