darling hubbys birthday

Today , my darling hubby turns 45. I sit back and ask myself where did the time go. We are getting older and so our the children. Well, anyways we spent the morning shopping for daddy and everyone picked out their gifts for Daddy. We came home and wrapped them and made their cards. He was so surprised as he knew we were having a party on Sunday for him and thought that was when they would give him gifts. So I know they made his day. He will get my gifts on Sunday when the rest of the family comes over.
Today I thought I would talk a little about dh since it is his day. He owns his own business and works a second job at night. He loves to spend time in the yard doind landscaping around our home and he is a wiz at furniture building. His winter time project this year is to make the girls a puppet theater for christmas. He also loves sports which he tries to catch a couple games or the race on Sunday afternoon if at all possible and we arent doing a family thing.
well ciao for now.
