I had my 35th birthday this week. I remember my mom turning 35 and thinking she was so old!
How can a birthday go wrong when your husband gives you a pink box full of a dozen of your favorite cupcakes? In case you forgot the numerous posts of my love affair with cupcakes, Sugarbaby's is the best and their Black Forest cupcake is my favorite. He also got some strawberry and a couple of pumpkin spice.
Jon and I bought Jons birthday, our anniversary, my birthday and probably Christmas presents in Finland. This is a little number I picked up from Markimekko - their famous poppy print . . .
AND, most importantly, the Rain Gutter Regatta!! Collin has been looking forward to this for months - literally. He researched boats on the internet - pros and cons of boats vs. catamarans, printed out ideas and worked on it for so long I forgot what my kitchen table looked like. Then, it got postponed because of Ike (I'm still mad about it ruining Collin's birthday too!), so he could not wait for this night . . .
All his hard work paid off because he won . . . well, either 3rd (which they originally announced and which he has a trophy of), or 2nd (which is what he REALLY should have won since he only got beat once and that they announced to everyone later).
And for your viewing enjoyment - the match between Collin and the leading contender Sven, in the closest match of the night (notice the arm pump at the end) . . .
