It Ain't Over Yet....

My mom.  God love her.  In case you missed it, her birthday was on Friday.  Dad and I did not miss it.  We were not given a chance to miss it.  She has been reminding us for over a month now that her birthday was on Friday.  So.  We made an appropriately big deal out of it and I think she was pleased.  Whew!

She started her birthday weekend by going to her first "pop up" dinner with her friend Christina.  A pop up works by the diners paying and reserving about a month in advance and then 24 hours before the actual dinner, you get an email with the location and the menu.  The dinner was on a roof top of a really cool bar in down town Tucson with great views.  It ended up being a really fun night with good food and  a super fun atmosphere.  Mom almost felt a teensy bit cool too.

Friday was her actual birthday and originally, dad was going to take me to school and mom was going to head to a doctor's appointment.  However, I really wanted to buy mom a doughnut from the bake sale at school so I insisted she drive me and I then bought her a doughnut.  It was super good and mom enjoyed being treated.
She didn't actually see me the rest of the day because I got a last minute invite to spend the night at my friend Ella's house (which is always super fun for me).  Mom and dad took advantage and went out for a nice dinner.

On Saturday, I didn't get home until almost 3 because I went with the Healy's to Sabino Canyon to go swimming in the creek.  It was amazingly fun and I was amazingly by the time I got home.  There is no rest for the weary though because we were hosting a party so I had to put my party face on and go for it.  Mom made a couple of pies that turned out pretty dang good but no one ate them because.....

Dad and I surprised her with cupcakes from Cold Stone.  These were a huge hit and it made mom quite happy to keep extending her birthday.  And extending.  And extending.

We laid pretty low on Sunday.  Dad went golfing, mom and I hit the farmer's market and then we just vegged on the couch all day.

On Monday, we spent the morning cleaning up the yard and then went to see a movie in the afternoon.  We are sad to see our long weekend come to end but mom still has one more day off.  Remember what I said about extending and extending?  This is the birthday that will never end!
Hope you all have a fabulous week- we will updated you on mom's never-ending celebration next week!
