happy birthday wayne!

Wayne left for work at 6 am, so he opened his gift before he went.

I was kinda working on a low budget this year for Wayne's birthday and I knew he'd be at work much of the day, so I tried something a little different.  As soon as he and the girls went to bed the night before, I started cleaning our house (Wayne loves waking up to a spotless house.  Don't we all?).  I made a lunch for him to take to work (salmon, rice and vegetables) and also made a batch of cupcakes for him to share with his co-workers (practicing for when the girls are in elementary school lol).  I found some party decorations in the closet, so I decorated our living room and made a "Happy Birthday" sign and lastly, I made a candy bar poster and wrapped his gift - a tie.

In the morning, I could hear Wayne getting ready in the dark.  I told him I'd go make him a sandwich for lunch and went downstairs to turn on the lights.  As soon as he came downstairs he froze.  He was so surprised and he loved everything.  He went to work and the girls enjoyed the decorations all day for "daddy's happy birtday".  Wayne said it was his "favorite birthday ever". . . we'll see if he says the same thing next year too. haha

Happy Birthday Wayne!
