A Shared Day

Yesterday Eric and I had to share the day.  It was his Birthday AND it was Mother's Day.  Before we went to church we both opened our presents and read our cards.  Phoebe helped open all the presents.  Sarah was so excited to give Daddy and Mommy a present from her.

I helped Sarah make Eric a card.  She colored the outside, and had me write on the inside, "Happy Birthday Daddy! Sarah loves you today and Phoebe loves Daddy - because today's your birthday."   Eric helped Sarah make me a card also... On the inside he wrote for her, "Sarah loves Mommy for Mother's Day."  She also drew a picture on the inside of my card of our family.

After church Eric had to go to work for the afternoon and part of the evening.  When he got home, we went out to eat at a Chinese restaurant.  At the restaurant Sarah told me that "maybe we could talk like these cantease people, like the people at this restaurant."  On the drive home from the restaurant Eric told me that we would only have to share the day every seven years.  But, that's okay with me, I like to share.

And, what birthday would be complete without a cake?  So, before we headed to bed we sang "Happy Birthday" and ate cake... a yummy, chocolate, caramel, whipped topping, "better than sex" cake... although the cake is good I do not think it is THAT good.
