A Birthday Celebration - the fairytale version

Yesterday, March 3rd, was my birthday. It was a lovely day, well, it was raining, but it was very nice to have my whole family home. The kids were home for Casimir Pulaski day (if you are curious as to who he is and why we get that day off here I will tell you later). BigGuy took off to celebrate my day and keep the kids at bay. He let me sleep late. Spidey slept late with me and snuggled me as we were waking up. That was super sweet. BigGuy even shut the door so that Babers and the dogs couldn't come in and disturb us. Once awake we did a few morning needs to be done things and then headed out of the house to have some breakfast. Before breakfast we needed to sign SuperStar up for GS Camp. We were told that the registrations go fast and furious and fill up quickly, so we wanted to be there early. We got her and her cousin into the camp of their choice. Yea! Then off to IHOP. This was kinda funny - Spidey had talked about IHOP for days - "I want to go to the International House of Pancakes" was his mantra. Once there SuperStar pointed out how lucky we were that we had an IHOP and an International House of Pancakes. I pointed out that IHOP was an acronym for the full title. Fun things you can learn.

Anyway, after a lovely breakfast during which the waiter was always on top of things and the kids were extra lovely and well mannered we headed to pick up some videos. We also had to go back to the GS Office to meet my co-leader and return some cookies. Easily done. Once home the kids watched their videos and BigGuy went to get the makings for dinner and a cake. I did some tasks needing done. Once home from the store we made a big ole pot of chili and then he and the kids made a cake. BigGuy had to shuttle the kids to swim lessons so I had a little over an hour all to myself in the quiet. It was nice. After they got home we had dinner and then they lit the candles for my cake. SuperStar worked hard on a bracelet for me that is almost finished - Spidey gave me a sweet hug for my birthday - Dawson didn't scream much for my birthday and BigGuy gave me a lovely day filled with his efforts to make sure it included everything that I was wishing for - and his famous Carrot Cake (if you haven't had it you should!!).

Happy Birthday To Me!!

If that's the fairy tale version did your birthday not really go very well? Or is it just that you left out some of the more day to day whinings and mumblings? It sounds like a lovely day.
