Happy Birthday, Bob!

Bob turned the big 4-0 today - yikes! I married a much much much older man! All of the kids woke up bright and early so that we would have plenty of time for a small celebration before school. American Idol was on last night so my intention to go get balloons and make the place festive was a failure but we did get donuts and candles - okay I confess that I sent Bob out during AI to get his own donuts and candles for this morning but the thought was mine and mine alone!

Everyone was dressed and ready for school by 6:30 a.m. and thrilled to find donuts waiting for breakfast. They had to wait until I was done getting sick before they could sing and eat - my 2 hour ritual in the morning!
Happy Birthday to Daddy! Annie was only interested in ONE thing - getting her hands on that donut! She did manage to convince Daddy to give her his eventually!
Daddy sharing his donut with Annie!
Molly and Daddy doing cheers with their donuts while Annie tries to find a way to get some!
Peter and Daddy hugging with their donuts this morning! Peter was on his best behavior for Daddy's birthday - morning is not usually his best time of day but he did great!
Daddy and the kids celebrating - check out Annie with her mouth open trying to get a bite!
Annie still looking a little bit sick but loving her donut!
Annie needed a diaper change and I asked Molly to watch her while I grabbed new pajamas for her. Molly decided to try to change Annie's diaper and didn't realize that she had pooped! She was disgusted and yelling for me to come quickly. I told her to wait so I could get this on film - my daughter changing a poopy diaper! Annie was so patient as Molly and I cracked up!
Peter and Annie - he is very concerned about her ears and blesses them every day and night! We may have a priest in the making!

The kids helped me compile a list of ten things they love about Daddy!
1. Daddy is handsome and strong.
2. Daddy loves us!
3. Daddy helps us with our homework everyday and he knows the answers!
4. Daddy tucks us into bed with big wet sloppy kisses!
5. Daddy is happy to see us when he picks us up at school!
6. Daddy coaches our baseball team!
7. Daddy plays board games with us everyday!
8. Daddy shares his Swedish Fish with us!
9. Daddy always helps people when they are in trouble!
10. Daddy hugs and kisses us all the time and for no reason!
GNM - ILY!

I am so thrilled you found Bob and that he is a part of our family! What a great celebration of such an awesome man, father, son and of course cousin in-law {I find the in-law part unnecessary-it feels like Bob was always family}. I hadn't dared to get excited for my trip home before now but seeing all the pics, my heart swells...add that to being at the hospital tonight to greet my new "nephew" Ben {my friend Randal & his wife's 22 hour old son} and I'm sooooo ready for some family love-hope Bob has some left for me after his great birthday celebrations:-) xoxoBeth
