Only a few things about his age get to him. One is when we are the same age. In the 11.5 years that I have known him, every year he revels in the most wonderful time of year where he is 6 months younger than me, he tells anyone who will listen how old "we" are. In the 6 months we are the same age. SILENCE. crickets. nothing. about. age. evah. Fine with me I will revel in my cougarness.
He is nonplussed by turning the traditional numbers that people get worked up about. Howevah, this birthday was a bit of a toughie for him. Why? Because in the marketing world's eyes he is "OLDER." He is now in a new demographic marketing group that is targeted for responsible things like life insurance, mutual funds, safe yet "sporty-ish" cars with 4 or more doors and family vacations to places with water elevators and pools the size of the Vatican.
The boys were so excited about his DMG move that they literally ripped cards and presents out of his hands to open, they announced the few surprises we had for him and told him where his gifts were. They even told Momo that their birthday was last week. Poor LK, even his big DMG move day had to be shared! Luckily he got to go to the Hunter Valley on Friday for a mini break. More on that later.
Having to hold the bag to keep the interlopers at bay. They were nothing short of ravenous. |
They love a good celebration! |
We put streamers on the door and that was about the coolest thing for them. |
"aww mate don't let the number get ya down, your as good as evah" |
Happy Birthday! Looks like a fun celebration. I wonder if costco will have American style pumpkin pies this week . . .? Might be worth the drive!
