Birthdays

Alice's birthday was today and we had a cake decorating birthday party for her and some of her friends.  It reminded me that we've had other birthday celebrations that I haven't posted about. 



Samantha had her birthday in May--the girls found this amazing candle headband to wear.  We've really loved having John and Samantha close by--it's so nice to have family to hang out with!  They've been so helpful with the kids too, like spending their whole day helping out with Alice's party and they also babysat for us last weekend so Bruce and I could have a night to ourselves for our anniversary.  I told them we will owe them big when they have kids!  
  

And Bruce turned 40 June.  His plane was delayed so he actually got into Florida on his birthday (around 2am) in pouring down rain, but he survived.  We spent the day at the beach and then later in the week got a day to ourselves while Memaw watched the kids. 

Thanks to all of you who sent photo messages in.  I think I was the only one with a doom and gloom theme--everyone else was pretty upbeat:)  Party poopers!

Really?

I was warming up some leftovers (Moroccan Chickpea Stew) for lunch today and here's the conversation I had with Alice.

Alice:  Why is it called Rockin' Chickpea Stew?
Me:  No, Moroccan, not Rockin'.  Morocco is a country.
Alice:  Oh, so like Morocco Bama?
