My Birthday Week!

I just love my birthday week.  I try to do something special every day!

First, we went night skiing on Tuesday night.  I think we brought sandwiches to eat on the way and we got to see a bit of the sunset. 

On Wednesday, I had an errand to run after school (my long day of teaching), plus it was wet and snowy, so we stopped and got a special coffee and treats at a gas station.

That night over dinner I told the kids that we were going to have a "catch-up on the house night" and Ethan then asked if he could put tortillas on the walls:

On my actual birthday, we invited some friends over for dinner and Tim surprised me with flowers:

And OH. . . the next day Tim took the kids for an overnight yurt excursion and I had the house to myself.  First I cleaned everything up.  Then I think I read or worked on my blog (all the updates from November, December, and January), ran some errands (looked at a used furniture store), and went out with my friends (followed by games at my house).

After my friends left, I stayed up until 3 a.m. working on my blog, then went to church in the morning all by myself, then greeted the kids and Tim and heard all their stories of their yurt adventure.
