So half the month is over and it's whizzed by, yet again!  I had an awesome time celebrating my birthday last Thursday with my family.  My wonderful hubby treated me to a tasty strawberry cheescake and my boys gave me the royal treatment all day long!

It's so funny to see kids' reactions to grown-ups' birthdays, especially parents!  I remember at one point during the day, William asked me if I was 18 yet.  I was like, "uh, yeah! I am like DOUBLE 18 NOW!".  He sort of just looked at me with a puzzled stare.

I was treated to dinner and endless hugs and kisses for my birthday, which of course is always nice!  Then later, as I started to think about my birthday, I realized that I have reached the point where I have officially been with my husband for over half of my life!!!  Crazy.  But, even crazier is how fast the past 18+ years have gone by.  I'm so not ready to be getting any older.  I am so not ready for my kids to be getting any older!

Fast forward to today, Valentine's Day.  It was a busy day, as I had a meeting to attend this afternoon and William had a playdate.  On the way home from my meeting, I stopped by Cheesecake Factory and picked up two GINORMOUS slices of red velvet cheesecake for David and I to celebrate with and enjoy tonight once the kids went to bed.  I had to be sneaky to keep the goodies under wraps and in the fridge until tonight!

This morning William's preschool hosted a Dads & Donuts event and since I was one of the mom volunteers, I was able to get a peek at what a great time they all had together!

 

After school, it was homework time and we let the kids run around and play a bit before taking them out for a fun dinner at Red Robin.  We came home, let the kids watch an episode of Inspector Gadget (their new favorite throwback cartoon) on Netflix, then it was time for showers, stories, and sleep!

And then…..the cheesecake! YUM!

See I don't even have any pictures of it because we downed it so fast that I forgot to snap a pic.  It was good.  Trust me.
