The Birthday - April 12 or 12

The 12 of 12 for April fell (of course) on Trina's Birthday.  An odd day overall, so a little weird of a photo montage.

The day started out with the Internet connection being down at home.  So I got to spend an hour or so on the phone with Qwest before leaving for work.

Since I got stuck at home for a while longer than normal, I got to be there when Alex gave Trina her present:  Tangled DVD.

Fairly uneventful morning, so not much to take pictures of.  However when it came to lunchtime, we asked Trina where she wanted to have lunch on her special day:  She wanted us to go have a school lunch with her.  Interesting option.

In the afternoon, I got to spend a little budget money.  This is the resulting stack of POs.

After school, I had a construction meeting.  I sort of miss going to these.  This was my first meeting for Phase III.  (It might be my last - it sounds like there's not a lot of work being done that will affect technology.

After my meeting, I went to meet up with my family at Claire's.  Trina wanted to get her ears pierced for her birthday.

And she followed through.  Fun little present for her!

For dinner, Trina had a little more vision.  We got to go to Chuck E. Cheese's for some dinner and entertainment.

Trina probably spent the most time getting her picture taken for these little ID cards.  I think she walked away with 8 cards!

We also played some of the carnival games.  We didn't really blow away any of the games today, but we got a good amount of tickets in the end.

On the way home, we got caught behind a fatal car accident.  We sat on the highway for over an hour.  It was interesting to see all of the different emergency vehicles that came to the scene, but it was very sad to find out what the result was.  Not a very happy ending to a great birthday.

I ended up with only 11 pictures and didn't have much more to take a picture of.  So, as I ended my day checking my email it gave me something to take a picture of.  (It is  a Blizzard Fan Club newsletter, so it makes it sort of interesting - maybe?)
