Ok, I know it might sound lame to post about my own birthday, but it really was a wonderful birthday. The weekend before my birthday, my friend Maile (who's bday was the week before mine) and I treated ourselves to a makeover at Sephora and a makeup shopping spree. Half-way through my makeover Maile commented- "Wow, you look really pretty with makeup. I don't think I've ever seen you with makeup." I'm so pathetic! I'm happy to report I now know what a foundation primer is used for and wear makeup almost everyday. Side note- I'm pretty sure this makeup shopping spree was a result of a postpartum crisis. Doug is just happy I didn't chop my hair off again.
The morning of my birthday Doug made me open a gift that Ladd had helped him wrap the night before. Doug left and I lounged in bed for a couple of minutes waiting for Ladd to wake up. Upon waking up Ladd climbed in bed with me. When Ladd saw the present and he exclaimed "Happy YOU YOU Mommy!!" (translation- Happy Birthday Mommy) and gave me a huge hug. My heart melted. It was only 7 am and I was already having a great birthday. Later that morning my WONDERFUL friend Adrienne watched the boys for me while I spent the morning doing my BIG Target shopping day (About once a month I get 20% off at Target for a day. I usually have to make about 3 different trips to the store because I don't have enough room in my cart or car). There is nothing better than Target shopping without kids. Afterwards, Doug met me for a yummy lunch at Damico & Sons. That night Doug came home with my favorite cake- A chocolate Reeses blizzard ice cream cake from Dairy Queen! I loved every bite of it. I can't wait until next year.
