So, I threw a surprise 30th birthday party for Nate this year! It was super stressful because of bad planning on my part, I planned for his party to be on a Saturday on a week that Nate took off of work! It was so hard to be sneaking around getting stuff ready for the party when he was home all week. With the help of others, I got it done and he was completely surprised. I'm not sure I'll be throwing a surprise party again for a while though. He went golfing on the day of the party, and then we had to stall them when they were done (it's a long story). So then I had to call him and tell him a LIE (I am really bad at lying, especially to someone who knows me best) I told him that the van wouldn't start. He started asking me questions about the van, like "do the lights turn on when you try to start it?" "does it make any noise?" etc. and I made stuff up that didn't make any sense but I tried to sound stressed so he would come home. I guess it worked!
I am so mad at myself for not getting pictures. I need to designate someone to be the photographer because I always forget! At least this time I got some beforehand (But none of Nate!). We did a trivia from the year he was born, and we had questions up around the house asking funny things about him - the prizes were Nate's drink of choice - IBC Cream Soda :) We had a slideshow of some old pictures and we sang him happy birthday. And I surprised him with the golf clubs that he really wanted, too. You only turn 30 once right?
My friend Megan over at snaphappymom.com told me about the Knoala app for iPhones. I really like it because you plug your kids ages into the app and it has tons of age appropriate ideas for crafts, activities, games, etc. But the best part about it is that usually the activity takes 2 minutes to set up, using stuff that you probably already have at your house, and my kids play for a while. It makes me feel like a good mom, and I have less mom guilt about not spending enough time with each of my kids :) Oh, and the app is free! So we have been getting a little more crafty as of late.
This guy usually doesn't nap anymore, but sometimes, if I make him a fox hole, he does :)
