Happy Birthday "Da"

No doubt, Bobby's 37th birthday was a memorable one as we celebrated it last night.  This was the first year Thompson was pumped about his dad's birthday...so much so, that he's been talking about it for the past week!  He even created an in-house card and gift scavenger hunt for Bobby to start the celebration.  (He'd been hiding cards and gifts all week.)  Not surprisingly, the highlight of the evening was Thompson's gift to his dad.  A week ago when I asked Thompson to begin thinking about what we might do and/or get Bobby for his birthday, Thompson knew exactly what to get him.  He went home and while Bobby was in SC at a Gamecocks baseball game, he created Dad's Birthday Surprise and Coupon Book...complete with a week's worth of coupons for Bobby to redeem with Thompson: Rita's Ice on a Monday, lunch with Thompson at Avery's Creek {his school} on a Tuesday, dinner at church on a Wednesday, Moe's on a Thursday, Ya Ya's ice cream on a Friday, Dunkin Donuts and movie night on a Saturday, and a bike ride with T on a Sunday.  As I told Bobby, it was all T's idea, I merely suggested he compile his coupons (that were originally on tiny sheets of paper) into a book and provided minimal guidance as to which day of the week might be better for certain coupons.  The birthday gift that keeps on giving!
