Last week was busy what with all the soccer, the FOTC concert, and the track meet. In addition, it had more than it’s fair share of celebrations. As my mother noted, Monday was my 36th birthday, which definitely means I’m on the downhill slope. We cheated a bit and had dinner and opened presents on Sunday night. Dinner was cajun food at Dodie’s, followed by homemade Key Lime Pie. The kids–minus Speed–put plenty of effort into decorating the wrapping paper for my presents.

Then Saturday was Holly’s 36th. For dinner, Speed grilled–he loves fire a little too much. And we had a special dessert made by the girls.

You can't tell from this side, but it's a cake that looks like a cooke with ice cream filling
The next day, Sunday, was Mother’s Day–will the celebration of Holly ever end. She celebrated by sleeping in late, running errands, and eating leftovers. Yes, two of those things don’t make any sense. Additionally, she wanted everyone to see Earth. Expertly and coolly narrated by James Earl Jones, it beautifully documents a year in the life of a polar bear family, an elephant pack, and humpback whale family, along with short looks at other animal life. The kids really enjoyed it, though Speed would probably deny it.
Glad that week is behind us.
