Well, it is still October so my birthday celebration rolls on. I mean, really, why not live it up and celebrate the whole month right? Kristen and I both have October birthdays so we had a great birthday breakfast last week. It was lots of fun and Phoencia makes a great breakfast, thanks everyone who made it a special day for us.
Later in the week, Kristen and I continued our celebration by taking a
Spa Day. Ahhhh, very relaxing and lovely. We both had facials and massages and spent lots of time in the hot tub and outside lounging by the pool. I have to say, I love massages, I wish I could have one everyday. The facial though, ouch! It was about 70% relaxing and 30% excruciating. Seriously, ouch, I had to ask my facialist a few times to give me a break so I could breathe. I was desperately trying to remember my breathing I used to get me through labor and then I remembered, crap, I didn't take the birthing classes and I got epidurals. So I asked my facialist if they gave out epidurals, apparently the answer is no. She just told me to focus on the music (oh, is that what that banging on wood chimes is??) and breathe as she continued to squeeze my face into submission. Anyhow, I digress. The day was wonderful, thank you Stephen for watching the babies so I could be a 'woman of leisure.'
Big night around here on Friday night. Amelia was playing upstairs when she started crying and laughing all at once and said mom, "I lost my tooth." I started cheering and hugging her because the thing has been hanging there for like three months now. She said, 'NO, mom, I mean I really lost it." So Amelia and Luke and I crawled around on our hands and knees searching for the missing tooth. FYI, there are a lot of things on our playroom floor that look like a tooth. We picked up little baby crackers, bits of cheerios, fuzzies, but still no tooth. Finally, Amelia found it in the bunny she was carrying around in her mouth while playing (don't ask). She was very excited to put it in her new tooth fairy pillow and wait for the tooth fairy to arrive. Mommy and Daddy got a very early wake up call at 5:30 am from Amelia telling us that indeed the tooth fairy did give her a visit last night.
On Saturday our family walked the bridge from Ocean Springs to Biloxi to raise money for Sophia Mohler. Sophia is a little, seven year old girl from our town who was recently diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. It was great to see the whole town out walking in support of Sophia.
Supper Club night and it was Oktoberfest theme. Somehow, our supper club has turned into a costume club. Regardless, it was a fun night with all German food. I am German but I don't think I have ever had so much German food, it was great. We all joked that German's are definitely of hearty stock. Lots of heavy potatoes, sausage and things cooked in grease. But it was g-o-o-d.
Kristen and Rod were our wonderful hosts this month. Thanks guys! Err, I mean ya'll!
Okay, I don't have a good picture of it but Stephen had the funniest hair. Everytime I looked at him I started chuckling. It was parted on the side and greased so much, he must have used half a tub of gel. It was so funny. He played a German well.
