Dave's Birthday

Dave turned 28 on February 28th this year. I guess that's referred to a "Golden Birthday". I asked Dave what he wanted for his birthday and he said he wanted a spa night. Which means a home spa night. We decided to have that the Saturday after his birthday when he didn't have to input leads in the evening.

So on his birthday, Thursday, the boys and I went to the store and bought a frozen pumpkin pie (Dave's favorite) and went home and cooked it. By the time Dave got home in the evening, it was out of the oven and cooling. He suggested we stick it in the fridge to speed up the cooling process so we could eat it sooner. Unfortunately as he opened the fridge door, it knocked the entire pie all over the floor! Yummy. So I said, "Ok, everyone get your coats! We're going to Village Inn!" Cruise got pumpkin (because he was determined to eat pumpkin pie), Dave got banana cream, I got hot apple pie, and Jett got a Reese's peanut butter pie. I was just glad I hadn't made the pumpkin pie from scratch, otherwise I probably would've been little upset.

The boys also had picked out some presents from Target just for Dave. They said he wanted movies, so I let them choose from the $5-$8 section and they surprisingly picked pretty well. Cruise picked out "Contagion" and Jett picked out "Life As We Know It". Then they each drew pictures (Cruise made a book) and to finish, they had to get Daddy a bag of mini donuts, which were quickly consumed by the little boys upon opening.

"Can I have some?"

Friday, Dave and I went to lunch at Pier 49 Pizza, which is Dave's favorite pizza place. We got their all you can eat lunch special and enjoyed being without the kids.

Saturday evening, Dave took the boys out to see Wreck It Ralph (again) at the dollar theater, and I stayed home and cleaned and got the room ready for Dave's spa night. This includes a foot soak, hour long massage, and a hot, relaxing bath to finish. It was nice to do that for him and let him have an evening of relaxation, especially after how hard he works all the time.
