I was at Google I/0 bright and early the day of Dylan’s birthday. So, all I could do was leave him a little note and a small present (Chutes and Ladders) on the kitchen table. Tom had to work also, so after spending some of the AM with him, he took both kids to Lola’s house for the day (instead of taking Dylan to school). There, Dylan got a special bday surprise (a lot of Spiderman stuff, some Hot Wheels and Pip Squeak markers and Spidey balloons!) and, afterwards, Tom and the kids picked me up in SF and we headed to Millennium for Dylan’s bday dinner.
The best part of dinner, of course, was the dessert. He got the ol’ standby: Chocolate Almond Midnight! And, we got a sweet bday picture of him without the Spiderman face paint!!
