So, I turned 41 today... Not really a milestone. More like wet sand in my underwear. Annoying, but it will go away soon. (The annoyance - not the age. Darn.)
It was a laid-back day, taking the kids to school, running errands; Cody joined Josh and I for lunch, and I spent the afternoon helping Hans with the last of his school project. Plus today was Bethany's day to have peanuts reintroduced into her diet, so I made Buckeye Bars for everyone to enjoy. (They're the lazy version of Buckeye's - I spread the peanut butter in a lined pan, then pour the chocolate on top and cut into bars once the chocolate is set. Delicious AND easy!)
Cody and the kids got me WONDERFUL presents, and most of them were inexpensive (which I love!). Cody got me a really nice pair of silicone oven mitts (red) that I needed; my other ones were so old, there were thin parts that would get me burned. And fun!!! new toys for my camera! An awesome 5-in-1 foldable reflector, and some lovely lens filters. I am so excited! Bethany got me a beautiful autumn leaf candle, some Papaya scented tea lights (for the christmas gift she got me), and a bag of coconut M&M's. Yum. (And a dollar from Hans - I won't spend it all in one place!)
And thanks to mom and dad for the beautiful shirt (purple) and lovely scarf from Italy, with the crocheted edging (also purple)! I got a lot of calls from everyone wishing me a happy birthday; so I need to return calls, but know that I appreciate all the well wishes!
Have a great weekend - love to all!
