Her Birthday

Sunday was my Mom's birthday. There was nothing special planned, as she never did care too much about celebrating (and she still can't celebrate anything yet). While Mom insisted I go play with Dad, I wasn't going to leave her alone on her birthday. Oh, excuse me. She and I don't have birthdaays anymore... just anniversaries of a specific birthday. I refuse to hit 30, so I this year I will celebrate my anniversady of my 29th birthday, and Mom will hence forward have anniversaries for her 39th birthday. :P

As it was Sunday, she was fine entertaining herself for most of the day with marathons they usually show. I told her to call me if she wanted to watch a movie together, but that didn't happen. I made her a "cake" out of Reese's Minature Cups and a Charms Blow Pop. Why it didn't occur to me to take a pic, I dunno. Oh probably because I had enough trouble trying to make it stay, let alone set it down again to try and get my camera.

I started watching "From Earth to the Moon" (1998). Twelve episodes in that series. I watched four of them that day and four more over the next two days. It is a goood series about the incredible journey we took to get ourselves on the moon. It's amazing. I'm completely hooked. Cheering when they succede and crying when they fail.It's amazing how much work went into getting us to the moon. And while I realize it may not all be 100% factual, I am still learning alot about the space program's history.

There was an emotional moment for Mom. The moment I knew would happen and why I insisted on staying home with her. It was brief, and probably thanks to the cats, we soon found something to smile and laugh about.

Later, I tried to take cute pics of my babies, but they were uncooperative. But here's a couple shots anyway:

Oreo looks almost evil here. But then  if Mom was holding me up like that, maybe my eyes would glow too. :P

After I made the couch (futon) wannabe look nice, Miss Pixaling had to got and make herself comfortable, pushing pillows over or just claiming them as hers and sitting on them or using them. :P

This wasn't the first shot, so she looks groggy because, she was sleeping but the flash woke her. :P Whoops?
