Happy Birthday to Me!

Blowing out the candles
The Tiger and Toucan puzzle the boys picked out for me
My new work out clothes. Compliments of Katie.

When I woke up yesterday morning, Ethan was standing outside my door waiting to tell me happy birthday. It was so cute. He told me he was going to pick out a balloon for me. A white one and a pink one. He didn't let me down. I came home from work to all sorts of great things. Susan had hung a happy birthday banner for me, and there were white and pink and blue balloons. I went down stairs to put my bag away, and found my room decorated with streamers and signs....and the biggest shocker....CLEAN. I went back upstairs and found my friend Katie hiding out. She had come and cleaned my room AND did my laundry for me. What a great friend!
Susan prepared a really yummy dinner of BBQ meatballs and rice (one of my favorites). And then made a pound cake (mmmmmm....) and bought ice cream for me. She had taken all the kids to the bookstore to go shopping for gifts for me too. I was well taken care of on my birthday. She got me a new book, and the new Pride and Prejudice movie. I am sure lucky to be able to live with such a great family!!
One of the ladies at work bought a new washer over the weekend, because her old one didn't match her new dryer. So she told me I could have her old one. I'm the luckiest person ever!!!!
