Sarah's Birthday (aka Reed's post Birthday or Kieran's pre Birthday)

I love celebrating Birthdays - decorations, surprises, presents, special desserts, the list really does go on and on, but when it comes to my Birthday less really is more. This year I was once again spoiled with some very generous gifts but also was doted on by my handsome boys. On Friday Jon got home a little early from work to watch the boys so I could have some alone time and get my first pedicure in a year. It was awesome!!! When I came home Reed did tell me he didn't like my bright orange toes and that he wanted them to be brown again like his. Kieran on the other hand thought they were a new toy and therefore terrific!!! After the boys went to bed Jon surprised me with ice cream and I ate entirely way too much, but it was delicious.

Saturday was my actual Birthday. I went for a solo run in the morning, came home to a Birthday sign Jon and Reed had made, and got to open some fun presents. We hung around the house for most of the day just playing with the boys and then went to the pumpkin patch after they woke up from their naps. Once we got home Jon made an excellent dinner and I opened one of my favorite bottles of wine. Kieran was especially clingy and I ended up putting him in the carrier and he was completely content with his head tilted back staring at me for like 45 minutes. My back kind of hated it, but I love that sometimes all he needs is Mom to make everything okay.

As if I hadn't already been spoiled enough, on Sunday we went out to dinner with Grandma, Grandpa, Nonna, Pepe, C, Tio, and Lyla. Eureka Burger did not disappoint and all three kids were really well behaved for the almost two hours we were there. Happy Birthday to me!!!
