Today is one of those days. Why? Because she let the Pop Fairy in house yesterday. The Pop Fairy is a magical creature who unselfishishly fills the garage refrigerator with pop that only I drink.

Thanks sweetie. I love you.

The boys let Holly and I sleep past 8am. Oh what a glorious feeling to roll over on a Saturday and realized you weren’t pounced or prodded at the crack of dawn. Of course as I write this, Holly is making lunch and the boys are still in their PJ’s.

Guess no one wanted to run errands with me and have lunch at McDonald’s. Oh well.

Holly pulled the best trick on all of us for my birthday. Last night she acted like she was so excited to tell the boys what they got me for my birthday that she said she’s tell them, but only if they could keep a secret. The secret lasted about 3 min and was revealed to be the Lego Death Star set. I was kind of impressed and confused at the same time. Impressed that she had the guts to give me the Lego set the boys have drooled over for the last year. Confused for basically the same reason.

Holly went so far as too ask me about again later that to make sure I really wanted it. She even acted it up about how hard I am to buy for. Well played sweetie. She had ALL of going on this one.

I changed the oil, got fresh gas, and of course I sharpened the blade. While sharpening the lawn mower blade with the bench grinder, both of the boys were dazzled by the sparks it generated. Sam wanted to touch the sparks and I warned him that would be dangerous. I then went on to explain the dangers of power tools and how they can hurt someone. And just at that moment I accidentally ground the skin off my knuckle.

Yes… I injured myself with a power tool as I was explaining to the boys the dangers of power tools. I think the fact that Holly said she wasn’t surprised I injured myself hurt just a little more than my knuckle did.

Hope you enjoy your day and the weather cooperates for you.

Evan doing his best to show me he can act just as goofy as Sam and his friends.

This is posted mostly for posterity for Sam to remember how wonderful the weather was for his 7th birthday.

Happy Birthday Sam!

This is one way to entertain a dozen 7y old boys for the afternoon. Having 70°F weather in mid-March doesn’t hurt either.

Sam’s changed his mind on what he wants for his birthday.

I can’t see. I can’t get my shirt on. (bumps in to wall)

Me: (giggling) Those are your pants on your head.

The terror and then look of humiliation, in a span of 3 seconds, is what made this absolutely hilarious.
