A birthday revisited

We had a great time celebrating Addy's first birthday.


Here is her free birthday cake from a local grocery store.
It was really really pink and really really tasty.

Jack helped Adeline open her presents. She got some great books, clothes, a stuffed octopus and this cute basket full of cloth Easter eggs with all sorts of things inside. Everything was a hit.


Loving the cake!

Why I like it when Ryan works nights

There are very few perks during the weeks that Ryan works nights. He just finished his recent two weeks of nights and I really enjoyed my afternoons while he and the kids had family nap time.

Monday- I went to Wegmans by myself. And not just any Wegmans. I went to the Pittsford Wegmans and took my time and bought myself and a friend flowers. It was lovely.

Tuesday- It was a beautiful day so I called a friend and we went for a nice walk. During said walk, she mentioned she was getting her haircut the next afternoon and so I made an appointment too.

Wednesday- I had the best haircut I have had in Rochester since my dear friend, Lindsey moved. I have finally found someone I will return to for trims or cuts. I love my new cut and it makes me feel like summer is just around the corner. I also introduced my friend to the joys of Xpedex. I got 80 sheets of cardstock for $2.00. I love that place.

Thursday- I got a pedicure. My toes are now painted with the color "Friar, Friar pants on fire." You can picture it. No? It is a shiny, apple red.

Friday- I went to Parkleigh and bought Ryan some of these to celebrate his finishing nights. Also went with a friend on a quest to find the right shower curtain for her new bathroom. She did not bring one home but there are possibilities.


I may not have another week like this for awhile. I will enjoy looking at this list to remind me of afternoons spent doing enjoyable, childfree, relaxing things.
