A Happy Happy Birthday

whew...what a whirlwind birthday weekend!
it had just a bit of all my favorite things
time alone to reflect (and shop)
time to eat yummy home cooked food 
time to eat yummy restaurant food
time to celebrate with friends and
time to love this sweet little family I adore

Riley made me an adorable pop up card that said "Mom rocks!"
a homemade watercolor puzzle
and wrapped up some Tootsie Rolls

Janey made a beautiful card and a coupon 
the coupon was two-sided
one side was good for a ride on the "Love Bus"
the other side for a "Spa Day"
she said I could use them as often as I wanted and they never expire
now that is my kind of coupon

see that big wrapped present
want to know what it is????
a new computer monitor
quite the surprise and one the girls were thrilled about too
makes playing math games and looking at American Girl
all the more exciting


Thank you for a wonderful birthday!

********************************************************

last night I cashed in my "Love Bus" coupon
Janey said the Love Bus can be anywhere really
last night it was snuggling under the covers in her bed
she said the Love Bus is all about
chatting and getting to know each other
and that there are no rules on the Love Bus
we talked
laughed and 
hugged
I think I'll be booking a return trip real soon
Love You Janey Brooke

  8. What a great birthday. Coupons and kids' art are my favorite gifts, for sure.
    And thanks for the note in the mail. It was fun to hear from you. May your totes work forever (at least until you're sick of them!).
