Jason's 35th Birthday

The day started with me singing THE birthday song to Jason.  We have to sing it to everyone on their birthday.  Last year I forgot to sing it to Jason.  I couldn't believe that I did that, especially after going on strike the year before because no one sang it to me.  The song goes a little something like this, 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY
PAIN AND SORROW FILL THE AIR
PEOPLE DYING EVERY WHERE
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY

It's a feel good in my family and we look forward to it when it's our birthday.  I can't believe Jason thought it was a little creepy that when he woke me up in the morning, before I even opened my eyes, I laid next to him and sang it to him.  Geesh - He spooks easily.

- Later that evening - 



OMG Did we laugh Friday night.  My mom, sister Leigh, and brother Michael came over for dinner.  We put the kids to bed and decided to play Rummy.  While we were shuffling the cards getting ready to start we tried to get Michael to play the game with us.  (He's 16 and is way to cool to hang with us.)  My mom said, "Don't bother.  He doesn't interact with anybody if it's not virtually." I thought about and decided I could be virtual.   So Jason went out to the garage and got a box, Leigh went to the office and got a sharpie, and I delegated naturally.  My mom got out her camera.  Then I put the box on my head and became a tv.  All that hard work and he still wouldn't play with us.  -- weird I thought that would work. 
So if that's how we started the night you can imagine how stupid we got from there.  Our sides hurt the next morning from laughing so hard.  My eyes stung from crying tears of laughter.  Good news though, I was sitting down all night so I never peed my pants.  Yeah Me!

Here are some more birthday wishes via Facebook that Jason received.

Happy Birthday to the love of my life.  

Jason - Not sure where, or who, I would be without you.  You make all my dreams come true.  Our lives are a crazy whirlwind of one mommy / daddy, to Collin spilled Ben's drink, then watch this guys, to HOLY CRAP GET DOWN FROM THERE, and finally Daddy's Home and I Love You Mommy that sometime we forget to put all that aside for a moment and be just the two of us.  (which is why you are getting my birthday note 3 days after your birthday - I like to keep the celebration going).  I love you always and forever and wouldn't choose anyone else to ride the crazy train with.  

P.S.  Your still my longest relationship.  





Star of the Week - BENJAMIN


Benjamin has been asking to be "Star of the Week" at daycare for about 2 months now, ever since he brought home his All About Me poster from Kindergarden.  Last week I asked his teachers if he was coming up in the rotation and they said they didn't really have a rotation, so next week would work.  He came up to me today when I picked him up and very non-challontly told me it was his turn for STAR OF THE WEEK, like it was no big deal.  I looked at him with a big smile, Really!, and he couldn't hold it in any longer.  His smile went from ear to ear as he brought me the new poster to fill out.  Super exciting!!

The Best Wake Up Alarm Ever


6:30 am Jason and I were the only ones still sleeping in our house.  That was until we heard a very large voice from a very small person scream into our room, "Daddy's Home!!!" Then he ran away.  We just laid there and chuckled quietly.  Then he came back and said (again very loudly), "Daddy we made you birthday cards last night.  Mommy said to make Daddy birthday cards." and then ran away again.    Jason just laughed and said to me, "I love you."  - - -  No secrets in this house.
