Firty
By Moriah on April 22nd, 2010
I didn’t post earlier today because I was too busy turning 30. When I tucked Adelaide in tonight, she asked “you twenty-nine, Mama?” And I said no… then she said “you got cakes and now you’re firty??” It just struck my funny bone and I died laughing. (I love age 3.)
My mom made us cheesy eggs for breakfast, and we all sat out on the screened porch and there were even presents! My kids sang to me (Adelaide has sung to me several times today, all different versions of ‘Happy Birthday’), and then a little later Andy and I went outlet shopping. (Speaking my love language.) We also grabbed lunch at a little cafe. It was gooooood. Pesto!
The afternoon was spent here with a teary Arianna, while my mom took the other three back to the beach, “buggie” boards in tow. I took a nap.
Andy and I hit up another localish restaurant for dinner and it was… an experience. Won’t say that we’ll ever go back! But it was good for a story or two, and the food wasn’t, um, horrible. (Ha.) We thought about going out to a movie after cake (carrot) but we were both a little too tired and opted instead for snuggle time on the couch with the kids and The Sound of Music. It was a great day.
Yesterday and today we’ve had perfect weather and no clouds. (Sorry to bore you with more beach pictures.)

Proof that I got in the water:
We just can’t get over how clear the water is!
Oh, and Madeline found another crab.

Okay, so I know I’ve used this excuse before, but I really can’t ever remember what day in April your birthday is. We have six April birthdays in our family now, and for some reason I can remember old school friends April birthdays, but yours always slips. I need to come up with a way to link your name with 22. Anyways- a very happy 30th to you. I guess I am next.
“you got cakes and now you’re firty??” OH. MY. I think I’ll be laughing about this one ALL DAY. How cute! I’m glad y’all are having a mahvelous time at the beach :)
:)
Happy Firty!!!! (It’s a good decade to be in…)
I confess that I keep coming back to these pictures over and over and over… We’re going to the beach in 3 weeks and it’s all I can think about right now. We have never been with the kids. It looks like you guys are having a blast! Where are you, anyways???
I’m dying to know where you are too!
Looks like a GREAT way to turn Firty. Welcome to the thirties.
Happy Birthday and enjoy the rest of your time!!
What beach are you all at?
Adelaide cracks me up!!
love the new look!
I wouldn’t say I was bored by your pictures, more like mad with jealousy. Happy Birthday!
Like the new look too.
Happy Birthday! This is one of the best decades of life. And I’m loving the new look of the site.
Happy Earth-Day Birthday! (A day late!)
Oh wow, your pictures are making me so jealous. We have SO much snow…
I really like your new design too! Very pretty!
Wow on the new look, very striking!
