happy birthday, b

Having a birthday on Monday kinda stinks. Monday's stink anyway and we're all tired and out of our groove. 

Being a student with a birthday on Monday is probably fun....when you are in elementary school and can bring cupcakes and get a birthday crown. I don't think they do that for old dudes at culinary arts school, though. 

Poor B! We went about our busy day, after school activities, and homework. But we did manage to squeeze in some time to shower him with gifts and to eat some good food and to have a few sweets and let him know we really love him and appreciate him and think he's pretty great. 

B got lots of good Chef gifts -- this one from my mom

this one from his sister

Party animals!

Here's just one of the many reasons I married really well....

Let me elaborate....Every morning when I get up, get the kids ready, and head down stairs to make breakfast and pack lunches the coffee machine is always on, always full of water, and always ready to brew. B never leaves the house without making sure it's ready for me. This ensures I receive caffeine approximately 3 minutes faster than if I had to do any of the above myself. 3 whole minutes! And that my friends is true love!!  

Happy Birthday to a great husband and dad. I hope he had a good day, because to us he's as good as it gets.
