Haaappy Birthday to meeee!!!! Today I am officially 33. Mike takes great pleasure in the fact that for the next 19 days I am the same age as he. He does so well getting the kids involved and excited about my birthday. Today was no exception! They always help him make me a special breakfast, this morning it was fried potatoes, eggs, bacon, and fresh fruit.. yum! Then they always make a cake for me and decorate it to their liking. I think this year they overdid themselves! Maria was in charge of the purple decorating.. Lillian put the letters on, and Mikey placed the candles perfectly! It was delicous! I got two beautiful rose plants from the girls, some scratch-off tickets from Mikey and a day of freedom from Mike! He took care of the kids and chores for the day while I went shopping for my own gift! What could be better! It was all about the accessories today! I really needed a new purse.. I had a big Mom/diaper bag purse.. I no longer have diapers! Way past time for a new "no babies here, look at me, I'm back!" purse! I also really splurged and got a new fancy hat and leather gloves. Last spring I scored a phenomenal red wool coat on clearance and the hat and gloves will just set it off perfectly! As I was shopping for hats it struck me what a small selection they had. Back in the day the hat is what made the outfit. In modern day times shoes have now taken that role and you very rarely see hats anymore. It's so sad, personally I love hats.. I also love shoes.. Perhaps for the next generation the shoes AND hats will equally share the responsibility as the perfect accessory! Anyway, I had a great day. Thank you Mike for making my birthday so special. I love you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to YOU! What a fabulous day! I am so proud of Mike and the kids for giving you a much deserved day of YOU! Great gift buying. I love it that you have just told me that I will (someday) be rid of the screaming "I am a MOM" diaper bag. :) You have earned your "I'm back" accessories. As a mom, you are such an inspiration to me as I am just getting started. Happy Birthday, again!
