Twenty-Eight

We celebrated my birthday on Saturday with James taking the entire day off of school and by going to the Festival of Books at USC:

There was an awesome station where they had some fun reading books

and decorating crowns to wear.

 At another booth they made masks

 and did some more coloring.

We spent a couple of hours during the morning at the Festival and had fun.  That afternoon we went through our closet and separated everything into 3 piles: garbage, recyle, and keep.  Fortunately, the keep pile was the smallest.  I am in a getting rid of mode and it felt so good to go through the closet.  I wish we had taken pictures....but we got rid of a fair amount of stuff....best birthday present ever.

In lieu of candles we decided to go with 28 sprinkles.  I had 2 willing helpers:

When James got home from his meeting we had some cake and ice cream!
