Birthday in Review and Fall decor pictures

Yesterday  (my bday) was great! The morning started with Josiah and i laying in the bed singing songs at his request - ABC song, itsy bitsy spider and patty cake - good sweet times. I spent the morning at MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) - its a mom's group that meets every other Tuesday for all the moms involved and have playdates in our small groups on the off Tuesdays.  Yesterday was the large group and we had a speaker on couponing - which was good cause i need a kick in the pants to get back on that.  Anyhoo, while there my sweet friend Melissa gave me a bday card.

Afterwards i took Josiah home and Moe was waiting for me with a birthday gift - a lovely fall plate that you will see in a pic below and a gift card to my favorite local coffee shop (seriously- they make the coffee to order using a pour over technique plus they have some seriously good waffles - amazing) so i was super happy about that.  The man knows what his woman likes :).

I then left cause my sweet friend Lauren made me lunch.  It was some seriously good chicken salad.  She also hand painted - yes people - hand painted a picture frame with a scripture verse. Yep, i cried.

After that I came home and spent some time with my guys, did some crafts (including the wreath in the pic below) and we had (by my request) pizza hut pan pizza - a childhood fav - and ate my little wop-sided cake pic below.  Moe ended the night with a bang by giving me a certificate that had 33 reasons why he loves and likes me - the man hit a home run - i mean knocked it out of the park :).

In between all these activities i talked with all my brothers and sisters, dear friends, got texts, a supreme amount of facebook shot outs, and a phone call from my Mom at the time i was born and she sang "you r my sunshine" and "have i told u lately that i love you".  Am i wealthy or what!

The fall wreath i made yesterday. I bought the twig wreath from Michael's and just stuck the waxed leaves i already had in the wreath - super easy.  You can also buy leaves like this at a craft store.  Stay tuned - i may stick a turkey in it for Nov - then take the leaves out and put berries around it for Christmas - Oh the possibilities :).

Our Fall door all put together - i like it.  Its my first time doing one.

Last but not least my bday cake - strawberry with strawberry cream cheese icing.  I made a small one  for us and used the rest of the batter for cupcakes for my women's small group and a girl at church whose bday is Thursday.  This was a great idea for our fam cause we would never eat awhole cake on our own (or shouldn't :)) - an opp to share the cake love.
Oh, check our the platter with the candle on it that Moe got me for my bday!

The great thing about my bday is that its all month - friends and family will be mailing cards and gifts out all month - and even next. - Gotta love it!  Thanks Yall
