Stuart had asked Logan before today what they should get me for my birthday; Logan thought about it and answered “Pizza…tank…hat”.  A couple of nights ago during bath, Logan suggested that we go to Chuck E Cheese for my birthday dinner.  I responded that the place is for kids birthdays but not for adults, then Logan said “Why not? It is fun there!”.

   This morning when Logan woke up and came out of this room, he immediately gave me a birthday card.  Apparently Stuart helped him writing the card for me last night and he actually remembered on his own to bring it to me.  It was a Star Wars birthday card that he picked and inside it said “Happy Birthday!  I love you very much because you have a birthday!”  This was written by Stuart as dictated by Logan.  Connor later also handed me a card (an Elmo one) and he was very good in saying “Happy Birthday Mommy!” to me too.

    Stuart and I took a day off together to celebrate.  After dropping off the kids to schools, we went out for breakfast then to Gilroy outlets for some shopping.  We shopped for a long time, and we got goodies for us and the boys.  As we were full from breakfast, we did not stop for lunch until 2pm.  We did some grocery shopping before going home.  By then, 4pm, we both were exhausted; we ended up taking a TV break and a short nap before picking up the kids.  We went out to eat once again for dinner, and became stuffed all over again.

   The kids were very excited to go home for a special treat, ice cream cake (our favorite).  The boys sang me the birthday song and we all enjoyed a small piece of cake.  The boys and I had to do some dancing afterward to burn off the calories and sugar high.  Now I am relaxing and remembering the fun full day that we had!
