My birthday on Friday was the usual crappy day as always. I don’t know why, but I have learned that my birthday itself will always suck. It’s okay though, Emily made it up to me on Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday we went to Marion/Carbondale and got her some shorts and a few other items at Target. My Lord the woman loves her Target. Saturday night the kids stayed with Aunt Jennifer at a hotel so that they could swim and have a fun excursion. Em and I went to eat at Lone Star (my choice) and then went to play mini-golf. Despite her whining about going, she remarked “This is fun.” at one point. The local min-golf joint isn’t impressive, but I wanted to go. Then we went up to the Jaycees and relaxed with the guys for a bit.

Sunday we got wild and I took her to Bob Evans for breakfast. After going to uncle Bob’s, we hit up Lowe’s and got some supplies to paint the kitchen cabinets. Em picked out a maroon-brick red. I don’t get it, but whatever makes her happy. Then craziness ensued as we purchased groceries at Kroger. We’re some wild ones.

Then we picked up the kids and came home. Sounds pretty lame looking back at it typed out, but I swear we had fun.
