Dave's Birthday

For some reason, Kate has gotten it into her head that for birthdays, girls have princess parties and boys have Spiderman parties.  So when I told her that Daddy's birthday was coming up, she insisted on a Spiderman birthday party.  So of course, I did it up - Spiderman decorations, Spiderman wrapping paper, Spiderman balloons and a Spiderman ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins (
Rocky Road
ice cream with chocolate cake - his favorite).  I picked up Chipotle (another favorite) for dinner on the way home from work.  While I was paying for the food, Dave called to tell me the battery in his truck had died and he was stuck at work in downtown Seattle.  Change of plans! 

I made a detour to pick him up an unplanned gift - a new battery from the auto supply store :).  Then I picked up the kids from daycare.  The 3 of us started the party without the birthday boy as he had to wait for the garage service to arrive to give him a jump start. 

Party minus the birthday boy 

Once he finally arrived home, we broke out the cake and presents. 

Spiderman ice cream cake!

It was a fun party once Dave finally arrived home!  He got to round out the evening by installing his brand new car battery!  Woo hoo!
