For John, this was not really a WOW kind of birthday.  To “celebrate” he didn’t go into work at 5:30 A.M. like he had been doing much of the month.  Instead he stayed home so the kids could watch him open gifts at 6:55 A.M.  Johanna helped him unwrap them all.   Good practice for her upcoming birthday, I guess. 

 

 

 

He got a cool new Crown of Thorns tie, two shirts, and two books.  One was by Dr. David Jeremiah on the upcoming economic Armageddon, and the other was a Focus on the Family book on Raising Knights.   The kids were a little dubious about his spoil.  It seemed to be a little lacking. 

He sped off to work and we celebrated with waffles FOR him.    It was the least we could do.

 

 

 

 

 

We then headed off to our second-to-last-day at co-op.  Nigel made, um, something or other, in his science class.  It looked pretty cool. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Marie studied Indians in her Little House on the Prairie Class. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tabitha made a tree in her Art Class.  A/K/A “Mommy class.”  Then we were home and fixed a not-so-amazing dinner of Zweigle’s, potato salad, and cole slaw for Daddy’s dinner before he took the big four to their first night of HIS Baseball.  Hanny and I ran errands.  Not so wow… huh?
