Happy Birthday Scott!

Today is my hubby's birthday. I'm afraid his birthday is heading towards blahdom, much like my own. He has I-car training classes this evening after work as well as tomorrow morning so we won't be able to go out tonight for his birthday. He is taking Jordan dirt bike riding tomorrow - which, after spending time with me of course, is his most favorite thing to do. Maybe tomorrow night we can get a mini date in.

I bought him this for his birthday because I melted the last one we had. In case you are wondering how I melted it, I'll tell you. He used it all the time and since our kitchen counter space is extremely limited it was always in the way. One day I was cleaning the house for book club that I was hosting. In desperation I hid the dehydrator in the oven to get rid of it. You can guess where the story goes from there. A few days later I turned on the oven to preheat it and within minutes we were all wondering what that burning plastic smell was. Yeah, I'm real smart!
I am really glad that 31 years ago today my hubby was born. He is the 8th of nine kids and I'm sure glad that his mom didn't stop at 7. I am also really glad for the family that he was raised in and for the wonderful person he turned out to be. I love you Scott!

For some useless fascinating facts about this day in history go here. Scott shares his birthday with Keri Russell (same year) and Chaka Kahn.

Breakfast update:
I found this recipe yesterday online for a crockpot breakfast. We had it for breakfast this morning and it was pretty tasty. This website has some yummy recipes for other breakfast foods, like Blueberry French Toast Cobbler. I think we are going to try that for breakfast tomorrow. I also picked up a recipe for Swiss Oats and Fruit recipe several months ago from a Works for me Wednesday. I finally tried it earlier this week and the Daddy and the kids really liked it.
Thanks everyone for your great ideas! I have so many options to choose from now we can't possibly get bored with breakfast now, for awhile.

I'm always melting stuff when I put it down on burners that I've forgotten to turn off!

I'm glad you have fun ideas for breakfast and I hope your hubby has a Happy Birthday! :D

March 23rd is a good day huh? Thanks for stopping by my blog and for the Birthday wishes for "K". She really liked it. Happy Birthday to your husband.

Recipes - yum...

Happy birthday to your hubby!
I'm sorry your bday was lame. Mine is right at the same time as Mother's Day, so I always feel I get kinda jipped... Better than the day after Christmas (like my sister) I suppose...

Amber said...

OK, MAJOR yum on the crockpot breakfast recipe and a MAJOR laugh over melting your dehydrator. Just because that is SOOO something I would do!

Amanda said...

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes for my hubby. I'll pass them along.

carrot: I'll have to remember to hide stuff under the sink next time. :D

suzanne: I've done that before too. Glad to know I'm not alone.

NCS: I hope you like the recipes. We tried the blueberry french toast this morning. It was a huge hit!

jennifer: Definitely a good day for birthdays! Did "K" have a good day?

tori: I'm used to my birthday being that way. I don't know why each year I expect it will be different. A birthday by mother's day would be hard too. Our anniversary is a week before Christmas. We usually spend it shopping for christmas presents. Boring!

amber: The recipes are YUMMY! Glad to know I'm not the only one that would do something like that. My husband just rolled his eyes. Secretly I know he loves it when I do silly stuff like that. It makes me that much more endearing. Right!?

Recipes sound great - I want to try that crockpot one, yum!
