My birthday!

Today I turned 25, again! I stopped counting how many times I've turned 25 according to my boys!

For my birthday the boys decided they would make me dinner and a cake. My wonderful husband decided to take on this challenge! However...they are boys. I'm not sure planning and preparation has been instilled in them yet. Todd arrived home at 6pm tonight. I bit later than I thought as he "left work early because it was my birthday". Translation: He left work early to go shopping for my birthday.

Here are a few birthday FAQ's for you!

Q: How long does it take 3 boys and a Dad to make a Taco salad and a birthday cake?
A: Aproximately 55 minutes! Probably twice as long as the Dad by himself.

Q: Does a birthday cake still taste good if your 10 yr old forgets to put the oil in it?
A: Yes, it sticks to the bottom and is a little dry, but it still tastes good.

Q: How long does it take 4 boys to wrap 1 present and write birthday cards?
A: 30 minutes, if you include the foam sword battle in the middle of the task.

Q: How many boys remembered to bring up the present they had wrapped just minutes before?
A: None! It did take 2 reminders from their dad before they realized I hadn't actually opened their present yet!

Q: How many boys made my birthday special today?
A: 6, including the big boy that I married!

Thanks for the great birthday boys!

Here are my party planners.

You have got a very sweet bunch of boys there.

They bought me a blender! Oh boy! Todd's not teaching them very well is he? Really, it's what I asked for! Small appliances do make some women happy!

Don't you love the pirate hat! Aarrggg!
