Happy Birthday To Me

It's my birthday and I'm back! It's been a nice week having a break from the Internet. I'll update about that later.

Today the kids are out of school because of Martin Luther King Day but Walt is working so we mostly celebrated my birthday yesterday.

Carley and I made red velvet cupcakes.

We went to McKinnley park in Sacramento. It's a nice treat for the kids because it's an old wooden playground.

It was such a nice day. Walt and I just lounged on a blanket while the kids played... or came over to lounge with us.

For dinner Walt and I had take-out sushi.

Mmmm. My favorite.

Of course for the silly picture the focus fell on the phone. D'oh.

And these are my birthday toes. I got a pedicure with my friend, Molly, who moved a couple hours away from me this summer. Girls feel pretty with pretty toes.

Today the kids and I are going to have lunch with my friend, Wendy. Carley keeps wishing me "happy birthday". After a big birthday hug she stepped back, looked me up and down and said "you even look bigger." Thanks kid.

Initially I had a little panic about being 35 but I think I'm past it. Wow. 35!? I think it's going to be a good year though. Ready or not, I'm 35.

Happy Birthday! Your toes look fabulous and I'm so glad you're back to the world of the Internet. I missed you while you were gone. Can't wait for lunch. And margaritas!

Sounds like you had a wonderful birthday couple of days. Sounds perfectly relaxing! And no, 35 isn't old.
