Happy Birthday Paul!

We were lucky enough to have our friends Kit and Basilio come bring sweety Rhoda out for Paul's birthday this weekend. We had a great time having a yummy BBQ in the backyard, whole smoked chicken, cornbread and baked beans with Paul's favorite Key Lime Pie for desert.
Then Paul and Basil took off for the Tiger's vs Yankees game downtown. They had a great time and so did Kit and I. We locked ourselves in the studio and got creative. Kit made a darling little hawiian skirt and onesie for Rhoda and I watched her be amazing and sat in a big pile of about 200 ideas and didn't really start anything, but ideas always gel better with Kit around, so there are lots of things in the works now.

We spent Saturday morning at a Mom2Mom sale (one of my FAVORITE things about Detroit) where there were about 100 moms all having "garage" sales in a church. I loaded up as usual on some great finds. I found Eirik a little keychain that makes car and spaceship noises and has his own keys. I also got a dinosaur encyclopedia and a tool belt just for Eirik! Yeah! He's going to love these things. I also got tons of great clothes for next season. Rhoda got a new pair of orangish red leather coygirl boots and the coolest cowboy and indian village ever! Eirik would have been jealous so he didn't get to see the loot.
I also had a lovely mother's day. Paul bought me some gorgeous roses and made me this BAnana Cream Pie from Abby's blog
Yes it was delicious! Go to the link to see a better photo of it. Yes I took this picture of myself. Hey, I wanted to document the pie and no one around here takes pics of me so there you go!
Thank you and Happy Birthday Paul (aka: Dreamboat)! You are on my especially good list this month!

Happy Birthday Paul! It wasn't until just now that I remembered our brilliant birthday surprise for the hubbies last year. I didn't do as well this year for J--but it landed on Mother's Day! We both got jipped.
