   Hi Elizabeth HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope you have a nice warm and cozy day. We still had school in my part of Michigan today but it sure is windy and cold! When I woke up this morning I was 41 also, but in 2 weeks I will wake up 42-yikes!

   Yep, our schools are all closed too, but unfortunately I’m here at work and the kids are all at daycare since hubby had to work as well… Even with the rain, I’ll take yesterday’s weather any time.

   I hope you have a wonderful, happy birthday today!!

    Well, being home with the kids for a snow day is no fun… on my last birthday Sam was very sick and threw up all over me…. so I know how you feel!

    We have some ice here as well. yesterday our school was the only one in the area that had a 2 hr delay. Today just about everyone was closed but us! We don’t have a coating but icy spots here and there. And the wind is blowing pretty hard!

    You know, I was thinking that for your birthday you should give something away, something like…a diaper bag! Yes, a diaper bag. Maybe one that you wrote about recently? Except that I can’t find it on your site, even though I KNOW I SAW IT IN MY FEED READER. And I was very excited about it.

    Though I can’t tell you why.

    (Yet.)

    (Whoa, nelly. Don’t get too excited.)

    (Yet.)

    Also:

    Happy Birthday, Beautiful Lady!

    Jes-I’m sorry, I did write about the diaper bag giveaway here on table for five, but I ended up doing the giveaway on MomReviews instead! Oops, my bad

    Here’s the link to the giveaway, and you have until Friday to enter. Do you NEED a diaper bag? Hmmm? Or maybe you are going to be an Aunt? I don’t want to get too excited yet

    And thanks for the birthday comment too!

    Happy Birthday Sis! I would have called but we got home a little less than 20 minutes ago and I just got done eating dinner (Boston Market for me, Rudy’s Bacon dble cheeseburger & chili cheese fries for Lou, *3* hot dogs and a few fries for Parker and taco bell for Monkey.. Think we went to enough places? haha) And we were out ALL day… whew I’m SO GLAD we’ve finally “hired” some help for me.. Anyway, I hope your day was awesome, I hope you didn’t have to lift a finger, and I hope those boys there showed you just how much you’re loved. Happy Birthday Sis! Love you!
