It is May which means one big thing for our family, every boy in the family gets 1 year older. First is Brad's. Since I am still working in Twin all weekdays, I would have missed Brad's birthday. I really didn't want this year to be the first time in 15 years I missed it, so I took the week off. I didn't tell anyone in Boise I had done that. I tried to tell Brad I had a meeting and left Tuesday around lunch. About 1:30 Brad realized that I never have meeting this long, and my Skype says I'm gone. He figured I was coming, but also was worried I really was in a meeting and would Skype him back any time, then he'd really be disappointed. Before I left however, Emery made him lunch. She brought it to him at 'work'. She is so sweet and always wants to do things for others.
I showed up to the house just before 3 and rand to door bell. The kids were confused at first and then excited when they realized I was home for a week. Brad was very happy with this part of his present. I think he was just as sad for the possibility for our first birthday apart.
Emery also made cupcakes for Brad's birthday. I was nice to be there for dinner and cupcakes.
Emery wanted her hair lighter, so this week we colored it. We had to use a box, since most other places are closed. It didn't start too dark, she just liked being blond a little more.
I was worried it was going to be dark when it looked like this.
But it lightened up pretty well.
One day we went to Uncle Chuck's house for roasting hot dogs and played some corn-hole. It was a lot of fun and good to get out. Jackson was not a fan of the smoke though.
It was the hardest this week to leave. It was fun having an almost 'normal' life for a week.
