Birthdays mid week aren't so great. He took Jia to the eye specialist in Victoria today. The boys went too. They scored lunch at the Purple Garden. One of our fave Chinese buffets. I was at work trying not to be jealous. It meant the girls needed to enlist Gramma to help with getting them to work.
After work Eric picked Doghouse for dinner. And of course most of them weren't very hungry after their lunch feast ;) The important part was that Eric didn't cook.
The littles were asking for a dollar store trip since it was a special day. I asked if they'd be shopping for their Dad and it was a resounding...no...for toys! Eric agreed so they were delighted. Lip gloss for Jia, army weapon set for Luk and as always cars for Kai.
I ordered a cake for Eric from the Chemainus bakery. You don't really choose so much as accept what he makes :) Boys had some already the rest of us will have some with snack later, except Jia who doesn't eat cake. Lili and Fei made a cake yesterday for him and I ordered and paid for the cake same day. Good communication. So we had cake last night too!
Kai has handled Eric's Birthday beautifully. He was a little overexcited about cake but so was I. Haha.
