the older then me man...

my handsome hubby turned 33 today...

i chuckle to myself cause i don't know that i will ever really feel old...
brian is so much older then me...
so i like to think i will always appear as though i am young at his side. ;)


we surprised him today at work with a monster truck cookie cake and some presents...
it was are very own, spur of the moment, surprise party with candles and everything.

alyson and i put trick candles on the cake, and levi got very frustrated when they wouldn't go out.









on a side note,
today at the mall when we were picking up the cookie cake i learned a very valuable lesson.
you see, i was about to park my van in a nice close vacant spot...
but as i approached it i realized why such a wonderful spot was left open. the truck next to it parked half in his spot half in the spot that i was wanting.
without so much as a thought i mumbled under my breath "what a dummy". here is the following conversation that took place in our car....

levi: "mommy, did i just hear you say dummy?"

mommy: (awkwardly embarrassed): "yes, levi i did."

levi: "miss donna (which is his preschool teacher) says that dummy isn't a nice word to say, maybe you should say "awe man" instead".

mommy: "you're right levi, i probably shouldn't have said that. i'm sorry.

i then drove past the spot again hoping to rectify the situation and said...

"awe man, that man parked like a dummy"....
not even thinking how i just said it again!

yikes...
maybe i am in need of a mothering 101 class,
or possibly just a little break.

thank heavens disney is in "TWO more sleepings"!
by the way, brian already feels like he is on vacation, as you can see he stopped shaving yesterday. and (secretly) there is something kinda sexy about that!
