Gabe now works the early shift (6-2) so we don't car pool quite as often because I don't function that well that early. But I wanted to make him a birthday breakfast since that's been sort of a tradition for us. This meant that I was up baking around 4:30 am. I made him his favorite - pumpkin and chocolate chip muffins. The little part about me not functioning well at that early morning rang ever so true as I baked and burned the tips of my fingers and got blisters. But all was okay because he got his muffins and i went to back to bed once he left, holding a frozen bag of corn on my fingers. It was a fun birthday and now my old husband is 26, owning a "real mans" drill.
My sweet man with his goodies
These are his triathlon shorts. I knew he wanted a specific kind, of which I didn't know (00ps) so I made him some mini ones until we order his real ones. They are pretty cool - even had butt pads and all.
Another of my umm, creative gifts. It's a little magnetic dude that has a kayak and paddle. I gave him a little morning kayak trip and this is how i presented it to him. We are suppose to go on this this morning - but gabe is still in bed this morning as that his is absolute FAVORITE now that he gets up SOOO early during the week, so he sleeps as late as he wants.
So excited that he has a real drill (not a wimpy one any more) so he can build stuff.
Chis and gabe - good friends came out for some drinks that night.
