we ended craig’s birthday with strawberry cake at 8:30.
we didn’t eat dinner till 8:00…on a school night!
it was just a busy day.
there are always lots of helpers to blow out candles.

craig’s birthday gift from me was a weekend alone.
our parents took the kids for the whole weekend!
thank you so much…it was fabulous.
we pretended we were young and cool and kid-less.
we worked on the house, we went out, we cooked grown up food.
i think craig’s birthday weekend was pretty great.
he agrees.

i’ll show you soon what’s going on in there.

melissa @ the inspired room - Wait, birthday backwards? Does that mean he is not 34 but 43?
Pretending we are young, hip, cool and childless is one of our favorite things to do. We hardly ever get to experience it though. Good times!!
Sounds like a perfect happy birthday!

Crystal - my honey would LOVE that cake…how did you make it? He has a birthday coming up soon and I have been looking for the perfect strawberry cake… 🙂
Have a great day friend!

It’s as easy as 1,2,3!!
1. Pick up the book nearest to you & go to page 123.

Then pass it on!

Mrs. B - Hi! I just discovered your blog. It looks great! I love the pictures from your home and am so jealous of your craft room!

Jill (One Wired Woman) - Wow… what a great idea to have a grown-up weekend!! Those potatoes are making me moan just looking at them! See my latest blog post and you’ll see why. One last observation… when I first caught sight of that ribbon madness, I thought of myself! That is just so me. You’ve inspired me to organize. Happy Birthday Mr. Whatever!! 🙂 ~Jill

Lee Ann - hooray for Grandparents! Sounds like a fabulous weekend. Strawberry cake is my fave. Love the picture of Talby and the bubbles.

Lisa - Happy Birthday to your husband. I have to let you know I read your blog almost everyday and have come to love (in a blog reader way) your sweet family. Annie has such a laugh out loud character about her. Everytime I see a story or picture with her in it I ususally laugh out loud. Thanks for such a great blog and sharing your family tales with us.
Take Care,
Lisa
