My birthday weekend!

August 5, 2010 Ticia 13 Comments

Okay, I just wanted to put some of these pictures up because they’re way too cute!  And how else will I remember these important things, without pictures?
001
We started off the weekend with Tara keeping the kids for the night.  SCORE!  Jeff and I attempted to see a movie, but ended up getting dinner and heading home for a movie there.

The next morning we got to watch the movie from the night before, and had a blast!  Then we picked the kids up and Tara came over and we watched movies and had chocolate fondue (that’s the picture).

Okay, those are just because I’m so happy we finally got a chance to use it (though realistically we need more people for it to make sense for the use of materials).

And on my birthday we went swimming.  My request for my birthday was, I don’t want to cook at all.  So, Jeff came up with a plan of going to Olive Garden, going swimming, and I got breakfast in bed.

All in all, I’d say I scored for my birthday!

    Happy birthday! It's nice that you got to spend it the way you wanted. Swimming and watching movies would be a score here too.

    I always request to not cook on my birthday too! I love breakfast in bed. Tom's aunt has one of those chocolate fountains. I love it when we use it at her house, but I would be VERY AFRAID to use it in my house!!!!!!!

    That looks like so much fun! I'd be really scared to do a chocolate fountain with Tornado Boy – you're brave!

    Happy birthday! The chocolate fountain looks so good. I bet that was fun. It so nice to get a night without kids every now and then.

    Happy belated birthday Ticia. Birthdays are rare days where mum gets a “day off” so to speak. Happy to hear that your hubby was able to fulfill your request of no cooking and that you enjoyed your day.
