Bday Menu 2013 - Ducks with a side of chips and Apple

Saturday was my Birthday and nothing is better than a homemade card, saving some ducks and a trip to the Apple Store.

The best part of the whole day was being greeted with my Birthday card from Nicky!! I have been searching high and low for the new Lay's Sriracha potato chip.  It is a test flavor they have on the market for a short period of time and I have been dying to try them.  That is by far my favorite hot sauce.  Nicky, my husband, called Lay's and long story short he found the chips.  AMAZING that man!!  He then wrote on the bag to make it my birthday card.  I was laughing so hard when he pulled a bag of chips out of his closet!!  The bonus was at the end of his message.  It said, " I hope you enjoy your i?"  I just looked at him puzzled and he said, " you know...ipad, iPhone, ipackage...whatever you choose???" 

We both had a case of the giggles laughing about the whole scenario.  So the day went on and it was time to take my nephew, Owen, to drum lessons.  Of course as we pull into the parking lot I see a female Mallard and 12 babies.  Dodging cars left and right.  After a few phone calls and patience we (Nicky, Owen and I) managed to get the whole team to safety and water.  

STEP 1: Getting them out of the parking lot to the sidewalk

STEP 2: Finding grass/water in the area

STEP 3: SUCCESS

After rescuing the ducks we were off to the Apple store.  Problem is anyone who knows me well also knows that most decisions do not come easy for me.  I must research and weigh the options before making a purchase.  So after approx. 2 1/2 hours... I finally made my decision. YES, I said 2 1/2 hours.  After that trip to the Apple store Nicky may ban me from going back!!! 

Luckily we got done just in time to head to my Mother-in-laws house for chicken and noodles, greens, and some awesome mashed potatoes. Oh, and homemade dinner rolls!!

Overall it was an AMAZING day!!! Thanks to everyone for all the gifts, cards, and Birthday wishes.  

PS- the chips are really good!!
