This crazy life of ours...: a very special day today...

~~SILVER~~ BIRTHDAY. Do you know what that means? I didn't until a few years ago. It is when you turn the same age as the day you were born. Confused? Today was my (and my twin) golden birthday. We turned 31 on the 31st. Cool, right?

My mom actually spent the night just so she could baby-sit all 4 of my kids so Bonnie and I could go do something special on our golden birthday. Well...as my present from my sister's boyfriend...he watched all 4 kids so my mom could go with. AWESOME!

We went to the casino (I was only $5.50 out). And then to my favorite place to eat (you all that know me know where I am talking about). The casino was fun. What was more fun? Messing with my mom like we used to. We had to go get gas in her car. Well...what I used to do was change the radio stations, the mirrors, the blinkers, the wipers, etc. So childish. So immature. So juvenile. And yet...I couldn't help myself. And what's worse...I couldn't stop giggling about it after. My mom was extremely nervous about the possible things we did (Bonnie and I both couldn't stop giggling). All I managed to do was turn the blinker on (which I think Mom didn't even realize it was us that turned it on), the wipers, and the mirror got moved a little...so many memories. I will have to do a post on all the funny (to me) stuff I used to do my mom. I am already smiling about that post. So anyways...we went to lunch after the casino. And my favorite guy that works there actually gave me and my twin our meals free (mom-you said you were going to buy us lunch so now that means you owe us another lunch---hee hee). I gave him a big hug. What an awesome birthday. And it was only just after lunch! Next I went and got all 4 babies from my sister's boyfriend. The kids were good for him (THANK GOD!). We then headed out to my best friend's house. She had surgery last week and I wanted to give her her present. Which was cereal. Yep-I gave my best friend cereal as a get well gift. Only she would appreciate that. And she did. She is the reason I survive so much of what I survive so it's only fair that I give her cereal. I know she is reading this and smiling just like me right now. CEREAL KILLER :) Love ya Katie! After Katie's I got home and Paul brought me a bunch of BBQ sunflower seeds. I am addicted to them. We also went to dinner tonight with his family to celebrate me! There was a live musician that sang Happy Birthday to me. It was a great birthday! Here are a few little things from today...

this is the cake that Paul's family got me.
