Remember how we got Daniel his new easy chair? Well, it was his birthday present also! (When you spend that much on one piece of furniture, you're allowed to use it for 3 presents!) He's also going to the Charm City Music Festival with our friend, Scott, and neighbor (and friend!), Mr. Jacob, this Saturday! I guess the real present is another day away from us...without anyone bugging him for anything!
The boys each painted him a picture on a canvas for him to hang up in his office at work...
They did such a nice job on their pictures...they gave them to Daniel this morning and he suggested they sign their names on them. Being the controlling person that I am and wanting the pictures to look nice still, I suggested they write their names in specific places on the pictures. Pretty sure I was talking to myself though!
Zach wrote his name then wrote dad also.
Jacob wrote his name at the top! Then he wrote "my picture for dad dad"..across the top! I strongly suggested he just have his name on it because I'm weird like that but he thought he needed to write a sentence. I reminded myself that it was his picture for his daddy and I needed to just breathe!
Zach had food in his mouth at this point so I saved everyone from being grossed out by not asking him to smile big.
Then Daniel had to leave for work! Boys had school and Emily and I had some cleaning to do! I was busy texting a few people too who had little ones going to Preschool today! (Yay for Madi, Hayden, and Evan!)
Daniel got home from work and we had some fun outside before I ran in the house to cook dinner (his request: bbq chicken, mashed potatoes, and roasted brocolli. YUM!)
Yes, it's Daniel's birthday but the opportunity arose to have my picture taken with Emily. I'm trying to get better about making sure I'm in a few pictures here and there! Our kids are gonna grow up thinking I wasn't around because even though there are thousands of pictures, I'm not in many since I'm always behind the camera!
This one shows my new haircut off! It's fantastic!!! I thought I'd miss the approximately 10" of hair she cut off but I LOVE it!
Jake snuck in!
It's a goofy picture but I still like it!
spinning on his swing..
he said his feet were chasing each other as he spun around!
Jake was just being goofy!
Daniel with his little lady.
I just love this picture!
She was much happier doing this 3 minutes prior to the pictures.
Really, mom? I'm done!
Phew!
Birthday cake time! I positioned the candles in a 3 and a 1 but you can't tell!
Daniel had been being silly with the boys and pretending to blow the candles out and then not...when he actually blew them out Emily screamed!
and she must've wanted some cake! not yet, sweet girl!
It was at this point that Daniel said "enough pictures!"
I figured since it was his birthday I'd honor his request and put the camera down....until tomorrow!
