My husband actually managed to plan and pull off a surprise birthday party for me on Saturday! My sister, my cousins and I had just been saying that we should have family reunions like normal people instead of only seeing everyone at Christmas or a funeral. Our good friend (and my best drinking pal) Larry helped him cook the crabs (Thanks for your help Jimmy!). My sister baked the cake and even drew a very good Smurfette on it. Matt, my brother made jello shots and My Aunts Sharon and Mary loved them!! It was great!! I very much enjoyed it.
Yesterday was my actual birthday. We hit Walmart for groceries and I got the rest of Jarrett's school supplies that we need. Here's what I don't get. Last year they asked for all these dividers, index cards, notebooks and binders. At the end of the year, most of these things came home unopened. While his dad bought school supplies last year, it still irks me that we wasted money on all this stuff and he didn't even use it. It is possible that Mrs. Mac decided that it would be easier if Jarrett did things a different way. Hopefully this year he actually uses all this junk. I also used money that I got for my birthday to buy a video camera!!
Tyler brought Lila over to play since they missed the party Saturday and she was wild to play with Max. Jarrett also returned from vacation and Max was in heaven having his brother home and his favorite cousin to play with. The kids played all afternoon. The adults drank leftover beer from the party and Tyler and I finished off the crabs. It was a good birthday (even if my brother wanted to call the fire department to report a controlled burn when we lit the candles on the cake!)
