birthday pics

 I had a great birthday yesterday.  spent the first half of the day working on bears and puttering around.  took care of some business and then picked torry up at his babysitters!  We went to get some more smaller pumpkins to put in the little wheel barrel.. (cause, you know, I really needed more pumpkins!)  torry had fun picking them out.  Then he and I went to throw rocks in the lake for awhile, cause little boys love to throw rocks!  I was a little nervous because we didnt go to the "beach" or the other place we go.  not enough time for the beach and the other place is a little too remote and I dont like to go there with out other people.  (just my own insecurities..)  the boogie man might be down there.

We had a fun afternoon though..  He is a busy little boy. but he was very good and sat still on those rocks.  its a pretty steep there and if you were to fall  you would definitely at the very least get hurt.. so I wouldnt let him move much!  

So then, we met the rest of the family at a BBQ restaurant in Batavia.  We all ate too much and had a good time.  I find that when all my grandbabies are with me I dont eat as much and I dont function on a very adult level, like, its impossible to have a conversation with anyone.  I am totally distracted by their stinking cuteness!  lol!  so I really didnt eat much of my dinner, but I'm taking most of it for lunch today !  I did manage to eat a piece of cake last night though!
 I got great gifts! My kids and kids in laws are all very generous and thoughtful!  and they know what I like! 
  and I love them all!   
  (my feet are freezing.. in case you want to know!)
 glad its friday, but Im on call this weekend til next friday.  so who knows what the weekend will bring. 
I have bears to work on and a turkey to cook tomorrow.  Im sure I'll have to do some on call stuff in between.  
 Sunday Im going to see the musical "from here to eternity".  not on stage,  but its being shown at a movie theatre, a special showing I guess.  Im looking forward to that.   hopefully on call doesnt interupt the show for me!  fingers crossed!
 anyways.. thats about it..   I have to get ready for work.  only half an hour before i have to leave and I havent done a thing yet.  
 Have a great weekend!!
heehee.. see what some of my birthday gifties were?   LOL!
Who gives their mother animal skeletons for her birthday!?  
my kids do!  thats why they're the best! 
can you hear the music from the adams family?  its playing in my head right now..   Actually,  I taught buffy to whistle that, but she hasnt done it in a while... I shall have to remind her about that!  
gotta go! 
happy day!

I'm so glad to hear you had a happy birthday! Happy that you got your skelton kitty! It's wonderful that your family knows what you like and gets it for you, no matter how weird! When I was 13 I wanted a certain dress for my birthday and my grandma hated it. She got it for me anyway and on the card it said "Here is your double ugly dress!" haha! I miss her!
