Socks in Switzerland

My Swiss friend has a birthday today!  I sent her this pair of crazy socks and she took a picture so I could see her wearing them.  Aren't they cute?

Happy Birthday to Me!

My birthday cake I bought for work!

 Asta, the principal, and me!

 My cake at home.  Joel made and decorated it.  Whew!  Look at the light coming off of that cake!

 #3 and me!

Joel and me with Mr. Wool on my shoulder thanks to #3.

 Whew!  Thank goodness I have some very strong lungs!

 Part of my gift from my SIL, Pam!

 #2 made me the ceramic bowl that I am holding.  Mr. Wool is still on my shoulder.

The scarf kit that Joel gave me.  Of course, I picked it out and told him what to order!

Sorry, we didn't get pictures of all of the gifts I received from family and friends.  Thank you notes will be coming soon!

Pre-Birthday Fun!

 We were supposed to celebrate my birthday today (birthday will be Tuesday), but everyone was sick except #3 and myself.  #3 was sick Thursday and Friday and he was feeling pretty good today.  Here we are goofing off in front of our picture tree.

 Here I am trying to hoist him higher so my hands can be under his armpits and I can hold him higher.  He's gotten a bit bigger and I couldn't get him up!  He weighs too much!

 Aw, we gave up and just took normal pictures!

 and then we started goofing off again!

 The neighbors were having a birthday party for their son's 4th birthday.  The neighbors went around the neighborhood inviting the neighborhood children to use the bouncy house while the birthday boy was napping.  I think we were the only ones who took advantage of their offer.

 #3 doing a forward roll.

 I of course, can't pass up an opportunity to use a bouncy house!!

 Oops!  #3 and I goofing off again with a camera!
