I woke up this morning to footsteps coming down the stairs. Usually the kids always come to my side of the bed since Daddy is such a deep sleeper. This morning I heard Kaitlyn trying to wake up Daddy. She was very excited since today was donuts for Dad at school and my birthday. I didn't hear all of what she said but got the just of it. She was working on a special something for my birthday. She ran upstairs and got Jenna. They were so cute they went to the kitchen and began making breakfast for me. (Okay as a Mom this is actually pretty frightening with no supervision.) Joe was in the shower and I could hear the girls in the kitchen. I didn't dare get up for fear of breaking their hearts. I was somewhat relieved when Kaitlyn came in and asked me where my favorite cereal was. ( cereal can't be too messy)Then what milk should I use? Mom do you put sugar on it? Then the final product ...... 
I just love these little munchkins! How creative and with NO help. They also made me some very cute cards. 
They also prompted Madelyn to say happy birthday by breaking it into syllables for her. She is such a little parrot these days.
Joe makes a mean chocolate cake with homemade chocolate buttercream frosting! Yummy!
I better go get started on that treadmill NOW!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! How cute! Your girls are little dolls!
ReplyDeletemmmmmm.... chocolate cake.... was it as good as it sounds?
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!! What darling kids you have. The cake looks yummy too!
ReplyDeleteWow - Joe is a man of many talents. A dentist, a woodworker, a mullet-man, a mexican, and now a chef! I'm impressed! Happy Birthday! BTW - what's this I hear about you working on that treadmill 3x a day! You are nuts!
ReplyDeleteI hope one day my girls will be so thoughtful. Boys. . . they just don't get it. If they remember to say Happy Birthday I feel pretty good. I told my husband his daughters will be the ones that take care of him when he is old and gray. Happy Birthday.
