Birthdays. When you're a mom of littles it's really just another day isn't it? I've learned not to have too high of expectations when youngun's are involved. Simple and low key is the way to go. I mean it may be my birthday and all but the world doesn't suddenly start revolving around Tara. I still have diapers to change, lunches to make, and dishes to clean.
I decided to take the kids out for breakfast at Starbucks (Cory still being in SC). It was nice actually. We sat outside and the weather was beautiful.
Emma chose a butter croissant.
Both of the boys had little chocolate donuts.
Then we went to the park and "treasure hunting" at Goodwill. Who goes to the Goodwill on their birthday?!
Apparently I do.
But it was fun and simple and the rest of the day we hung out at home and rested a bit and waited for Cory to get home from work.
That's it. Oh, and I made strawberry shortcake. Yes, I made my very own birthday shortcakes. They were yum though. Cory had two heaping, and I do mean HEAPING, plate fulls of it.
Emma gave me a necklace that she made herself last night at the gym. I wore it ALL day.
I'm thankful for the cards, gifts, phone calls, texts, facebook posts, and messages I received today!
“It is the month of June, The month of leaves and roses, When pleasant sights salute the eyes And pleasant scents the noses.”

You made me smile, dear friend! Love the quotes, the pictures, and most definitely the necklace. Tell Emma, "Good job!"
