Baby shower birthday

My baby shower / Kurt’s birthday party was on Saturday. It was a blast! Kurt and I reserved a whirlyball court for two hours. I couldn’t play because I’m pregnant (duh), but I had fun sitting on the sidelines with two other preggos watching all these adults (including both of my parents) speeding along in WhirlyBugs (bumper cars) with hand-held scoops trying to propel a whiffle ball at their scoring target. After the two hours, we went outside where there were some tables, I opened the baby shower gifts, and Kurt opened his birthday gifts. For Kurt’s birthday present, I had found a website that I could search for pictures off Disney movies and have them made into T-shirts and other apparel. I picked the dinosaur off the movie “Meet the Robinsons” and had it placed on T-shirt for Kurt and a matching baby onesie. Then I took it to a print shop in town and had them place the one line from the movie that everyone knows from the Super Bowl commercial (or the movie if you actually watched it), “I Have A Big Head…and Little Arms” on both garments. Happy THIRTY-FIFTH Kurtie!

After that, we all went to Buca di Beppo. I can’t remember the stories shared, but just like at my thirtieth birthday it was leaked out that someone in our party was having a birthday so they brought out the candelabrum (Kurt’s candelabrum only had three candles on it though). The waiter asked which one of us was celebrating our birthday. I pointed to the birthday boy who, as usual, happened to be wearing the brightest shirt of anyone around. That night he was in his Kawasaki green shirt. Then the waiter asked the name of our birthday boy and one of Kurt’s coworkers called out “Kermit”. We sung the birthday song using Kurt’s new name - loudly. It’s not easy being green.
