Happy Birthday to Me!

ByKaren

I turned 37 today. Yup 37! I feel like it was just yesterday that I was turning 30 and now it’s 7 years later. Time really flies, especially when you have kids.

My mother had us over for dinner and cake this past weekend for my birthday. It was nice. The girls loved signing happy birthday to me.

They are such good helpers. LOL

Tonight Steve took us out to dinner, we went to the bar in Pawcatuck, we use to go to all the time before kids. I love their burgers so I was happy to go there. Plus the girls really like going there and sitting on the high stools.

It was a nice birthday. I wasn’t looking forward to it but it turned out great in so many ways.

Day Two of Spring Break School Vacation {Daddy’s Birthday}

ByKaren

It’s Day two of the girl’s Spring Break and today we celebrated my husband’s birthday.   We usually go out for dinner to celebrate a birthday but we couldn’t tonight because Holly had softball practice and Allison had soccer practice so since the girls are home today, we decided to take Daddy to lunch for his birthday.   He chose Gregg’s and no one minded.  They have a special on Tuesday that when you order from the regular menu you get a drink and a desert for an extra $3.50.  That’s a great deal since the drinks alone are $2.50 and the desserts are $6.  So we took two slices of cake home to celebrate daddy’s birthday after practice. Happy 43rd Birthday Steve!  xoxo Holly has…

Steve would have been 46 today

ByKaren

I have amazing friends. I spent the day with some of them and we had a great time. We went to dinner and we celebrated Steve. We know he was there with us because a song he loved, that we were talking about earlier today, came on while at dinner. Then we saw a boat similar to the one his parents owned while he was growing up. We all agree that was him telling us he was there. Thank you for all the birthday wishes for him, all the texts and love you all sent us today. It really helps and I appreciate it so much!!!

Cowgirl Boots are COOL when you are 7

ByKaren

  Cowgirl boots are cool when you are 7 and 37.  But this 7 year old recently discovered just how cool they are!  Holly received the above pink cowgirl boots a few years ago from a friend – they were a hand me down.  They didn’t fit her and pretty much were pushed to the back of her closet.  One weekend I cleaned our her closet and they resurfaced again and………… she hasn’t taken them off since. This picture was taking on her 7th birthday and the bus driver thought she got these boots for her birthday.  I explained that they were old and had been ‘rediscovered’ after some cleaning. Holly wanted to wear them to school but I said ‘No, your feet will hurt…

Allison’s Kindergarten Birthday Party

ByKaren

Allison has the first of many birthday celebrations today.  Since it was school vacation this week, I figured it was the perfect time for her to have a party with some of her Kindergarten friends.  Since I have a boot on my foot and getting around is a big hassle, I convinced here to have the party somewhere else so mommy didn’t have to do all the work. We agreed with AC Moore for an Arts & Crafts party as long as she could do something with Zebra Print.  She was thrilled with the idea and couldn’t wait for the day to come. They did such a great job at AC Moore with the kids and I was very impressed with the party. The kids…

Day Five of Spring Break School Vacation {Birthday Party}

ByKaren

Today was day 5 of the girl’s spring break and the last day (not counting the weekend).   To end the week we had a birthday party for Allison at AC Moore.  She had her party there last year and loved it so much she asked to go there again.  I don’t mind because not only is it affordable, but the staff is great and she can pick her own craft. Before we began, she had them write their name on the table (which was covered with kraft paper) and also to draw a picture.   A lot of her friends drew pictures of zebras which I thought was adorable! Finally it was time to start the craft.  She choose to make a parachord bracelet but I…
