Sam's Birthday - Part 3

Somehow this child's birthday has been strung out for a week, which is just fine with him. Today the kids had the day off of school for Veterans Day, so we went to see "Madagascar 2" with some friends. It was quite funny, and highly recommended by the kids. After the movies we went back to Darnell, Lauren, and Alex's house for some cookie cake and ice cream. Then the kids played a game of football in the backyard. They had a great time - thanks guys!!!


Here are the boys at Crazy Flag Guy's house saluting all of our past and present men and women in uniform.

So, today is our 13th anniversary, and I had intended for the last part of this post to be a glowing testament to my love for my soulmate, best friend, dear husband, blah, blah, blah. That is not to be, as it is now evening and it appears that he is not aware that it is our anniversary. Now I have come to accept that we are not a sappy, gushy, gift giving kind of couple, and I'm cool with that. But damn, a little acknowledgement of the day would be nice. In his defense, he did buy me a new ipod last week for no reason, and that was very sweet, but still. And I don't want to hear anything about Key West. That was my trip that I planned and did all of the work for, he just had to show up. So if you should happen to see Scott over the next few days, please feel free to publicly berate him.
