Happy Birthday to ME

Most people make a big deal out of their birthdays, but I've never been one to want a big fuss made over me. My birthday is no exception. Despite having had many birthday parties in my life, I can't connect an age with any particular celebration; I'm confident I'll always remember where I was and what I was doing on my 30th — though not because of any supposed milestone I've now achieved or any elements of "childhood" that I'm leaving behind.

Today, for me, was a day not unlike any other thus far in the grand stay-at-home dad experiment. Connor and I played with his trains, we played with his Matchbox cars, we threw poop at the wall (just checking to see if you're paying attention), we ate some animal crackers and graham crackers, we went to the dump (yes, again — it's our new cool spot), and we went to the hiiii-faloootin' Dollar General for necessary supplies.

I can think of no better way to spend a birthday.

"Animail Crackers!!??!!" Wow, I guess living in the SC has really made you change. I can't believe you are no longer a vegaterian. I guess age 30 is a good time to sell out.
