Oh no the Big 40!

This years Jim's big birthday, so I wanted to do something really special. I made reservations for a very adult dinner at SPQR on Fillmore in San Francisco. We were so out of practice we had to ask the waitress for help. We decided anything that wasn't macaroni & cheese would taste good, so we tried a little bit of everything. After a delicious dinner and an even better dessert we headed to The Fillmore to see "The Airborne Toxic Event". Sounds scary, but really just a fun band that we've downloaded and enjoy listening to. The Fillmore is a great venue that has seen the likes of Janis Joplin and the The Grateful Dead. Before the show we enjoyed walking around and looking at all the different posters from past performances. Once the show started we were happy to see we weren't the oldest in the crowd. There were definitely a few parents out for the night. It was a much needed us night, and so much fun...but we paid for it the next morning. I wish you could explain to kids that we sleep in on Saturdays!

Well Monday was Jim's actual birthday, so I had to have a little fun with it. I employed Dawn to be my partner in crime and help me gain access to Jim's office. After making up some excuses about needing to do some shopping I snuck out Sunday evening to decorate Jim's office. I covered the room in confetti, balloons and left him a full sheet cake. Dawn got him a giant poster of Justin Bieber for his office door. (Everyone loved that!) Monday morning the first phone call of the day was "You sneaky, sneaky woman!" Well it defiantly made it an entertaining birthday.  Jim will be cleaning confetti out of his office for a while! The kids and I sang to him after dinner with a little carrot cake ( his fav). Followed by a few fun presents, new tee shirts and everyone's favorite new underwear:)

some pics from Dawn's phone, I couldn't figure out how to sneak the camera out
