Well, you might wonder why I only have one picture of Jase's 36th birthday on our blog. As it turns out, I was actually having so much fun having him around for a whole weekend that I almost forgot to document! Crazy, I know. When I finally remembered, it was Saturday afternoon and the boys were pretending to be WWF fighters and throwing each other all over the family room. I tried to be a mere observer until Jase grabbed me and threw me onto the beanbag as well (after carefully setting down my camera first, good man!).
Anyway, we had a lot of fun. Jase and I actually went out two nights in a row---practically unheard of in our world---ate good food (some incredible Gyros hole-in-the-wall place that was a-m-zin' and had the yummiest grilled steak in the universe), saw "Wolverine" (actually not half-bad!), cleaned up our garden (ripped out all the corn that the ants nearly stole), and in general got to "hang out" together. On his birthday I made some super-yummy GFCF brownies, but we all devoured them before I could add candles or take a single picture! Oh well, there's always next year, right Hon? Anyway, "Happy Birthday"---you know we're crazy about you!
What troopers! Anyway, they had some daddy-son bonding time, saw scorpions blending into a branch, snakes, and a bunch of other creatures that would have freaked me out (glad I was home sleeping in with Ashybug!). Jonah is way excited about being a Cub Scout right now (Wolf, to be exact)--it's, frankly, adorable.
