My Birthday

 My 33rd birthday is over.  My birthday was on a Monday.  A freaking Monday.  Who the heck has a birthday on a Monday?!!?  So, it was simple and sweet.  Asher wanted to have a party which I assume meant that we needed some helium balloons.  But, I didn't go get any.  Jeremy and Asher brought me these beautiful flowers though!!  William (my nephew, Sam's kid) was staying with my Mom this past week for Spring Break.  He and the boys have had a great time together!  Anyway, Tristan, William, and Vicki made me a fudge swirl birthday cake!  yummy!  William is a great little sculptor and started Tristan and Cedric on a clay journey, lol! 

 Tristan did the owl with only one eye.  William did the other one.  

 They used both regular and fondant icing.

So, we had dinner at Jeremy's parents' house last Sunday to celebrate both Pat and I's birthdays.  We had corned beef and pork (thank you!), cabbage, mashed potatoes, apple salad, and green jello cake for dessert.  It was REALLY good.  On Monday I just did a whole lot of nothing (testing pillow firmness, watching dust collect, etc.).  I made brownies for breakfast because that's what I wanted.  Then I made up a cute little tune called "brownies for your birthday".  Jeremy surprised me by taking me to see John Carter that evening.  We were going to go out to dinner but decided we were too tired and drove thru Wendy's instead.  I had a super duper day even if it was a Monday.
