friday was kevin's 28th birthday and all day kyri would say to him, "it's your birthday, daddy!" she was even more excited than he was to celebrate his special day! kyri and i started out the morning by letting daddy sleep in while we made pumpkin muffins. daddy received breakfast in bed...pumpkin muffins with one birthday candle, cheesy eggs (kev's fav), fruit salad, and orange juice. we came into the room singing "happy birthday"...kyri only sang one line and left me hangin'. she was thrilled to give daddy his breakfast and to help him eat it too. after breakfast, we opened presents. kyri got daddy a super awesome batman helicopter, which she picked out herself. it shoots these little, yellow discs that i'm sure will be lost by next week. i also gave kevin a picture frame collage that had pictures of kyri and i that my friend took for me. he loved it (i'll post a few of the pics later). i also ordered him a new pair of plugs for his ears that are made of this really cool black wood...earrings, not ear plugs. when presents were done we got ready to go to the pumpkin patch, which i'll blog about later today (3 posts in one day...crazy.)
after the pumpkin patch, we had some family time at home. i made artichoke spinach dip (kev's fav of all time) and for dinner we had turkey meatloaf and mashed potatoes. the best treat of the day was kevin's batman cupcakes. i had this idea a long time ago and i was so excited to try it out! how cute are those chocolate batman logos?!
on saturday, kevin and i had a much-needed date night. my mom came up to visit and to be with kyri. kev and i started our date with a little shopping so kev could use his birthday money from his parents. he got a really cute sweater from gap and new jeans from old navy. for dinner, we went to
lucille's BBQ...they have AMAZING BBQ! we waited for an hour for a table, but it was so worth the wait! we enjoyed the live music and ended up sharing a full-rack of baby-back ribs, along with yummy, southern sides. the food was finger lickin' good and we left there fuller than full. now that we know we can share a meal, we might be going more often for their delicious BBQ! kev's birthday weekend was super fun in every way. i love celebrating birthday...especially for my precious husband!

You are such a Sweet Wife!! Yes your batman cakes turned out awesome.
How did you do the batman chocolates? And how do you get your frosting to turn out like that? You need to school me in muffin decorating, my dear, please.
