It's my birthday.....
and I'll clean if I want to!!!!
Friday was my birthday...a big 33...and I spent most of the day cleaning. After I took the kids to school and got Braden and Keegan settled, I started cleaning and doing laundry. See, my seester and her girls were coming to visit so I wanted to have as much done before the weekend as I could.
Madison was the very first to wish me a happy birthday by simply saying, Mom, it's your birthday!" I'll take that. I also got an ecard from Carolyn, greetings online from Nej, Shawna, Teresa, Staci, Nancy, Maraline and all the girls on Scrapbook Lane, from Melissa Hinds Vandale, Angela Jaskulka, Marrisa, Sandie, and of course Mom and Dad, Eric and his family, Keith and his family, and Carolyn and the girls.
I got my first present around 4pm. Trav lined up the kids. Braden handed me a birthday card from them. Then, Trav said here is your birthday present. The kids said the following when Trav touched them. Madison said, "Kilpatricks", Braden said, "dot", and Ashton said, "info". So, I went to check out this "Kilpatricks.info" and low and behold, Trav started a website for us with a scrapbook gallery, a photo gallery and a blog area. I am so excited!!!! I have wanted a website forever...especially with us living so far from family and friends now. I can't wait until I can put some things up on it. Probably after Carolyn and the girls leave.
Speaking of, they got here around 4:45pm on Friday. When they got here, Madison and Ashton were playing the new Guitar Hero (World Tour) that Trav had bought yesterday. So, I grabbed my camera and ran outside and grabbed this photo.
Then, they came in...I went to the living room to take a pic of the kids playing so they wouldn't know what was going on and Carolyn, Tori and Amber walked in. So, I snapped this pic of the kids' reaction.
Loved Madison's face! We just hung out for a while talking and having the kids show the girls around the house. Then, we went to dinner at Olive Garden (Yummy!!!). It was fun! I had the most yummy Seafood Portofino and everyone else seemed to enjoy their dinners. We came home, but were too stuffed to eat cake and ice cream so decided to hold off on all the other birthday festivities until tomorrow. We crashed around 11pm.
It was my best birthday in a LONG time! Having my sister and nieces here to celebrate with me was the best present. I am so thankful that they were able to come visit during spring break. A great way to start out my 34th year.
