Birthday grinch

Birthday saga part 1;I almost always have the hardest time coming up with something for Kevin's birthday. I might add that if you know Kevin he absolutely loathes birthday parties for himself, especially surprise ones. Every year he plays detective and tries to ruin his birthday presents. This year I got him good. I planned for us to stay at a water park hotel out in Idaho. I had to come up with some excuse to drive there though. I tried asking him if we could meet some friends for dinner, but he said no deal. As a last ditch effort before busting out the blind fold, I called the girls at his work and had them make up a phony excuse to come out to the office in Idaho. Kevin automatically got suspicious.  He called me, furious and told me I better come clean, that the office called and he knew I was throwing a surprise party ( which made him soooo angry, because I know he hates birthday parties). I have never seen Kevin so angry and so worked up before. I laughed so hard, but never said anything. If he had jump to a wrong conclusion and gotten so worked up, thats his own fault.  Half  way there, I asked him if he would like to know the surprise. He rolled his eyes and said , "Fine".  When I finally broke the news he was so relieved and happy. We had an awesome time with the kids at the water park. Some of our friends got the room next to us and we were even able to play some games that night.

Birthday saga part 2; We got home from the water park hotel today. We all took naps and picked up around the house. We open presents, and would you believe  I forgot to take pictures with my camera for the last 2 days. Bummer. Then Kevin and I got a babysitter and went to dinner. After we came home and I had planned for our friends to get together at the church and play Volleyball. So we played until 10. 

It has been a crazy past few days and I think Kevin is glad that he has tomorrow off to catch up. 

I am so thankful for Kevin he is so much fun and such an amazing Dad. I hope he had the best birthday ever.
