I always make sure to go all out on my boy's birthdays, you know the many that they have had! :) Not necessarily with the best presents or parties, but I want them to have the best time they can have. I do not carry this same goal out with any celebration for me and Nick, however. But none the less, today is Nick's birthday. Like I always do, he got dinner and dessert choice. I in fact picked these out, because I knew what he would want. To go Chinese, something we never have but on his birthday. I just don't like the options here, and I still did not like his dinner tonight. I then made him Turtle Brownies, with Caden's help. I got cards for Caden to decorate and then little mouth noise blower things, which my mind cannot think of the appropriate name for those. Anyways, I made more of a big deal for Caden because he is really into birthdays. So I let him help as much as he wanted and let him make the choices. He had a great time and loves when we sing his favorite song, the Happy Birthday song! We never really have extra money for gifts for ourselves, so at the last minute I decided Nick needed at least something small. I went to an Antique shop an bought him about 30 Astros Baseball cards. I couldn't believe I found that many, I thought it must be a sign. He wasn't that impressed, in fact he looked pretty disappointed. It really made me want to cry, which I did. He never gets me anything and I thought I found a very thoughtful gift, something he is always talking about, and he wasn't happy. I know he would have much rather had a new laptop or PSP or something, but I did not have the funds. I still tried to make the day special for him, I just hope he remembers that in a month for mine. I cannot believe we are 27.... time is going by way too fast!!!! Post and Carry on with the rest of your day.
