Lars Pooped on the Floor, Happy Birthday to Me


My birthday was a fun filled event. Lars pooped on the floor for the first time, we went camping, and celebrated with a nice dinner at Portland City Grill... in no particular order.

Turning 31 is pretty awesome. It is so much stinkin' older than 30. It's crazy. At 30 you can still cling to a whiff of your twenties. You can pretend and shrug it off, but when 31 hits and you wake up and realize that you have been in your 30's for a whole year, well, it's a bit of a bummer. I still talk to Tor about wanting to do this or that when we grow up... not sure when that is gonna be. Soon I'm sure. But I digress. I think what makes 31 so awesome is that on my birthday Lars pooped on the floor. Tor thought it was dog poop at first, but we don't have one of those so we're pretty sure of the culprit. After that little incident we are pretty nervous at the beach. We cleaned up the little spot, got all spiffied up and went to dinner at Portland City Grill. It was marvelous. Everyone there was celebrating a birthday, so it was a little like a really expensive chuck-e-cheese, but the food was amazing and the view -- stupendous!

We went camping again this weekend. Great fun. I wrangled the air mattress and pack n play into the tent so we were comfy cozy. The air mattress went flat halfway thru the night so we slept in a sloshy pool of air for most of the night. This post is a bit jumbled so here are pictures to better explain everything.

Very friendly deer. We figure someone must feed him. Her?

Happy Birthday! Poop on the floor...funny. I turn 32 on Sunday and am currently having a meltdown over how damn poor I am, how I live on this crap island, so on and so on and so on. The birthday I wouldn't probably mind if I wasn't so annoyed about the rest of my life. Jealous of your fun PNW times.

Happy late B-day. I love that pic of Lars in his jeans, too. So tiny. Poop on the floor, huh? It was both a creative and memorable gift--he's learning great fundamental manhood practices already. ;)

Ah...31. You're still so YOUNG!
