Yep, today is my day. I slept in and woke up to sourdough pancakes delivered to me in my bed. Then, to celebrate we did a family outing to Cambridge. We took the T in. We did some fun kids shopping at Curious George & Friends in Harvard Square. (You know how I love a good bookstore/toystore and this gets 2 thumbs up!) Of course it wouldn't be a birthday without some very tasty eats- so we lunched at the Middle East Club (chicken kebab, beef kebab, and kafta pita). We strolled through Cambridge and took in the Science Fesitival at Cambridge City Hall (interesting but a bit unstroller friendly).We stopped for the boys to take a walk around the Boston Temple and came home to my birthday coconut cream pie made by smart daddy-o and some yummy cake compliments of my friend Christy. What a great day!
I love that my kids are adventursome ethnic food eaters. It's kind of funny because although they may shy a way from a totally normal casserole they will dig in when it comes to Mexican, Chinese, Moroccan, Indian, Turkish in fact SS#1 said today "I just like other kinds of food so much better than American food!"And specialshout out to my BF Shelah, who gave me a great birthday present- she rocked the Country Music Marathon today 3 hrs and 27 min and qualified for Boston! Which means party at my house next year!!

Sounds like a great birthday. Who could really ask for more than pie and cake for her birthday!
ReplyDeleteWe wish we could have been there to celebrate with you. At least this was a birthday that you weren't on the road traveling and could actually celebrate with pie and cake! We love you..thanks for 32 great years.
