today is my "fat boy's" birthday. now before anyone thinks that i'm calling my husband fat, it was a joke in college because we really enjoyed eating the "fat boy" ice cream sandwiches. now years later those ice cream sandwiches may be sticking to us a little more than they used to, but i am not calling him fat!
anyhooo, today is his birthday and we celebrated lazy style. sleeping in, big breakfast at his parent's house (which really turned into big breakfast for lunch), a wii bowling tournament, naps at home, ordered some take-out food, opened presents and ate cake.
x was so wanting to do a surprise for him. but he didn't pose the idea until yesterday afternoon after church. not enough time to get people to come over, especially on a holiday (mlk day) when everyone is out of school and being lazy themselves (or maybe that was my cop out...) but when todd went out to pick up the "to go" food we scattered balloons around the living room and put his wrapped gifts in the middle. we waited for him to pull into the driveway, quickly turned off all the lights downstairs, and waited behind the couch to jump out and yell "SURPRISE". x seemed pleased. c was freaked that we turned out all the lights, and i was wishing i had done more.
i'll get him good for his 40th. plan something really big. so put it on your calendars. cause in a couple of years it's gonna be a big one...maybe a trip, a cruise, or perhaps another lazy day spent with family - cause i know he really enjoys the simple pleasure of having "his only friends" around (x's words when i didn't invite anyone over for a party.)

At least "daddy's only friends" are great ones. That's cute that x said that. He's such a great kid.
Love the "fat boy" joke. I can just picture your kids calling their dad "fat boy". That's classic!
