Stu's 32nd Birthday!!

Stu has been trying to make healthier choices when it comes to eating, but I know that has to be insanely difficult with me around, because I'm eating tons or bad food every day now. I can't help it...I'm pregnant and I crave it so i have zero will power and I eat it. I thought for his birthday I would take into consideration that he was trying to make healthy choices to i picked up sugar free chocolate pudding and some low calorie low fat whip cream to top it off with. I told Stu about his birthday dessert and he didn't seem thrilled....Oops...I tried!  Stu said he wanted a cake....but not just any ol' regular birthday cake...he wanted a cookie cake.

Stu had been going on and on and on and on for the past several months about wanting an ipod touch and I keep telling him that Dave Ramsey wouldn't agree with the purchase (we've been doing Dave Ramsey's financial peace university for almost a year now).  HOWEVER....we do have a budget category for birthday gifts (we have a large family) so Stu got his ipod touch for his birthday. He seriously didn't put it down for 4 days. I got a lot of you are the best wife ever compliments...HA!!

Oh back to the cookie cake....so Stu wanted a cookie cake. I got online to order one from the Great Cook Company and I about passed out from the price ($42) I had to come up with Plan B. There was no way i could get the ipod touch and the $42 cookie cake. Stu and I happened to be in Sam's Club the weekend before his birthday and I saw a great big cookie cake...a 5lbs 6oz cookie cake ($14)....we are still eating it.

He was trying to hard to get into this thing. 

He DID NOT want his picture taken.....he just wanted to eat this giant cookie. 

Children's Museum

We've been trying to stay as busy as possible on the weekends to help pass the time, but we are limited to indoor activities because of the crazy heat down here. Most days with the heat index we are 105 +. I'm pregnant and not very friendly in the heat. We took Cohen to the Children's Museum downtown New Orleans and to my surprise it was awesome!!  Sometimes down here you just don't know what to expect. Cohen had so much fun playing in the pretend cafe where he served us plastic fruits and veggies. He ran around in the "up to 3" play area for at least an hour. He didn't stop the entire time we were there. Stu did most of the chasing...I'm just to big and tired at the moment. After the museum we walked down tot he WWII Museum Stu was a part of building and picked up a couple posters. He wore himself out because he took a 4 hour nap when we got home.
