Birthday fun....

We had an enjoyable day on Eli's birthday! The weather ended up being nice, so we took a walk and played outside. We had Uncle Will over for a spaghetti supper (one of Eli's favorites), and went back to WSU for a walk on campus and shopping for a couple shirts for Eli in the bookstore. I need to get Eli a Friends University shirt or I just might be a traitor! A lot of family/friends called to wish him a happy birthday, and I know he enjoyed the attention. We decided to wait on the Exploration Place because there is a sweet whale exhibit coming this weekend that we'd both like to see, so we'll probably go next week sometime. We're starting to think about our vegetable garden, since we'll need to plant potatoes next month. We don't have a lot of room, so we're going to do all of Brandon's peppers (that he's obsessed with, and none of the rest of us can even eat them because they are so spicy...although I may have talked him into planting some mild ones) in pots around the back yard. I have SPRING FEVER! Just get here already! Our Spring/Summer projects are: emptying the goldfish pond and filling it with soil and annuals, extending the privacy fence and eliminating one of the gates, painting Eli's future room upstairs a Teal color with white trim, and carpeting the stairs so we don't have fatalities :-) Yay for projects! I love them!
