Happy Birthday to me. . .

"Mom! Don't forget, you're older today!"

Thanks to Lucy, that's how I started this day.

It got much better from there. The highlight was spending it with the whole family in the City at the Natural History Museum.



By the end of the day, we'd seen every dead animal known to man,



picnicked in Central Park,



found a new love of milkshakes at the Shake Shack, and watched Calvin throw the king of all fits.

I loved every minute of it. Except the fit. Seriously, I got multiple comments from concerned passer-bys about my qualifications as a mother. They found me seriously lacking. Oh well, the ice cream made everything better.

I finished off the day with a pedicure with Patricia and cake with the Winslows.

I couldn't get any luckier.
