The Rules of Birthdays (according to my kids)


The person celebrating their birthday MUST:
*  Have gifts to unwrap (even if their spouse gave them their gift 2 weeks before)
*  Wait to unwrap the gifts until dinner time.
*  Have a cake with lit candles to blow out.
*  Eat the first piece of cake that's cut.

      Layne and I went out to dinner on Wednesday night to celebrate both of our birthdays.  Then on Thursday, the kids insisted that I have a gifts and a cake.   Matth and Kennedy were running around wrapping their artwork for me to open (cute).   Matthew couldn't believe that I still had to take them to school and clean the house on my BIRTHDAY!  I didn't have any eggs to make my cake, so I made the ice cream pie that was supposed to be for Layne's birthday.  On Layne's birthday, we had the cake I finally got around to making.  All in all, we had wonderful birthdays!!  I guess I've trained my kids pretty well on how we celebrate around here.
