Happy birthday Mommy!

"A birthday is just another day where you go to work and people give you love. Age is just a state of mind, and you are as old as you think you are. You have to count your blessings and be happy."
-Abhishek Bachchan

These next few weeks are going to be a little shorter than normal while we get the house painted.  We’ve been pushing it off waiting for the kids to get older but decided to go ahead and do it now since the kids don’t seem to be too interested in drawing all over the walls.  Now that I’ve said this, I expect pictures in a few weeks of large drawings covering our newly painted walls.

This week may be shorter in pictures, but it was still a great week.  Why?  It was Mommy’s birthday!  Grandpa came over to celebrate with us the night of her actual birthday and we enjoyed some steaks, potatoes, and multiple deserts.  The kids had fun giving her presents and Isla enjoyed wearing one.

We forget sometimes that being in gymnastics is keeping Ashlyn more flexible than she would otherwise be.  We walked into the living room to see her practicing her splits.  It pained me to see but Ashlyn doesn’t seem to be bothered by it.

Grandma, who was out of town for Heather’s birthday, came over on Saturday for more dinner and a belated celebration.  We enjoyed some fantastic shrimp and spent the rest of the evening playing outside in the great spring weather.
