34 no more!

(Finally!  I have been waiting over a year to use this blog post title.)

Happy 35th birthday to my love...

Phillip's company volunteered at the Martha O'Bryan Center yesterday.  He was on yard work duty.

Lessons learned today:

1.  The 35 year old body just doesn't recover as quickly as the 25 year old body... or the 30 year old body, for that matter :)  Phillip is very sore from working outside all day yesterday.  Oh my aching back!  He's feeling the burn.

2.  You can't give Ellen a Krispy Kreme doughnut and tell her only to eat half, saving the rest for her sister.  She can't handle it.

3.  Remove all clothes from the premises you do not want your child to wear as they will continue to find the black shorts that are too short and not understand, even after multiple explanations, why they cannot be worn in public.

4.  Don't drive over the yellow line even if you are just trying to bypass people in a turn lane to get into the straight lane (he got pulled over-along with many others-but did not get a ticket).  School traffic is no joke.

5.  Birthday Ramen tastes surprisingly similar to non-birthday Ramen.

Side note:  If anyone would like to volunteer to be on the receiving end of Phillip's daily Fitbit stats/updates (he won it at work and started a trend) please let me know.  That is something I can't handle :)

Ellen:  Daddy, that bracelet doesn't look good with your outfit.

*Full disclosure: I couldn't be trusted to eat only half a doughnut either, even if the other half was for my sister.  Sorry, Andrea.
