Brian's birthday

We had a wonderful time celebrating Brian's birthday last weekend.

It started off with donuts in the morning for breakfast, opening his presents, and then going to a restaurant after work for dinner.

Brian got a new Royals shirt and a BluRay player for our bedroom (sometimes on the weekends when the kids wake up TOO early, we let them watch part of a movie - Netflix is AWESOME)

Brian chose 54th Street for dinner and we were there early enough that we got some Happy hour deals and all just shared two appetizers.  Yummy!

This past weekend, we did some more painting around the house.  We are trying to tackle one little area at a time, mainly using nap time and evenings as our dedicated time to paint.

Colin wanted to help me trim, and as you can expect, that didn't really work out very well (I let him attempt a corner and it got messy really quickly).

But, he was happy to paint a picture for me in the middle of the wall.

Apparently the top picture is Colin and the bottom one is Maggie (notice the pigtails!)

He is so cute - we obviously painted over it, but I had to document the mural.

Kindof reminds me of cavemen paintings -  :)

We hope Brian had a wonderful birthday.  Seriously couldn't ask for a more patient and loving Daddy.  Hope #33 is a great one!
