YUM to end a fantastic day with my hubby and kiddos

March Madness in our house has nothing to do with basketball.  Here it is birthdays.  Seth the 12th, Savannah the 17th and Mommy the 21st.  So we have lots of celebrating to do and much to be grateful for.  Even though March is a bittersweet month, the kids make it a brighter time for our family.  How can you not be happy and smile when you have these two and their joy and excitement?

My birthday fell on a Monday when Savannah just happened to have off from school for Parent Teacher Conferences and Rich's new schedule has him off on Mondays.  Seth was of course home and around and about doing his regular little 2 year old things.

I started the day by going to the salon and then Starbucks.  While there, it started snowing.  Big snowflakes and a wet snow.  Yuck.  I am moving to Florida.  It is snowing on my birthday.  It kept snowing before changing to rain around 1 p.m.  I wanted to go outlet shopping, but all the outlets around here are outside and in a 40 degree rain, not too pleasant.  Then we were thinking of the Butterfly Conservatory, but without doing the outside part, you miss a lot.  So we are saving that for Mother's Day.  We finally decided to go to Mysic, CT.  It is MUCH nicer in the sun, but the aquarium was open and we never do the inside exchibts because we always tend to go on a nice day.  So, we went there and had a great time and enjoy it being uncrowded for once.  We went to my favorite restaurant which has a beautiful view of the Mystic River and I had shrimp risotto and tiramisu with my three besties.  Can't get much better than that. 

After we got home we relaxed and opened my gift which is a Garmin GPS, which is useful, practical and much needed.  I have a terrible sense of direction and tend not to go places in fear of getting lost.  So, this should open up a new world to me and the kids and we can venture out and about more.  What a good idea Daddy!  5 stars!  All and all we had a great week of celebrations and I feel very lucky and blessed.
