Da Agenda

The Passive Agressive Cake from Kayla

Pre Battle

Yes, today is my birthday, and when I have a birthday I take full advantage.  In fact, since I am not one to get caught up in my own self, I have often exploited the fact that “it’s your birthday and you can do anything you want.”  It’s a quote from my late mom, who probably never said it, and Lord knows never believed it, but who allowed me to get away with it nonetheless.  I still do to this day.

Movies

Menchies

Craft Store

Toy/Costume Store

But as I said, I am not really about myself, so as a dad I have used the day to give my kids a good time, and such was the case today.  And since Scotty and Stephy are not home I said to Ben and my niece Kayla (who leaves tomorrow for home) “it’s my birthday, and on my birthday I can do anything I want……what would you like to do?”  And I woke up to “the list.”

And quite honestly, it has been one of the best birthdays I have ever had.  We hit the movies, the toy store, the craft store, Menchies, in fact EVERYTHING on their list but the pool, which we just didn’t have time for.  And I ended the day with ice cream cake (which I only had a piece) and I got them all birthday cake pops.  Of course I also got Kayla and Ben silly string to get my wife and her mom, and as soon as they got them with that I gave my wife and mother-in-law squirt guns to dish out a little revenge.  It was a great night.

So yes, I have completed yet another year, but I am fine with it…..really.  I only wish Stephy and Scotty  could have joined us for the battle.   Maybe if I survive another year we can try to make it happen!

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
