The Gifts Just Keep On Coming!

Today was a pretty good day. This morning, I just wasn't sure I had enough energy to go to the gym, but Gerard INSISTED that we go. He loves it there. Thank goodness for that, otherwise I might never make it there!

My birthday WEEK continues.... Lynn sent me my present today, and I love it! She made me a quilted wall hanging for Halloween. She knows how much I love Halloween, and I just LOVE homemade gifts. Here's a picture of it (the whole quilt is on the left, and the right side shows the close-ups). It's hard to tell from the picture, but there are little 3-dimensional elements on it -- the bats, the RIP tombstone and the spider. It's awesome!!! I can't wait until October! (Click on the picture for a larger view:)

Plus, Gerard brought home a little something for me too! I've been looking for a tart burner but haven't been able to find one that I liked. Well, he found me two! They're so cute (I'll take pictures tomorrow) and we already used one. Now the house smells like blueberry muffins. Mmmmm.

AND, our friends next door (Shauna and crew) got me a gift certificate to a beautiful spa in town. I can't wait to use it. Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to get -- manicure? pedicure? pre-natal massage? facial? Ah, such dilemmas!

Tonight, Gerard did his usual bedtime dance routine. He likes to choose the various beats on his piano from Aunt Sada and yell "Everybody dance!" at which time everybody MUST dance. No exceptions. Tonight, however, I was able to video tape him a little instead of joining him on the dance floor. Enjoy this little montage...


Have a good night y'all!

What a great wall hanging! And I bet Lynn didn't even know that the top panel is a portrait of you from your 5th grade musical!

You didn't warn us that the video would be so cute that I'd laugh out loud! Luckily, no one else was at work yet. Thanks for sharing! I loved it (and got tired just watching). The breakdancing part was the best.
