A Project, A Birthday, and an Old Lady with Canes

Just wait 'till you see what I made! I'll post them tomorrow for my Wednesday project. I totally stole the idea, but who cares. Good ideas are meant to be stolen, right?

Yesterday was Curtis' birthday. He has a big test coming up on Saturday, so he spent a good portion of the day studying. Yuck!

I took the kids shopping to get them out of the house. I should have just shot myself in the foot ahead of time.

Between whining, hungry kids, incompetent salespeople, nausea, and a child begging, BEGGING!!!, for a hamster the whole time(!), it was fabulous.

Everyone should be so lucky.

But I digress. In the afternoon we went on a hike on the waterfall trail at the White Tanks. Now that is something that everyone should do. It's perfect for families. Even little kids and strollers can make it. I got passed up by a woman with 2 canes. Yes, 2!!!

The kids loved it. Curtis loved it. Me, not as much (nausea and all). I'm glad everyone else had fun, though.

Afterwards we went to Red Robin for dinner. Hannah announced that we were going to eat more calories than we had burned on the hike. "Thanks, Hannah. Now pass the fries."

When we got home he opened presents and got his birthday song and family group hug.

It turned out to be a fun day for Curtis after all.

Love you, honey!
