(How cute is that - cooking with the laptop at his fingers for the recipe?) 
The boys had other ideas, though. Noah had to start the day out with presents because he could stand it no longer. He got me a Snow White Barbie. 
He picked it out all by himslef and told me about it every chance he got between buying it and my birthday. When it was finally time for me to open it, I thought he was going to explode. Of course, I didn't get to see much of her after opening her as my sons took turns playing with her. Next we packed a lunch, loaded up the family and headed to the zoo. It was a beautiful sun-shiny day and we thoroughly enjoyed our day outside. 
Noah wanted to see the Meerkats and Benjamin wanted to see the elephants. Check and check. Abigail just wanted to ride around in the stroller blowing raspberries. She did a great job at that. Benjamin even got to try his hand at feeding the birds. He did pretty well with it. 
Poor Benjamin did have one little accident, though. He tried ejecting himself from the stroller while it was in motion and landed on his head. It bled pretty good and I was amazed at how many people just walked right on by while we were trying to come up with something clean to wipe his head with while we were stranded in the middle of Africa. When we finally got to a bathroom and got him cleaned up, it turned out to be just a tiny cut, thank goodness. And once we got him cleaned up, he calmed down and we were able to finish the rest of the zoo.
Grandpa & Grandma Campbell had us over for dinner. Grilled steaks. Yum! I was lucky enough to score a new RED iPod, some new slipps, and a new John Denver CD. 
(It was hard to tell who was more excited, though. Me or the boys?) Benjamin had accident #2 when he and big brother collided and he got a bloody nose. Slowed down the wrestling for about 5 mintues. Save Benjamin's blood loss, it was a great way to spend my day!
