The Longest 87 Days of the Year

The longest 87 days of the year for me are the ones between March 12th and June 7th.  It is during that time that my age indicates I am older than Paul and he never lets me forget it.  

So, for many reasons, I am thrilled to tell him "Happy birthday!" today.

Andrew found an idea to make a candy bar birthday card for Paul.  He took the initiative to write a list of what he needed and he helped shop for the items.  

 It says:

Dear Daddy,

We were going to give you "100 Grand", but the money slipped through our "Butterfinger"s.  We didn't have an "Extra" "Whatchamacallit" to sell, and it wasn't "PayDay".  The checking account was "Zero", so we couldn't go on a shopping "Spree".  We didn't think that a pet "KitKat", a trip to New "York" or the "Milky Way" was appropriate.  We do want to wish you "Mounds" of "Almond Joy" on your birthday.  So take "5" and eat up this card.  We hope it doesn't make you "Rolo"-ver and get sick, but if it does, we promise not to "Snicker".  

Love,

The "3 Muskateers"

Andrew, Matthew and Jacob

Paul was impressed by their hard work.

After a Tex-Mex dinner out, we had cake and ice cream.  We love any kind of celebration!

Welcome to 41, Paul!  I have broken it in for you.
