I woke up with nothing planned for my day (which drives me crazy - I love having a plan), but it ended up being such a wonderful day! Spencer got up with the kids, letting me get a few more minutes of sleep. He came in asking me what I wanted him to do - hold James or get the kids breakfast. My response: "I want you to do it all." And he did! Spence was a champ - he got the kids all ready for school, letting me take my time getting up. I made Elle and Cal's lunches and then he took them to school. Madi was off school for the day so she stayed with me to help rock James to sleep so I could get my work-out in. I was able to shower and wash my hair in total peace. I was planning on taking Madi out to ice cream before picking up Cal from school but we found out the ice cream place didn't open until 11am. I was bummed. Instead we just hung out at home. Madi was super sweet about it though and very helpful (a huge gift). Lindsey Bell stopped by to visit and bring me a gorgeous lemon raspberry cake (pictured above). At 10:50am we left to go pick up Cal from school. After pick up I sat at the stop light with 3 of my kids in the car, not sure where to go next. Then I quickly decided to go run errands - Bath and Body Works and onto Costco. Good decision! It was nice to get out and get errands done. Elle was home from school at 2pm and Spencer got home right after! It was a great afternoon full of lots of friends stopping by bringing flowers, treats and gifts (Joni, Francie, Heidi, Lora, Alexis, and Lindsey Newman came later that evening). I felt SO loved and very spoiled!
At 4:30 we loaded up, drove over to Spencer's parents house to drop off a birthday gift for Lindsay. Then we headed up to Thousand Oaks for dinner at Cheesecake Factory! After we headed home for dessert and to get kids ready for bed. Spencer's parents, Lindsay and Shaun all stopped later in the evening to bring presents and visit for a bit! What a fabulous birthday it turned out to be!!
