David's Day!

Hi!

This blog is to take a restful moment from the dreaded
TIRED are WE of living in chaos, boxes, wood and nails, setting up cots in the back of Home Depot because we just have "5 more things" to decide on and buy. Enough already.

David turned 13 yesterday! Happy Birthday, David! Frank found our "Happy Birthday" banner and some balloons, and they bought some for breakfast.

Here's the banner, and yes those are the new cabinets in the background.






Then here is David, after lighting candles on his very own donut! (OK--he ALSO got a cake and opened presents later in the day--not TOTALLY neglected, after all...)

I can't say the rest of the day was spectacular--we unpacked boxes, raked leaves and ran errands...we promised both David & Teresa a couple of fun family activities later in the month, to make up for not really doing "birthday activities" at this crazy time where normalcy has gone out the window.

Here is a "Tribute to David" that I made a few months back, in another lifetime when I used to scrapbook and do other things besides

The fact is, David is a pretty neat part of our family. We think he's awesome. You can click on this to enlarge.



Happy Birthday, David!

Sometimes the fun things have to wait....the cabinets look nice! I do wish you luck on the rest of it - hang in there! My husband finished 3 basements back when we were young and energetic...I understand?

Happy Birthday David! Just for you, I cleaned out my van this afternoon. I wish you could see it because you would be the only one who would notice. You are so fun!

Happy belated Birthday, David!
I LOVE the tribute scrapbook page you made for him. Priceless. I think I need to Scraplift that idea. ;)
