My Birthday!

    I had another birthday!! It was great. The kids get so excited, you can’t help but be excited with them. I woke the boys up for school and Benji says, “It’s time to wake up – and it’s time for your birthday! Happy Birthday Mom!”

    We opened presents first thing in the morning. Benji and Packer go to school at 7:45 and they always want to do it before so…. we did. I got way too many gifts. They are all Sweet gifts though. I got a new Lego set and a jacket and skirt and boots and leggings and a pressure cooker! and I got my birthday PUZZLE! It was a great day!

    I got an early start on my puzzle, got the kids off to school and then I got the itch to go help Joel paint his new house so I loaded up the 3 littles and went and painted for 2 hours. By the time Millie started drinking the paint I figured it was time to call it quits.

    I worked on the puzzle all afternoon and the kids either helped or entertained themselves. Michelle and LaNell stopped by and I ate yummy cupcakes. Ben brought home Cafe Rio for dinner! We watched Monday night football and ate cupcakes. I finished my puzzle just as we were ready to put the kids to bed! They were worried that I wouldn’t finish… I always finish!

    I also got to talk on my phone throughout the day to my parents and siblings and friends! My phone was at 5% battery by mid day so you know it was a good day. I love having so many siblings. I didn’t get 11 sibling calls but it was close 🙂 While I don’t enjoy getting older, I do believe in celebrating LIFE. I love my LIFE. Most days I just can’t believe how good I have it. (I am knocking on wood right now) but I have been blessed in every way I ever hoped I would be by my 35th year.

    One of the Nettesheim traditions is that you can’t talk while eating your birthday cake or else you have to finish eating the cake under the kitchen table. I TOTALLY FORGOT. I took a bite of cake and started talking so I spent a few minutes under the table that night.
