Happy Birthday Todd!

Yesterday was Todd's birthday and he turned THE BIG 40! Yipee! Now he can't say to me, "I'm still in my 30's." Too bad honey! Welcome to the new decade!

My kids picked out a little balloon for him and stuck it in his truck for him to find in the morning with some homemade cards. Unfortunately he didn't drive yesterday....he took his bike, so he didn't even see them until he got home. When he did see the balloon, he commented that it wasn't nearly as big as the one I got for my birthday. Do you remember the big smiley balloon? Here's a picture just in case you forgot. Yes, it's HUGE!

Here's the one Todd got for HIS birthday! Slightly smaller......

But you see, here's the thing. My balloon is STILL hanging in my living room, right where we put it on MY birthday.....6 WEEKS AGO! So I asked him why I needed to buy another BIG balloon, when we still have a perfectly good one already? (makes perfect sense to me). But here are the two of them together, so you can get the full effect. They're really only slightly different in size....HA!

At any rate, I refuse to take mine down until it dies (or gets popped by my children). I can't believe it's lasted this long. Perhaps I'll have it for my next birthday.....you never know!

Anyway, back to Todd.....I think he had a good birthday, although he had like 6 hours worth of meetings at work.....ugh! Last night we just relaxed as a family and watched Kung Fu Panda. Todd isn't home much, so a night together sounded just right! (And I'm always up for a lazy night at home....)

We love you honey! You're the best! 40 is looking pretty good on you! Here's to the next 40.....
