Today is the day that the household caters to my husband...(how is that different from any day??..hehe). He is the birthday boy today and he is turning the big _ _! AAHHHH, I married an old man.
We love you and happy birthday!
Also happening today is David's birthday party. We are throwing a pool party for him and he is very excited about that. Hopefully, it will not steal Daddy's thunder since it is on the same day!
Jam-packed, fun-filled day ahead of us...then tomorrow, off to Indiana! 12 hours in the car with just the boys and me!! WOO HOO!

Up Since 3:41 a.m.
The dog woke me up at 3:41 a.m. today and I wasn't able to go back to sleep.
Hopefully, my OCD/anxiety traits will not fail me now since there is so much to get done before my trip! It's days like these that I wish I was an avid coffee drinker. If I fall asleep in David's birthday cake then it will just have more personality. Off I go.

Park Day.
As said in the earlier post, we went and had a great several hours at the park.
The ladies in the "Mom's Group" threw a little goodbye party at the park today for a wonderful lady that is moving away. We will miss her and her kiddos greatly, but we wish them the best in their new location.
Our kids played for quite a while during our visit/farewell. We had a pitch-in type lunch and just soaked up the sun and fellowship. My children were nice and filthy when we finally left, but they had a great time.
I am so thankful to have found such a wonderful group to pal around with. These ladies are the "real deal" and would do anything to lend a helping hand if need be. What a continuous blessing for ME!

Summer Vacation.
Ahhh, the first day of summer vacation for David. He is very excited about not having school for a couple of months.
I think for his first official day out we will go to the park and swim in the pool. I will tell him the catch later.....he has to help me clean the house since we will be goofin' around all day.

Distressed Dog.
If you didn't know, we have been painting David's bedroom....doing it "dorm" style. We have completely destroyed all pink, girly existence from that end of the hall now. (Now, we just have to add some girly accents to Mommy's room....slowly but surely so Daddy can take it all in).
Anyway, during the painting process, David has been sleeping on the sleeper sofa in the family room because of the fumes. This is a very good time for David. He requested that our dog, Fargo, would be allowed to sleep with him. We agreed to that request.
The poor dog started acting out signals of distress when he saw Mommy and Daddy going to bed without him. He started walking in circles and pacing the floors. I could tell he was thinking this was not going to be good....because he really just tolerates David.
He was able to sleep with David for two nights, but now we are back to business as usual. David is in his "new and improved" room and Fargo is back with us.
Fargo started walking back and forth from our bedroom around 7:30 tonight just letting us know that he had been through enough and it was time to quit messing around. He wanted to sleep in his "normal" quarters....spoiled pooch!
Looks like he is getting his way....he is sleeping on my side of the bed right now!

And, Oh What A Doofus Am I.
Today we spent some time in the pool. I thought I would be cool like grown-ups are and float around on a raft-like device and just watch the kiddos play....usually I play too, but I just had to live on the edge!
I lubed the children with 50 SPF sunblock until their typical pale appearance was even more albinoish. I guess I just plopped the remaining block that was on my hands onto myself....apparently that was not enough to handle my old friend, the sun.
I am burnt. I am a crispy critter. This appearance of mine is obviously comical to my husband because every time he passes me or takes a glance he starts laughing. I am not that amused, though. I am hoping that this burn will be toned down by the time I have to drive to Indiana on Sunday....that could be an uncomfortable ride.
I am covered in lotions and solarcaine, I can't wait until the aroma is right under husband's nose tonight in bed...we'll see who has the last laugh then!!
