Anyway, as an early birthday present, my wonderful Mom took the 3 little ones last night and we were down to only 2 kids - the older 2 - the easy 2 - you know the 2 that you can tell to go away and entertain yourselves while Mom and Dad actually get to sit down and have a conversation - uninterrupted and all!!!
Of course it would have worked a heck of a lot better if Dad didn't constantly procrastinate and have to go out after 7 (yes 7!) soccer games to buy Mom a birthday present!!! Ha!
Oh well, it was all good. I got some quiet time (after watching the Hulk on TV for a while because the older 2 don't ever get to watch what they want to watch because everything they want to watch is not appropriate for the younger 3) and a present and I didn't once have to wipe any one's bottom! How's that for a birthday gift?
We headed to Mom's today to pick up the little ones and to have a yummy dinner and CAKE!!! Cheesecake to be exact, cause I just don't like Birthday Cake, weird I know!
and yes, they were STILL swimming...
their lips were blue but they were swimming! Oh well, at least they won't need a bath tonight:)
I have to say that even though I am just 3 short years away from that big (gulp) 50, I really don't feel very 50ish. Must be all that bottom wiping!! Hehe!
To join in on Stefanie's Sunday Snapshot go here,
生日快乐, Annie!!! Hope you had a wonderful day! (And my husband chooses cheesecake over birthday cake, too. Or Key Lime Pie.)

ReplyDeleteAnnie - I tried...I really tried to share my birthday wishes and blessings with you last night at about 11:45pm...but then blogger kept giving me this frustrating "error" messages...so I come today bearing Birthday wishes my friend!! :) And there's NO WAY you are 47!! definitely 10 years younger and I agree our sweet ones from China help that process along! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, I would have never guessed that you were 47, I was thinking more like.... late 30s early 40s. Sounds like you had a great day!
ReplyDeleteSoooooo glad you had such a great birthday!! Looking forward to seeing all of you again!
ReplyDeleteHappy late birthday!! I prefer cheesecake too or even pumpkin pie. My birthday is on around Thanksgiving every year. A couple of years ago my sister-in-law made pumpkin cheesecake so I got the best of both worlds. Yum!! Hope you had a great great birthday!
