Happy Birthday John...UPPPS...Yuck!

Happy Birthday John

Yep, yesterday was my dear hubby's birthday...

I have always made nice birthday breakfasts for the

birthday kids in our family...
and yesterday was not an exception.

Austin and I got up early to decorate birthday plates.
Then, I got busy with the menu...
...
Fresh home made peach jam....done
Fresh strawberries from our garden cut up....done
Erin's special syrup made.... done
Potatoes grated and fried into hash browns..... done
Sausage fried.....done
Waffle's ready to cook..... done
Eggs ready to cook.... done
...
We are almost ready for our birthday breakfast feast.
Just a few more birthday breakfast touches to prepare.

(Do you like his new hat and suspenders? These were early gifts I had him get in Alaska.)

While Grampy gets calls from all of our kids wishing him well
I pick roses for the birthday table.

I ask Austin to take a picture of me with Grampy.
He said he was too tired and didn't feel like it.

I thought that was odd because he always likes to take pictures....

but, no bother... Grampy took this picture of the two of us.
(Notice that I dressed up nice and put on makeup for the occasion.)
(Of course this is how I always look for breakfast... lol)

All I had left to do was pick some oranges and
make us orange freezes to drink.

We are ready for Grampy's Birthday Breakfast.
Scoot over closer Austin so I can get a better picture....
... and you have a funny look on your face...
Get closer and give me a better smile....
...
Wait a minute..... what is happening????
...

*/#*!/#E A R P!! #*!/#!/*
...
Yuck!!!
..

Yes.... you guessed it...
Austin threw up all over the table...grampy....the plates...
well you get the picture...

I grabbed a bowl as fast as I could but it was too late....

poor Austin...

poor John...

poor Me... (I had to clean it all up.)

...
Well... birthday breakfast was over....

Yep.... would you like some cold cereal Grampy?
...
(Austin sets the record for untimely throw ups at my house.
When he was a baby he threw up all over my 2 hour old... just installed new carpet.)
...

Well.... back to John's birthday....
Clean up throw up mess...

Wash table linens including chair covers...
Clean up kitchen...
Sit with our sick boy...

Lunch out.... cancelled...

However I did manage to bake John his traditional rhubarb pie.
We had lovely rhubarb just waiting to be picked and made into a pie.

(I didn't notice that I was spilling out the pie juice until after the picture.)
...
Austin wasn't up to going to E.J.'s game or out to dinner
so I stayed home with him and John went alone.
(John ended up having a peanut butter sandwich for his dinner)

John enjoyed watching E.J.'s last game...

..and spending some time with Mindy and Ernie and the kids
before he came home...

Too have his birthday pie with me.
(We were suppose to have this with the whole family at Mindy's house.)
...
Oh well..... What can I say???

Happy 29th anniversary of your

39th birthday dear John.
This is surely a birthday we will not forget.
...
...but there is more....

Austin is feeling fine today... and even helped me cook the little sausage

I had left over from yesterday

So we had a birthday breakfast make over....

...without the fresh strawberries..
...without the home made hashbrowns...
...without the fresh peaches....(no more were ripe)...
...without the orange freezes...
but the waffles , eggs and small bite of sausage were good
...
Don't worry dear.... we will finish this celebration this weekend.
(Not that you care)

We all love you, Lura
