I have a fabulous family! They made my birthday just wonderful this year. Randy and Colin made me breakfast while Robyn played "Happy Birthday" and a host of other songs for me on her fiddle as I got ready for the day.
Randy baked the cake. Grace frosted it. Robyn candled it. And Colin put the customary candy pumpkins on it. (I cannot have a birthday cake without candy pumpkins - it just wouldn't be my birthday without them.) It was delicious!
Randy got me the lovely sweater that I am wearing, the roses and two boxes of candy. The kids were extra happy all day, just for me because, like my mother, all I want for presents is happy children. They know that "When I choose to obey, I'll be happy all day." (It really does work out that way, even for Mommies, but that is another post in itself. Like should I get up and shower before the kids need me or sleep in and should I do the dishes right after dinner or let them pile up for a while.)
We spent the whole day just hanging 'round the house. It rained all morning so Randy and I worked on our goals for the year (I don't have much time left to get everything-I-am-going-to-do-before-I'm-thirty done.) Then, when it quit raining, the girls and I planted the spring flower bulbs and the garlic in the garden. Fun Stuff!

Ahhh! Happy birthday!! Forgive the bad friend for missing it and accept the belated congratulations! (Why does that word look so weird? Sorry. Tangent.)
Good luck on the goals! And imagine eating a piece of gooey cake or pie or whatever from me. 'Cause that's what I'd make you if I lived within a reasonable quick-visit distance.
Isn't it sad how close to 30 we are? Remember when that seemed so old?
