Birthday Boy and 4th of July Celebration

Dear Hubs is 39 today...for the past 3 years he's told people he's 40...I don't know if he truly forgets or just wants to look younger! HAHA...

Not much going on today...He's still in bed asleep and Lily and I baked some Blueberry Muffins to start the birthday morning!

Dinner? We'll have his traditional Steak and Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Baskin Robbins Ice Cream Cake!!!

Gifts? Totally bummed...Lily and I planned on making his gift this year...you know one of those stepping stones...(got the idea from Melissa...Hanging w/Mr Cooper's blog) but ours didn't turn out at all...as soon as I was finished spreading the stuff it harden before I could even get her hands in it. I nearly sobbed! I tried putting some water on it and mashing her little hand as hard as I could w/o hurting her...nothing! How can the stuff harden in 2 secs flat? So Melissa...if you are reading this...where did you get your kit b/c mine was a bust!!! I have nothing to give him for his birthday! I have my love! haha! Maybe a trip to the gun range will be the answer...I better hurry and make a coupon for that huh?

Last night we headed next door to the pregnant chick...(haha...the neighbor I told you who is preg w/her 5th too) Her hubs set up a launching pad for all our fireworks. The little kids were half scared half cheering.....I think we will make this a tradition next year, but have a better plan...you know...maybe a fire pit for roasting smores and music to go w/the cool stuff the men bought!

My camera? Ohhhh how I miss you....I did hear from Canon last Wednesday and they said they received my camera and are making the necessary repairs at no charge? huh? and would have my camera back to me in 7 business days from date of email! WOW....so does that mean I could get her back this week? It seems like years in camera time!
