Happy Birthday, DD!

Today is my David's birthday. He is 32! He says he doesn't feel old yet since his wife is still in her 20s. (For three more months.)
We had a birthday get-together at my Mom's for him. She made dinner and a chocolate sheet cake. I don't trust myself alone with her chocolate sheet cake. I think I could just eat the whole thing. It is more sweet than chocolate and I swear I think it gives me some sort of high. Anyways, off topic!
Anna and Jonathan helped me go shopping for him, and they kept his present a secret (until the minute he was going to open it, and then Jonathan just had to whisper: IT'S A PHONE!). I bought him a new cell phone. He always gets the super cheap ones or just takes my hand me downs so I thought I would get him a new phone of his own. Also, it makes me feel guilty that my phone is so much nicer than his. So now we have the exact same phone! And he can text me all the time! ALL THE TIME! So it is a gift that makes me feel better about myself and is also self-serving... Gosh, I am great wife. It is a good thing I am still in my twenties, or he might not want to put up with me. ;)
Today I was driving Jonathan home from school. From the back seat, he told me: "Mama. The sign said to go 35. So why are you going 40?" Just like his Daddy. Into following rules.
Yesterday when we were at Target getting stuff for Dave's birthday, Anna was helping me unload the cart at checkout. She stuck his two cards (she picked one out that had a very flamboyantly dressed cat; Jonathan selected one from The Onion with a mock headline about alligators being dangerous no matter how drunk you are) up on the belt, and I said, "Anna, what about the envelopes?"
She said, "The envelopes don't have any barcodes on them, Mama. We don't NEED to put them up there, just the cards."
Oh, well EXCUSE ME!
She also wrapped her Daddy's gift quite well, using an excessive amount of tape. Our children both adore wasting tape.
