Clint's Birthday

Clint had a pretty lame birthday this year. I think he worked all day and then came home and we went to dinner with his family. Poor guy has pretty boring birthdays. One of these years I will pull off a fun day for him.

I couldn't decide what to get him. If he ever wants something, he goes and buys it. I actually could have come up with something if I had the funds. Well, I finally decided on what to get him. I knew that his combination license had expired and so he probably hadn't bought his elk tag. Perfect! I decided just to get both for him. I was so excited to give it to him. I knew he would be surprised, which I never manage. The night before I was cleaning up the kitchen and there was a license on the counter. I had looked at it a few times and it was expired so I almost threw it in the garbage but I decided to wait and make sure he didn't need it for something. I think I asked if he just wanted me to throw it away and he says something like, "No, that is my current one." Wait. What!?! Yeah he had bought it. I had checked online to see if he had bought it and it didn't say he had one and they let me buy it at the store so I thought for sure he didn't have one. So I went and got the one I bought and gave it to him right then. I asked when he had bought it. He told me he had to have it to buy his elk tag. :( I was so bummed the same thing had happened with the elk tag. So I went and got that and gave it to him too. That was all I had planned for presents so he didn't get to open a single present. Major bummer especially for someone who likes to open presents.

His birthday cake is pretty sad looking. I thought it would be fun to make him a fun cake this year. So he was surprised by that I guess. Too bad I only took like one minute to decorate it so it doesn't look that great.

The kids were so cute singing happy birthday this year. I think we spent at least five minutes singing to him. Even Gar joined in. We even had a contest to see who could sing that loudest. I am so glad that we have a video camera to capture all those fun memories!!

How I looked at that license and figured it was expired is beyond me. Unless when I looked at it I had in my head that this year is 2011 instead of 2010. *shrugs*
