Today is a very special day in the Mayo household. Not only is it Valentines Day (which we do celebrate in some small way every year), but it is also sweet judebear's birthday. He's officially 4 years old and I think that finally makes him about a year away from being a puppy no longer. I've decided that the puppy stage lasts anywhere between 4 and 5 years longer for weimaraners than for other dogs. Some might view this as a negative, but we view it as tons o' fun.
It may not have been the biggest day of celebrating, but we did try to do a few things to make it a little extra special for all of us. Jude got lots of loves (naturally). Jonathan brought home some special cupcakes from The Sweet Lobby after class (now "famous" for winning Cupcake Wars with the fire-breathing-chocolate-dragon cupcake). I think it might even be topping my DC cupcake chart right now... in case you haven't heard, cupcake places in DC are like Starbucks everywhere else, so this would be kind of a big deal. :) Considering we've been trying to hold out on going to the grocery store until pay day this week (tomorrow --> thank.the.lord.), those cupcakes were the definite highlight of our dinner tonight. I think we're even almost out of that random bag of rice cakes that never get eaten... three cheers for being resourceful! We also exchanged a fun card or two (the kitten may or may not have actually been meant for birthdays, but I absolutely couldn't resist snatching that gem of a card). To top off the evening, the birthday boy even got a little extra special valentines day treat.
*Happy Vday and Judebear Bday!*
