A Boy and his Birthday…

Question:

What do the songs “Breathe” by Faith Hill, “Come on Eileen” by Dexy’s Midnight Runners (I think that’s their name, and the song is “Come On, Irene” if you happen to be my husband), and something about a “Valentine” by LeAnn Rimes, all have in common??

If you guessed that these sweet tunes working together in sweet harmony would make for the ideal soundtrack at the birthday celebration of an exuberant 4-year-old boy, you’d be exactly right!!

The great thing about having a fun boy turning 4 is that it doesn’t take a whole lot to absolutely thrill him—a couple of pizzas at the park with a Buzz Lightyear kite and we’re set!!  Then to top it off, “take your work to the park mom” brought her laptop (but not her headphones) and did some karioke for us with her best songs—we got dinner AND a concert, bonus!!  Her kids wanted to play their DS’s, but laptop mom said they needed fresh air, so no electronics for them, and she needed to concentrate (on her singing?) –true multi-tasking at its best!!

**Note to self, next time I get Cael some b-day duds (on sale, of course) with the intention of having each item be worn with something else that actually matches, go ahead and just get things that match together, like an outfit.  New b-day duds must be worn together, it’s a basic Cael rule, so now I know (and knowing’s half the battle)…

Happy Birthday to Cael! What a cutie! I love the outfit too. It definately works. =) I wish dressing myself were that easy.
