Hi, everyone! Today was Barry's birthday and I think he had a pretty good one. We had the primary program at church today and it was pretty cute. The boys did really well and were pretty well behaved. No "cock-a-doodle-doo" this time. Karina needed help with her part but she still did pretty good. I was wishing I was in the primary again today so I could join the ice cream sundae/brownie/nacho party. Mmm, it looked good. At least it saved me having to make lunch for the kids.
We missed those of you who didn't get to join us for Karina and Barry's birthday party. It was lots of fun and pretty crowded. I'm glad the weather was nice enough to let most of us eat outside on the deck. For those of you who missed the grand reveal, I've been working on Barry's gift for awhile now. He got his new office today and is VERY excited. We locked it all week and put paper up on the windows so he couldn't see what we were doing. Haha. Amazingly enough Karina didn't give away all the details so most of it, if not all of it, was a surprise. He couldn't resist trying to drag information out of her, though. Then he was scanning me trying to find any stray bits of paint I'd missed washing off so he could figure out what the color was. He knew one desk was in there because it was gone from our room last night but I don't think he figured out the rest!
The kids and I were really excited, too, and loved handing him his keys to the door. He promptly went downstairs to go see it followed by everyone else. We videotaped his reaction when he got to see it, too.
He came into the boys' room later and had Kayli do the happy dance. (Okay, he jiggles her around and makes her dance like a puppet). He joyfully said it was time to go buy office supplies. He has really wanted an office for awhile now and had a few specifics. Fortunately we were able to work those in. He definitely needs it now with all the studying he's been doing for his GRE and starting his Master's work.
It was hard to pull some things together but it all worked out in the end, looks great and it was lots of fun to give him a present I knew he'd be REALLY excited about.
Thanks to everyone who was able to make it or called to make his day special!
