Mike's Birthday

Happy Birthday to Mike! Yesterday was his 44th birthday. We celebrated it rather low key. We went home and worked on the house some more. I swear that I could have the entire week off of work and concentrate on nothing but packing and still not get through the mountains of boxes that I am trying to conquer. I know tiny steps! But I am so ready to get into our house.

Around 7:30 Tony Butch, the Jackson's and the newly married Norton's came over to hang out for a little while and see our new house. We had a great time talking out on the deck. The kid enjoyed the birthday cake and ice cream. Sydney was very sure of the birthday cake that she picked out for her dad. She wouldn't let Josie touch it. She picked out the one with Rainbow color edging and writing and Rainbow sprinkles. In fact, she insisted on that one. When we started to sing Happy Birthday to Mike, she ran over to set by him. As soon as we were finished she ran back into the house to retrieve the ballon with a frog, ladybug and snail on it that she had picked out for him for his birthday. She allows him to look at the ballon, but she is in charge of carrying it around.
