Andrew's Birthday!

Andrew's birthday was on a Monday this year, so he got to spend the day studying in his office at school - lucky guy!

We surprised him with a quick visit :)

And he came home to lots and lots and lots of candy that evening.  

Something for him to munch on while the girls and I are gone for 2 1/2 weeks in July to Colorado and Utah?  

For dinner, Andrew thought it'd be fun for us all to go out to dinner.  The girls still had free kid's meal coupons to a local Mexican place from last summer's library reading program, so that's what he chose.  The food was good but the experience was....not.  At least not for some of us (me).  

Shortly after our food arrived, Halle said she had to go to the bathroom.  I took her and it was more than just a quick trip, if you know what I mean.  By the time we got back, Abigail had told Andrew, "I have hard poops coming!" so I turned right around and took her.  She took her sweet time (like 10 minutes!) because she kept getting distracted by a fly in the stall, and when we finally got back to our seats, I told Andrew (somewhat kidding), "I'm going to kill you."  To which he sheepishly replied that Eve had now decided that she also had poops coming and needed to go to the bathroom.  I literally spent 25 minutes in the bathroom with the three girls, one after another, and by the time we finally finished, Andrew had already paid the check and was loading the to-go boxes.  Never again.  

At least we had yummy pie to look forward to for dessert!  

Happy birthday, Andrew!  36 never looked so good!
