anyway. this year jb turned the big 34. officially mid-30s land. the kids and i woke up and tried to let him sleep in a little bit. we picked up a bagel and a gingerbread latte to bring him in bed. then we loaded up the kids and pups and went to explore allen park - a hiking trail on 10 acres right around the corner from our house that we never knew about. it was rad. it was kind of a dreary day, but we made the most of the fresh air. then we went to trudy's for some lunch and headed home. the kids napped and we rested and then i sent justin on a mission with the kids to get away from the house. he strolled them to the park and i told him they had to be gone at least 45 minutes.
while they were out, i scrambled around to get everything ready. i packed wine and water and tea lights in mason jars and brie in puff pastry, along with lots of other yummy snacky/dinner items. when they got back, miss crystal arrived to babysit, and i brought justin down to auditorium shores. we laid out our blankets on a hill overlooking downtown all lit up. it was pretty chilly and windy, but we made the most of it and it was nice to be outside and get a chance to visit without being interrupted 94 times each minute.
after "dinner", we went to uchiko for some fried milk for dessert. it was heavenly, as always.
someday we'll do something really spectacular to make up for all the mediocre years of daddy's birthday. until then, we're really lucky he's such a good sport about it all.
