i hate it when...

...my age (32) is higher than my birthday date (30). I have decided today I am pretty much almost 40.... today I turned 32. 32 is almost 35. 35 is "mid thirties" and mid thirties is just a blink away from the big 4-0. So today, I am pretty much 40....(maybe I am getting more dramatic with age...)

My husband has informed me that he is still pretty much 25 since he is still 31 until September... He says 31 is almost 3o. 30 is still so close to 20s that he is still "young" and "spritely" and pretty much still 25. Nice. Well Mr. 25, I think that makes you married to a "Cougar"! hahah!

I joke, I joke. I feel so blessed to have lived such an amazing 32 years. I truly think I have the best husband, kids, family and friends (but I am only probably slightly biased). Today was so relaxing and wonderful and I will even probably be in bed by 10pm. My how birthdays have changed.

happy birthday mom-mom

Happy Birthday Mom- Mom! We hope you have a happy day!

how fast they grow

Each year I write my kids a letter for their birthday-- included in it is all their important stats for that year, who their friends were, what their favorite toy/book/food/show/etc blah blah blah. I am hoping that this tradition will be one that they look forward to on their birthday. I am sure one day they will think these are SO lame... and if i am persistent and continue to make them read them each year (ha!), I hope one day they will again love them as much as I do writing them. In preparation for writing Thomas' I went back through Jack's letters... And while I loved reminiscing through the content they didn't look super cute stranded in my Word Doc files.

I can't decide... have you see this cute site How Fast They Grow. I like crafts but scrap booking ain't my thing. HFTG is a digi scrapbook (another million dollar idea I didn't think of, bummer). Basically you just upload your pics, pick from one of their 500 templates (boatman gellar has even created some super cute templates for them), create your content and Click! Poof! Scrapbook! I think it might be a cute way to do the letters for the boys... maybe include a couple pics... We'll see...
